Abstract

See full text

Method and arrangement for raising at least one wheel of a vehicle off of, or above the ground. The arrangement includes an adapter body configured to be secured to a hub of a vehicle at a position external to a wheel mounted on the hub and that is to be raised above ground. The adapter body includes a hub connection portion that is configured to be secured on threaded lug extensions protruding beyond wheel-securing lug nuts of the wheel. The adapter body also includes a connection receiving portion that is configured for interconnection with a lift that imposes a lifting force on the adapter body sufficient to raise the wheel above ground. The hub connection portion of the adapter includes a connection plate that defines a first plane. The connection receiving portion includes a lifting plate substantially defining a second plane through which an opening is provided. The lifting plate is interconnected with the connection plate by an offset portion configured so that the lifting plate is substantially parallel to, but offset from the connection plate. The connection plate has a pattern of holes formed therein and which are configured for alignment with a plurality of threaded lug extensions protruding beyond wheel-securing lug nuts on the wheel.
