ABSTRACT:
A lift for raising vehicles such as garden tractors to a position facilitating servicing of the underside of the vehicle. The lift includes a vertically movable carriage having two cantilevered lift forks which may be adjusted along the carriage to accommodate the longitudinal wheelbase of the vehicle. Each lift fork carries two cups for cradling and supporting the wheels of the vehicle, the cups being adjustable along the forks to conform to the transverse wheelbase of the vehicle. The cups extend away from the forks to allow free access to crucial components of the vehicle and may be reversed on the forks to accommodate relative small variations in longitudinal wheelbases. Safety latches catch the carriage and stop free falling thereof in the event the lift actuator fails. The lift forks are of an extremely strong but relatively lightweight construction. The lift also includes various accessories for facilitating servicing of the vehicle.
