ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for lifting vehicle tires which includes a base framework which is movable along the ground. An elongated mast extends upwardly from the base framework and has a masthead which is movable along the mast. An arm extends outwardly from the masthead and has at its outer end two tandem wheels which are aligned in the same plane and have rotational axes parallel to one another in a horizontal plane. A jack on the base framework is operably connected to the masthead and allows selective lifting and lowering of the masthead. The tandem wheels engage the top inside of the rim of the vehicle tire and cause the vehicle tire to be lifted when the masthead is lifted. When lifted, the tire may be rotated because it is supported only by the rotatable tandem wheels. The tire may also be transported when in a lifted position.
