Abstract: The present invention 10 discloses a small vehicle lift generally consisting of a base assembly 14 and a lift platform assembly 16 secured to each other by a pivot pin 18 located at one end of the base 14 within the anti-tilt extension members 20. The lifting action of the platform 16 is angular to the base 14 and is accomplished through a hydraulic lifting device 22 which is pivotally anchored to the base 14 as well as to the lifting platform structure a short distance from the main lift pivot point. When actuated, the hydraulic lift 22 forces the rotation of the platform 16 about the pivot pin to a maximum 60° displacement. Additionally, there is a safety pin 24 mounted on the elevated rear portion 26 of the base that slides in and out and that acts as a safety device in case of hydraulic jack failure when the lift is in full up position. This allows for easy and safe access to the underside of the mower for maintenance and repair.
