Techniques are disclosed for methods and systems for automating the operation of vehicle lifts in the servicing of automotive vehicles. The lifts may be motorized mobile column lifts and/or fixed lifts, including two-post lifts with swing-arms and a variety of drive-on lifts. Motorized mobile lifts have a motorized transport mechanism. A guidance system first assigns available motorized mobile lifts to the axled wheels of a vehicle and then directs their transport mechanism for transporting them to their engagement locations. It also guides the engagement of both the motorized mobile lifts and the fixed lifts in the service center. A number of technologies may be used for this purpose, including sensors onboard the vehicles and/or the lifts and/or the service center. A computer vision pipeline may also be utilized to assist in the process. Machine learning may also be employed. Techniques are also extended to autonomous vehicles as well as interfacing with fleet management software.

A vehicle includes a chassis and a lift assembly. The chassis includes a frame defining a pair of tow points. The lift assembly includes an adapter assembly and a lift device. The adapter assembly includes a first adapter and a second adapter, each adapter configured to be coupled to one of the pair of tow points, and each adapter defining an adapter aperture, and a cross member extending laterally across the vehicle and received by each adapter aperture. The lift device includes a lift base and a pair of receivers coupled to the lift base and configured to engage with the cross member of the adapter assembly. The pair of receivers support the cross member in a vertical direction. The adapter assembly is configured to receive and redirect a lifting force of the lift device to selectively reconfigure the vehicle between a lowered position and an elevated position.
