ABSTRACT:
Improved wheel and tire handling apparatus or structure including a base member adapted for movement on relatively level surfaces by the use of rollers and casters. A vertically moveable second section is adapted for movement up and down on uprights of the base member and a jack is mounted in between the base member and the second section to raise and lower the second section relative to the base member. The second section is further provided with an elongated axle extending across the second section on which are axially slideably mounted two tines. The tines can be restricted as to axial movement by the use of manually fixable slideable collars on the axle to prevent the tines from moving away from each other when a wheel and tire are received thereon. Rollers are provided for the tire receiving surfaces of the tines to facilitate rotational movement of the wheel and tire to align the wheel with lug bolts when remounting the wheel and tire.
