A lifting system for lifting a lifting platform through use of a lifting assembly. The lifting assembly having a vertical support rail and a control arm that is pivotally connected to the vertical support rail about a first pivot axis. A support beam being connected to the lifting platform the support beam having an engaging member near its proximal end that engages the vertical support rail to provide translational movement of the support beam along the vertical support rail. The control arm having an engaging member engaging the support beam at a location spaced from the vertical support rail to provide translational movement of the engaging member with respect to the support beam. A stabilizer arm is pivotally connected to the control arm and pivotally near the proximal end of the support beam. Movement of the lifting platform causing translational movement of the engagement members.
