Patent attributes
A modular wheel lift provides elevation of a vehicle wheel enclosed by body portions of a low height above the ground. A base lift unit includes a lift surface height selected to be less than the body portions height. A ramp unit is aligned and hingedly attached to one end of the base lift unit, to allow rotational movement of a wheel to the base lift surface. Additional lift units having ramp ends and progressively decreasing lengths are laterally positioned and stacked on the base lift surface. Side brackets are releasably positioned along either side surface to secure the stacked additional lift units to allow rotational movement of the vehicle wheel to an uppermost lift surface. A method of assembly and elevating includes laterally positioning and stacking a plurality of lift units having progressively shorter lengths to provide lifting of a vehicle wheel without disruption of the vehicle body portions.
