  • Patent number: 5601277
    Abstract: The need for a simple lifting and leveling system for two wheeled vehicles is met by a jacking system and an adjustable stand. The jacking system is comprised of a base with a rotational member extending through two openings in the parallel sides of the base. A lever handle is attached to the rotational member. A lifting member with a resilient low friction surface is rigidly attached to the rotational member by supporting members. When the lever handle is pushed towards the surface upon which the vehicle rests the lifting member contacts the frame of the vehicle lifting the vehicle to a position of maximum height. The rotational member continues rotating past the zenith of rotation pressing the lever handle to the surface from which the motorcycle is being lifted stabilizing the vehicle. Optional locking mechanisms are incorporated into the jacking system to further insure that the rotational member is prevented from rotating after the vehicle has been lifted.
