  • Patent number: 10124481
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to risers for automotive repair and to related methods and systems. In a first illustrative embodiment, a generally U-shaped riser is formed from two boxes each having a generally L shape. A latitudinal portion of the riser is formed from the adjustable joining of the two boxes, with the remainder of the L-shaped portions disposed in an orthogonal direction. A vehicle may be positioned within the U-shaped riser and the two boxes adjusted to place the riser adjacent the vehicle. When not in use, the riser may be reduced to a minimum space position and stored. The riser may be formed from a number of smaller components, such as planar members or metal framing, allowing it to be taken apart for longer storage or for ease of shipping.
