ABSTRACT:
The apparatus described herein comprises a device for easily lifting and positioning a vehicle wheel, particularly to facilitate the lifting and positioning of a wheel for a truck or recreational vehicle onto the axle of the same and appropriately positioning the wheel for insertion of the lugs thereon. With the axle jacked to an appropriate raised position and the wheel resting on the ground next to the wheel base, two sections of the device are placed under the curvature of the wheel, a section on each side of the resting area and the sections connected to each other to prevent their separation during the lifting operation. Each section is adapted to perform an independent lifting operation on the wheel, the contact of each section with the wheel being by means of a cylindrical roller free to rotate on its axis. The joining section of the apparatus is positioned in front of the wheel and the rollers on which the wheel will rest extend under at least a substantial portion of the width of the wheel. While the opening of the wheel is being raised to the height of the raised axle, the forward or backward positioning of this opening can be adjusted to position the opening directly opposite the axle by adjusting the raising at one side or the other of the lifting sections. When the wheel opening is opposite the axle, the wheel can be rotated on the rollers to position the lug openings to place them opposite the respective lugs. Then the wheel can be pushed toward the wheel base so that the wheel is positioned on the axle and the respective lugs.
