A device designed for the removal, storage, and installation of removable hardtops from convertible sport utility vehicles, comprising a wheeled base unit, a vertical support structure and a platform assembly, wherein the base unit is aligned directly below the platform unit and the vertical support structure connects them together, wherein the device can be disassembled for simple shipping, is adjustable for height and depth to accommodate different SUV models, and includes markers for easy assembly.

A rotating structure for bearing section of workstation suitable for repairing or maintaining auto mobiles with large sized tires, has a main board, a supporting module, at least two corresponding loading boards and a plurality of long and shorter horizontal rods. The loading board has multiple sections, and the loading board further has a plurality of engaging apertures at a corresponding side facing the main board. Each longer horizontal rod and one shorter horizontal rod are paired together, the longer horizontal rod allows to the loading board to rotate and the shorter horizontal rod is secured between the loading board and the main board. By removing one of the shorter horizontal rod one end of the loading board is released for rotation.

A handling device for servicing a piston with a small end attached to the piston via a piston pin, having a basic frame, a receiving device that is pivotable or tiltable relative to the basic frame for the piston removed from an internal combustion engine, an actuator for pivoting or tilting the receiving device relative to the basic frame, and a locking device via which the receiving device is lockable on the basic frame in different pivot positions or tilting positions.

A versatile transport rack uses a center frame and one or two outer frames that are pivotally attached to the center frame on opposing sides thereof. Hinge pin receiver pairs, having vertically aligned openings, are attached to each of one or two vertical rails extending upwardly from the center frame and receive door pin pairs of a vehicle door. Landing implements, such as castors or landing gear, are removably attached to the center frame, the outer frames or both. A deck plate can be attached to one or both of the outer frames.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to an engine support system and method. The engine support system includes a frame mounted engine support and at least one engine mounted coupler. The engine support includes a frame mount with a telescoping body and opposing arms to releasably engage a frame of a vehicle, and at least one jack assembly. Each jack assembly includes a collar coupled to and horizontally movable along the telescoping body, and a jack rod coupled to and vertically movable relative to the collar. The jack rod includes a ball mount configured to insert into the coupler at an underside of an engine block of the vehicle. Each jack assembly is configured to support and/or lift the engine block relative to the vehicle frame by vertical movement of the ball mount into the coupler and relative to the frame mount engaged with the vehicle frame.

Provided is a jack stand that includes a base and a post for extending from the base. A top is provided for topping the post and engaging with a load. The top includes a load spreader for spreading the weight of the load to the post. Advantageously, the spreader spreads the weight of the load to the post thereby resulting in a more heavy duty jack-stand, rated for significantly higher loads, than prior jack stands which instead can fracture under heavy unbalanced loads locally travelling along one side when the loading is not evenly spread.

A device (1) for receiving and clamping a rotor bearing (6) is provided with at least one bearing block (2) lying transversely to a bearing axis of the rotor bearing (6), a bearing element (4) designed to receive the rotor bearing (6), a clamping arm (12), and a locking device (9). The clamping arm (12) has an engagement element (8) by means of which it can be brought into engagement with the rotor bearing (6). The locking device (9) also comprises at least two engagement elements (8) which are radially movable in the bearing element (4) and can be introduced into radial receptacles (14) in the rotor bearing (6) by actuating the locking device (9), such that a rotor bearing (6) which can be received by the bearing element (4) can be clamped by the engagement elements (8) of the clamping arm (12) and the locking device (9).

A tooling system for assembling a hybrid vehicle transmission includes a positioning device, support structure, gripper, clutch actuator, rotational actuator, and controller. The positioning device positions a hybrid module relative to a transmission housing. The gripper grips an input shaft of the hybrid module. The clutch actuator actuates the clutch of the hybrid module. The rotational actuator rotates the gripper about an assembly axis. The controller controls operation of the clutch actuator, positioning device, gripper, and rotational actuator such that an operation is performed that includes the clutch actuator actuating the clutch, the gripper gripping the input shaft of the hybrid module, the rotational actuator rotating the gripper to rotate the input shaft of the hybrid module relative to an input shaft of the transmission module, and the positioning device translating the hybrid module toward the transmission module to seat a housing of the hybrid module on the transmission housing.

A device designed for the removal, storage, and installation of removable hardtops from convertible sport utility vehicles, either from the rear or side, comprising a wheeled base unit, a vertical support structure and a top clamping assembly, wherein the base unit is aligned below the top frame and the vertical support structure connects them together, wherein the device can be disassembled for simple shipping, is adjustable for height and depth to accommodate different SUV models, and includes markers for easy assembly.
