Abstract: Apparatus for elevating and supporting a wheeled vehicle comprises a vehicle receiving platform, and supporting means for the platform providing for angular movement of the platform in a vertical plane extending longitudinally of the vehicle. One position of the platform is arranged so that the vehicle can be driven on its own wheels onto and off the platform. The support means includes a member which supports the platform in the mid region of the length of the platform, elevator means being provided for raising and lowering such member and thus moving the platform from a horizontal loading position to an inclined working position, the platform being pivotally supported at opposite ends about horizontal axes transverse to the length of the platform.
