Abstract: A pair of lift carriages for supporting spacedly over ground, in a removable fashion, the front guiding skis of a snowmobile. Each carriage includes a frame, movably mounted over ground by tires, and a lever arm pivoted to the frame about an axis parallel to the rolling direction of the tires. The frame and the lever arm comprise hooks, to grasp and fixedly secure the ski when the lever arm is manually operated in an opertive position. The length of the hook is adjustable, so as to adapt itself to snowmobile skis of various widths. A look releasably locks the lever arm in its operative position.

Abstract: A lift device for lifting the front or rear of a snowmobile. The lift is actuated by a pivoted handle bar, controlling a snowmobile chassis-engaging bracket through a parallelogram linkage. A non-hydraulic ram is connected to the parallelogram linkage wherein fluid pressure inside the ram cylinder builds up as the piston rod thereof retracts concurrently with the lowering of the raised snowmobile under the load of the descending snowmobile. A releasable lock about the inner end of the handle bar maintains the ram in loaded condition, until a vehicle is to be lifted. The power assist ram reduces by up to 90% the effort needed to pivot handle bar to lift the vehicle.
