PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lifting apparatus for a vehicle capable of transferring a wheelchair appropriately while shortening the transfer time of the wheelchair at a low cost.SOLUTION: A hydraulic cylinder 5 is constituted as a double-acting single-rod type of lifting a placing part 1 by elongation and lowering the placing part 1 by shortening. In a state of lifting the placing part 1 at an accelerated speed by supplying a second cylinder chamber 35 with an operating fluid from an operating fluid pump 33 and an operating fluid discharged from a first cylinder chamber 34, the pressure of the operating fluid supplied to the second cylinder chamber 35 is set to be not lower than a pressure required to lift the placing part 1 on which the wheelchair is not placed and supported and to be lower than a pressure required to lift the placing part 1 on which the wheelchair is placed and supported.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】車椅子の移載時間の短縮化を低コストで行いながら車椅子の移載を適切に行える車両用昇降装置を提供する。【解決手段】油圧シリンダ5を、伸長により載置部1を上昇移動させ且つ短縮により載置部1を下降移動させる複動型片ロッド式に構成し、作動油ポンプ33からの作動油及び第1シリンダ室34から排出された作動油を第2シリンダ室35に供給して載置部1を増速速度で上昇移動させる状態において、第2シリンダ室35に供給される作動油の圧力を、車椅子が載置支持されていない載置部1を上昇移動させるのに必要な圧力以上で、且つ、車椅子が載置支持されている載置部1を上昇移動させるのに必要な圧力未満に設定する。【選択図】図9
