Abstract:

A universal adaptor is attached to the top end of a hydraulic ram of a vertical hoist for accomodating the lifting of motor vehicles for servicing. The adaptor has retractable traction pads at either end of an elongated support platform which engage the lower shock absorber tower mounts on opposing sides of the underside of the vehicle. The adaptor also includes axle lift cradles which may be engaged to support a vehicle by its rear axle or may be disengaged when their use is not feasible, such as lifting vehicles having independent rear wheel suspension systems. The retractable pads are retained in discrete positions by a latching mechanism, being adjustable to accommodate a variety of vehicular undersides of differing lateral dimensions.
