ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a small vehicle lift having two vertical columns securely mounted to the floor. A first vertical column includes a motor for operating a set of pulleys housed within both first and second vertical columns. The pulleys and cables manipulate a first and second mounting bracket housed within interior tracks of the first and second vertical columns. The mounting brackets are manipulated in a vertical direction within the interior tracks. Linear arms are pivotally secured to the mounting brackets. The linear arms comprise a first member housing a telescoping second member therein. The configuration of the first and second members are such as to accommodate the weight of a wheeled vehicle thereon. On a distal end, opposite from the mounting bracket, is mounted a trough. The trough is pivotally connected to the second member and is of sufficient width to accommodate the tire width of a wheeled vehicle. The trough includes raised borders defining the side wall perimeter of the trough. In addition, the trough includes a stop positioned at a distal end of the trough. On the opposite distal end is mounted a removable ramp held to the trough by a removable locking pin.
