OPENTECHNICAL PUBLICATION OT-2026-000002172 Support device for a lifting platform, lifting platform with a support device Published: 2026-09-15T19:11:14.913517Z Permanent URL: https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000002172 Categories: Lifting, Positioning & Manipulation > Lift Tables and Positioners ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABSTRACT A support device ( 1 ) for a lifting platform, with a support element ( 4 ), which is designed to bear a load to be lifted, and with a hollow bushing ( 5 ), which is fastenable on an outer side to the lifting platform in a continuously adjustable manner, and in which the hollow bushing ( 5 ) has a cavity, ( 14 ) in order to receive the support element ( 4 ) via a rectilinear insertion movement ( 8 ) along an insertion axis ( 13 ). A stop element ( 15 ) arranged in the cavity ( 14 ) is designed in such a way that an insertion depth ( 10, 11 ) of the support element ( 4 ) in the hollow bushing ( 5 ) can be set in a stepwise manner and the insertion depth ( 10, 11 ) is dependent on a relative rotational position between the support element ( 4 ) and the hollow sleeve ( 5 ) about the insertion axis ( 13 ). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenTechnical publication OT-2026-000002172 Published 2026-09-15T19:11:14.913517Z https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000002172
