Abstract (en)

Apparatus including a movable platform is provided. The platform is moved by using a single ram, thereby avoiding the expense of the conventional multiple ram or scissor lift arrangements, and the difficulties in obtaining synchronisation of the same. Furthermore, the apparatus allows platforms of any practical size to be developed and moved and controlled with synchronised elongate member movement, said elongate members connecting the ram to several spaced locations on the platform.
