Patent attributes
A lift assembly guidance device enabling correct alignment of a lift pad relative to a vehicle includes a plurality of light emitters. The light emitters are mountable to a lift pad of a lift assembly so that the light emitters are disposed on a circumference of the lift pad. The light emitters selectively emit light orthogonally to the lift pad so that a surface of a vehicle, which is positioned over the lift assembly, is illuminated. The surface that is illuminated is that which would be contacted by the lift pad upon actuation of the lift assembly. The light emitters thus enable correct alignment of the lift pad with a structural element of the vehicle, such as a frame of the vehicle, and allow the vehicle to be safely lifted without damage to the vehicle.
