The present disclosure relates to a lifting apparatus. The lifting apparatus may include a base column, a mobile column, a sliding component, a supporting arm, a lifting system, and a move-coordination system. The mobile column connected to the base column may be vertically movable relative to the base column. The lifting system may be configured to cause the movement of the mobile column. The sliding component connected to the mobile column may be vertically movable relative to the mobile column. The mobile column and the sliding component may be connected via the move-coordination system, which enables the sliding component and the mobile column to move simultaneously according to a predetermined relative motion relationship. The supporting arm may be connected to the sliding component.
