ABSTRACT:
A work platform assembly for supporting small vehicles such as garden tractors, riding mowers and the like at a height convenient for a mechanic to perform work on the device. The work platform assembly includes a vehicle support platform that can be lowered to a position wherein it is generally coplanar with an angularly inclined ramp so as to facilitate rolling the vehicle onto the vehicle support platform. First and second hydraulic lifting assemblies are provided for moving the support platform from the angularly inclined loading position to a generally horizontal position and for moving the inclined ramp of the assembly from an inclined position to a substantially vertical position wherein it supports the vehicle support platform when the latter is disposed in the generally horizontal position.
