Abstract (en)

A transport installation 1 for transporting a vehicle 9 has a movable platform 3 on which there are two extendible arms 7. Each arm 7 has two pairs of carrier shoes 27, for supporting the wheels of a vehicle 9. The carrier shoes 27 can rotate between a swung-back position and a swung-out position. In addition, the carrier shoes 27 making up a pair can move away from each other and towards each other. When rotating from the swung-back position to the swung-out position the carrier shoe 27 moves in a vertical direction downwards from a position above the floor to a position on the floor. Because of this, the weight of the vehicle is borne solely by the carrier shoes 27 and the arms 7 are not loaded. Each extendible arm has two guides 11, 15 in which two guide elements 19, 23 connected to each other can move, each having a gear wheel 75, 77. The gear wheels cooperate with gear racks 79, 81 on the guides 11, 15 and are coupled to each other by means of a transmission mechanism 83. <IMAGE>
