Lifting platform for lifting vehicles

A lifting platform with two lifting devices distanced from one another and oriented to a common center axis of the lifting platform, with a working space for lifting/lowering vehicles therebetween. Each lifting device includes a vertically movable carrier. Each carrier receives at least two support arms, respectively pivotably-mounted about a pivot-axis on the carrier, the arms being orientable between a starting position parallel to the center axis to a use position in the working space. Each carrier longitudinal axis is parallel to the center axis, and a straight connecting line extends between the at least two pivot axes of each carrier to be oriented in an acute angle to the carrier longitudinal axis, such that two of the opposite pivot axes arranged to the center axis in a mirror-inverted manner have a greater distance to the center axis than the other at least two pivot axes of the carriers.
