ABSTRACT:
An adaptive portable lifting and leveling apparatus that forms an emergency jacking system useful in lifting, leveling, or otherwise stabilizing a variety of vehicles such as trailer structures. The apparatus primarily includes a lifting device having an anchoring bracket that functions as a pivot point, a mid-section, and a jack base of a standard type each being removably connected together in series. A hydraulic jack is preferred. The mid-section may be of a fixed length or may be telescoping such that the device includes a two stage adjustment with course adjustment via the telescoping mid-section and fine adjustment via the hydraulic jack base. Multiple anchoring brackets may be placed upon a surface of a structure to be lifted. The device may be quickly and easily moved to any one of the multiple brackets as desired. The device may be stored in a tucked-away position under the structure to be lifted. Alternatively, the device may be detached and stored elsewhere. The device may be produced as an after-market kit for adaptive portable lifting and/or leveling of a structure. Also included is a method for adaptive portable lifting, leveling, or otherwise stabilizing a variety of vehicles such as trailer structures.
