Abstract
A vehicle lift includes a platform having an adjustable length according to a wheelbase of the vehicle. A plurality of clamps are mounted on the platform, each clamp having an adjustable lateral position with respect to a width of the platform to mechanically engage a respective tire of the vehicle when the vehicle is located on the platform. A plurality of motorized lifts are located below the platform, each lift mechanically coupled to the platform, each motorized lift having an adjustable height to raise and lower the platform. Each motorized lift is moveable with respect to the first axis to vary the adjustable length of the platform and with respect to the second axis to adjust the lateral position of the respective clamp. When the platform is in a raised position, a service cavity is defined between the platform and a floor to receive a service robot.
