ABSTRACT:
A versatile tiltable vehicle lift capable of supporting a vehicle at a desired height. In its lowermost position, the lift tilts downwardly, thereby enabling a vehicle to be driven onto the lift. The tiltable feature of the lift eliminates the requirement that the device be retractable below floor level. The tiltable vehicle lift has an upper treadway frame for receiving and supporting a vehicle. An elevation means, typically a hydraulic cylinder, is pivotally connected between the rearward legs and the treadway frame. The tiltable vehicle lift is provided with a locking mechanism that safely maintains the vehicle lift at a desired height. The locking mechanism is comprised of an upper lock bar and a lower lock bar which may be engaged at any desired height of the vehicle lift. A means for disengaging the locking mechanism is provided so that the vehicle lift may be lowered.
