Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2641576A1] The structure (1) has platform (16) that is connected pivotably to the support pillars (10,10'), and is provided with a horizontal pivot axis such that the platform is pivotable about the horizontal axis. The lifting devices (6,6') are hingedly connected to the support pillar for lifting and lowering the support pillars with the platform between the retracted position and the extended position. The support pillar is constructed from one structure and is provided with curved configuration along the longitudinal axis. An independent claim is included for a manufacturing method of the support pillar used in vehicle lift structure.
