  • Patent number: 11339039
    Abstract: The wheel lift for changing tire on a vehicle (hereinafter wheel lift) is a mechanical structure. The wheel lift forms a jack used to elevate a vehicle such that the wheel of the vehicle can be removed and replaced. The wheel lift is a portable structure. The wheel lift is a rolling structure. The wheel lift is a non-Euclidean structure such that the wheel targeted for replacement can roll onto the wheel lift. The wheel lift comprises a pedestal, a jack structure, and a wheel rack. The jack structure attaches the wheel rack to the pedestal. The span of the length of the jack structure in the vertical direction adjusts such that the jack structure controls the elevation of the wheel rack above the supporting surface. The wheel rack receives and supports the wheel targeted for replacement.
