Abstract: A tire lift is provided for lifting and supporting a tire to facilitate the task of changing tires on a vehicle. The lifting apparatus includes a base frame, an upper frame, and a lifting assembly. The lifting assembly is coupled to and extends between the base frame and the upper frame. The lifting assembly is extendable or retractable to urge the upper frame away from the base frame or draw the upper frame towards the base frame. Support rods may extend across an open top of the upper frame to support a tire in an upright position on the upper frame.

Abstract: A tire lifting assembly includes a support base with an upper section and a pair of legs attached to and extending downwardly from the upper section. A pole is elongated and has a first end and a second end. A bracket includes a central member and a pair of arms that are attached to opposite ends of the central member. The arms extend in a same direction with respect to each other. The first end of the pole is attached to the central member and is equally spaced from the arms. The pole extends away from the central member in an opposite direction with respect to the arms. A tire support is attached to and extends between the arms. A tire is positionable on the tire support and lifted when the pole is positioned on the base support and the second end of the pole is moved downward.
