The mechanism is the scissor mechanism for lifting objects and I need to attach it on the husky robot. I have seen youtube tutorials of the sw_urdf_exporter but they are for quite simpler assemblies.

URDF does not support closed kinematic loops (also).

To represent it in URDF, you would have to break the kinematic loop. Alternately, you could convert to Gazebo's SDF format which does support closed kinematic loops. The best approach will depend on what your end goal is.
