A tire lifting assembly used to remove and replace a wheel and a tire on a vehicle is disclosed. The tire lifting assembly is configured to take the weight of the wheel and the tire when the service technician removes or replaces it thereby eliminating the need for manual efforts from a service technician. The assembly is rolled under the mounted wheel and tire and quickly adjusted to secure the wheel and tire by using a roller platform. A scissor jack mechanism is used to adjust the height of the roller platform which allows the rotation of the tire during the mounting procedure.

The invention relates to a lifting device for lifting loads, vehicles, or the like, comprising a mobile base frame (12); a lifting column (14) provided on the base frame (12); a support (15), said lifting column (14) and support (15) being guided by a guide (45); a load receiving means (20) which is arranged on the support (15) and by means of which a load receiving region (21) is determined, said base frame (12) having at least three support points outside of the load receiving region (21) of the load receiving means (20); and a drive unit which can be controlled by a controller and which moves the support (14) up and down relative to the lifting column (14). The lifting column (14) is arranged on the base frame (12) eccentrically to the load receiving region (21) and in a rotated manner relative to a longitudinal side of the load receiving region (20).

A device for lifting a wheel and rolling the wheel on a surface includes an elongated rigid plate having a top side, a bottom side, a peripheral edge, a pedal portion at a rear end of the rigid plate, and a wheel portion at a forward end of the rigid plate. A ground roller is fixed with the bottom side of the rigid plate and at least two wheel rollers are fixed with a top side of the wheel portion. In use, with the wheel resting on the wheel rollers, the pedal portion may be pressed downwardly to pivot the rigid plate about the roller to lift the wheel. The lifting device is then rolled on the surface to place the wheel at a desired position, and rotated until obtaining a desired rotational orientation.
