A rotating container dumper includes a bin assembly having at least one opening configured to receive a container, a frame that is configured to receive the bin assembly, and a linkage system that is operably coupled to the frame and the bin assembly. The linkage system is configured to rotate the bin assembly between a home position and a deployed position. In the home position, the bin assembly is disposed within the frame and a first opening of the at least one opening is positioned at a top of the bin assembly. In the deployed position, the bin assembly is disposed outside of the frame and the first opening of the at least one opening is positioned at a bottom of the bin assembly.

A scissor lift with a height sensor system includes a scissors assembly including at least one scissor leg configured to lower and raise a platform, an angle sensor configured to sense the angular position of a pivot pin about which the scissor leg pivots, and a processor configured to calculate a height of the platform from the angular position sensed by the angle sensor. The processor may also be configured to control the lift actuator in response to the height of the platform calculated from the angular position sensed by the angular sensor. The angle sensor may be a magnetic angle sensor configured to sense the angle of a magnetic angular marker attached to the pivot pin.

Scissors lift with height sensor system

A centering device for a platform lift which includes a lifting mechanism for moving objects from a first to a second height. The lift mechanism has a base, at least a first and a second set of legs, and a platform. The first and second sets of legs each have first opposite ends pivotally secured to the base and the platform, respectively, and second opposite ends provide with traveling members to cooperate with the platform and base, respectively. The platform has a lower portion including a rail upon which the traveling members of the first set of legs traverse. Between the ends of each of the first set of legs, having the traveling members, and the rail, a centering device is disposed to provide alignment of the traveling members and the rails.
