ABSTRACT:
A vehicle lifting system includes two pneumatic jacks each equipped with a detachable adapter for engaging a vehicle tire to lift the vehicle by its tires. The adapter has a fork with two arms that support the tire at two points on its circumference, on opposite sides of the tire's axis of rotation. The system also includes an air source connected to the jacks by a T-joint and separate air lines so that the jacks lift in unison. In another embodiment, the adapter is a receptacle for holding an end of a rigid lifter bar. Each jack is positioned on an opposite side of the vehicle with the lifter bar under the vehicle frame and extending between the jacks. The bar is equipped with body clamps to prevent the vehicle body from slipping during lifting.
