Abstract: A portable, compact cart easily lifts and maneuvers heavy vehicle wheels for removal, repair, transportation, and the like. The cart includes a U-shaped bracket with opposing arms slidably interconnected along a straight center section. In addition to wheels beneath the cart, rollers are mounted atop the arms. For example, each arm may include a paired set of rollers forming a V-shape when viewed from the cart's top or end. When an upright wheel is cradled by opposing arms, the rollers help keep the wheel upright. A user-activated push/pull assembly is attached to both arms to slidably lengthen and shorten the center section, thereby drawing the arms together (lifting the wheel) or spreading the arms apart (releasing the wheel). The push/pull assembly may use a lever whose distal end is pivotally coupled to one of the arms along the straight center section.
