Even with just a few Lego gears and a motor, useful lifting mechanisms can be made. In this video, I showed a few of them, such as a Parallelogram and Scissor Lift. Some of the mechanisms can lift a decent weight, a couple of kilos or even more. Maybe in the next videos I will do a destructive test.
Enjoy!

Will you be interested to know what is the max weight these mechanisms can handle?

The scissor lift could be improved by having both of the pivot points secured. The way you had it in the video meant that the liftarm was just dragging across a surface, creating friction. Scissor lifts that are used on construction sites have the whole mechanism properly secured and is allowed to slide back and forth in a proper groove, whilst being properly attached and supported.

Only missing a catapult contraption... 😅 Nice examples, but man your filming and editing are top notch, really pleasant to watch! 😃👍👍👊 Depth of field is that by optics or is it software, wondering because it looks natural. Great work!

Was this a college/uni project? How many different ways can you lift a vehicle from point A to point B?
