A system for allowing a wheeled truck to cooperate with a relatively stationary lift table assembly, in order to selectively raise the truck during various material handling operations. The lifting combination essentially comprises a vertically extendable lift table assembly which cooperates with a wheeled truck which can be selectively superposed upon the lift table assembly. The lift table includes a scissor jack linkwork, and can be easily positioned, as necessary, within a material handling space. The wheeled truck includes means to engage guideways on the lift table assembly, as the truck is wheeled thereover to its selective engagement position.

A lifting combination for handling material which is to be raised to any desired vertical elevation with respect to a ground reference which essentially comprises a vertically extendable lift table assembly and a cooperating wheel truck assembly, for handling said material, that is operable for a selective superposed mating upon said lift table assembly; wherein, (a) said lift table assembly comprises a horizontally extending working platform which is positioned above, and operable to be vertically extended by, a scissor jack linkwork assembly, said working platform further comprising at least one horizontally extending guideway and said lift table assembly further comprises a sub-carriage support for said scissor-jack linkwork assembly, said sub-carriage including means to allow independent horizontal movement and placement of said lift table upon said ground reference, either prior or during a mating engagement with said wheeled truck assembly; wherein, (b) said wheeled truck assembly comprises a load platform supported upon wheels which maintain the load platform at underside at a first distance above a ground reference, said first distance being sufficient to allow said truck assembly to be initially horizontally wheeled into a superposed mating to said working platform when said lift table assembly is in a lowered position, said wheeled truck assembly further including means to engage the horizontally extending guideway of said lift table assembly when wheeled thereover; whereby said wheeled truck assembly is operable to be selectively engaged with said working platform, raised to any desired vertical position thereby, and so enabling said material to be further handled, and said truck assembly then selectively wheeled away when said lift table is repositioned at said lowered position.
