A device for lifting a small vehicle having a frame and a hood includes a lifting mechanism configured to move a platform from a lowered position to a raised position; and a saddle attached to the platform. The saddle has a top plate having a front side and a back side, opposed first and second side plates extending vertically in a first direction, and a lip extending vertically in a second direction. A supporting member extends outwardly from the top plate. An elbow has a first portion releasably coupled to the supporting member, and a second portion extending upwardly from the first portion. A hook disposed on a threaded handle attaches to the second portion of the elbow and is configured to move between a lowered position and raised position. The lip engages with the frame of the vehicle, and the hook fastens to a portion of the hood.

Vehicle lift

One disclosed lifting apparatus includes a base, a receiving portion, and a first pair of laterally offset arms. The base has proximal and distal ends, and the laterally offset arms are rotatably coupled to the base for movement between lowered and raised positions. The arms are also rotatably coupled to the receiving portion, and the receiving portion is relatively near the base distal end when the arms are at the lowered position. The arms of the first pair of arms do not share a common axis of rotation with one another. Further, a height of the first pair of arms when at the lowered position is less than the sum of: (a) a thickness of one arm of the first pair of arms; (b) a thickness of the other arm of the first pair of arms; and (c) a height of the base at the distal end.

Lifting apparatus

Base for a lifting apparatus

One disclosed lifting apparatus includes a base, a receiving portion, first and second arms, and a support. The base has a proximal end, a distal end, and first and second opposed sides. The first side has a plurality of receiving areas spaced apart between the proximal and distal ends. The arms are rotatably coupled to the base for movement between lowered and raised positions, and are coupled to the receiving portion. The receiving portion is relatively near the base distal end when the first and second arms are at the lowered position, and the receiving portion is relatively distant to the base distal end when the first and second arms are at the raised position. The support rotatably extends from the first arm and automatically engages at least one of the receiving areas when the first and second arms move from the lowered position to the raised position.
