ABSTRACT:
A tilting lift apparatus for providing access to the under carriage of a vehicle, such as a fork lift truck is disclosed. A base pivotally mounts at least two longitudinally extending ramps. When a vehicle is moved onto the ramps they move from an angle position to a level position. A movement attenuating assembly is connected to the ramps for slowing their movement. In a preferred embodiment a tilter leg assembly is pivotally mounted together with a pivotally mounted brace. Both swing downwardly and engage as the ramps move toward the level position. A worker may then move under the ramps to perform maintenance or repair on the vehicle.
