ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for handling large heavy components of motor vehicles includes a movable cart having a top planar surface member and a hydraulic lift mounted to the cart. The hydraulic lift carries on the upper end portion of the smallest piston a head apparatus which includes a plurality of movable and adjustable arms with an angle member on one end of each arm. The head apparatus is adjustable to engage the contour of the component to be handled.
An adapter is mountable on the piston rod for use in handling a fuel tank containing fuel when work thereon is necessary.
Fixed to one end of the cart are supports for a sleeve that can pivot through 360 degrees. The cart also carries a tank into which fluids flow from said motor vehicle and the component.
The component to be handled, when lowered to the top planar surface, is maneuvered to a position and secured by an arcuate member that is mounted to a shaft slidable in the sleeve. The sleeve and component are rotatable through 180 degrees to a working position at which the component can be worked upon.
Reversing the steps mentioned allows the component to be re-attached to the motor vehicle.
