ABSTRACT:
A device for assisting in the mounting of a vehicle wheel. The present invention apparatus is adapted to provide apparatus for lifting a vehicle wheel to the height of a vehicle axle hub and mounting bolts and position the wheel for mounting thereon. A mounting base is equipped with a plurality of roller assemblies which permit the apparatus to be moved in all directions along the ground or other supporting surface. A supporting guide frame is secured to the mounting base to provide a positioning guide for lifting the vehicle wheel. A wheel positioning frame is slidably coupled to the positioning frame. The wheel positioning frame is curved to receive the vehicle tire. A plurality of rollers are coupled to the positioning frame in parallel spaced relation, the axis of each roller being adapted to be oriented parallel to the vehicle axle. A hoist assembly is coupled between the mounting base and the wheel positioning frame for raising the wheel positioning frame relative to the mounting base.
