Abstract: The disclosed inventive concept provides an autonomous vehicle lift system in which the lift arms are automatically placed into their correct positions prior to the vehicle being lifted for servicing. The system includes a pair of spaced apart vertical posts and a wheel locator. Each post is fitted with a vertically movable lift arm assembly. Each lift arm assembly includes a pair of independently operating lift arms and drive systems for both rotating the arm into position and for extending the arm. At the end of each lift arm is a lift pad. Each lift pad may include a scissors system for lifting and lowering the pad relative to the associated arm. An operator's station is provided for inputting vehicle information. Once the information is entered, the autonomous lift system is initiated. The lift arms automatically move into their correct predetermined positions and the vehicle is ready to be lifted.
