Abstract: A vehicle lift comprising a main housing and a carriage assembly configured to engage a wheel of a vehicle, with the carriage assembly being vertically shiftable relative to the main housing. The vehicle lift additionally includes a lift control module for controlling actuation of said carriage assembly. The vehicle lift further includes a docking area configured to receive a diagnostic device, with the docking area including a power port configured to provide power to the diagnostic device.

Abstract: A wireless portable vehicle lift system. The lift system includes two or more portable lifts and an electronic control system for controlling the lifts. The electronic control system comprises a wireless communication system for wirelessly communicating lift control signals among the lifts. The electronic control system includes a remote control module configured to communicate wirelessly with the lifts, with the remote control module including a touch screen display. The electronic control system is programmed so that vertical shifting of the lifts requires dual operator input from at least two locations on the remote control module, with at least one of the two locations being on the touch screen display.

Abstract: A velocity controlled wireless portable vehicle lift system for lifting a vehicle. The lift system includes two or more portable lifts and an electronic control system for controlling the lifts. The electronic control system includes a wireless communication system for communicating control signals among the lifts. The electronic control system includes a velocity control system that determines the velocity of each lift and, based on the determined velocities, maintains the lifted vehicle in a level condition during raising and lowering operations.

Abstract: A vehicle lift system incorporating one or more lift control modules having an advanced operating platform. The lift control module includes a user interface for receiving user instructions from a user, at least one control module processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium with an advanced operating platform stored thereon. The computer readable medium includes a first application operable executable by the advanced operating platform. The first application directs the control module processor to provide instructions to the vehicle lift to control the vehicle lift based on the user instructions. The computer readable medium further includes a second application executable by the advanced operating platform. The second application directs the control module processor to perform certain steps, with such certain steps not directed to controlling the vehicle lift. Furthermore, the advanced operating platform is configured to execute said first application and said second application simultaneously.

Abstract: A combustion-powered portable vehicle lift comprising a base, a post supported by the base, and a carriage assembly vertically shiftable relative to the post. The vehicle lift additionally comprises a combustion power system including a fuel tank and a combustion engine. The vehicle lift further comprises a hydraulic power system including a hydraulic reservoir, a hydraulic pump, and a hydraulic cylinder. As such, the combustion power system is operable to power the hydraulic power system to shift the carriage assembly relative to the post.

Abstract: A self-synchronizing wheel lift system configured to lift a vehicle using compressed air. The lift system comprises a plurality of pneumatic wheel lifts and a lift control system. The lift control system is configured to automatically synchronize the heights of the wheel lifts during vehicle lifting without causing any of the wheel lifts to completely stop during vehicle lifting.

Abstract: Wireless portable vehicle lift system incorporating one or more enhanced communication and/or control features. The lift system can incorporate enhanced touch screen-enabled functionalities, enhanced multi-processor architectures, and/or enhanced emergency stop features.
