A vehicle jacking assembly for raising a vehicle includes a plurality of cylinders, each of which is configured to couple to a frame of a vehicle proximate to a respective wheel of the vehicle. The cylinder comprises a plurality of nested sections so that the cylinder is selectively extensible. An actuator that is coupled to the vehicle is operationally coupled to the plurality of cylinders and an electrical circuit of the vehicle. The actuator is positioned to selectively actuate the plurality of cylinders to extend the cylinders from the frame of the vehicle so that the cylinders contact a surface. The plurality of cylinders thus is configured to raise the vehicle.

A portable lifting jack has a drivable mechanism operating a jack shaft formed of telescoping lifting screws. A microprocessor controls power to selectively turn electric motor to drive the operating mechanism. An in-line current draw sensor senses electric load of the motor and communicates this to the microprocessor. One detected electrical load is an electric load spike indicative that the jack shaft has contacted a mechanical load. A potentiometer connected to the operating mechanism senses extended position of the telescoping lifting screws and communicates this position to the microprocessor, which is programmed to derive when snug contact is achieved with an encountered mechanical load and to pause operation of the electric motor. In a synchronized array of jacks, all are paused to await further operator input, which may be coordinated through a remote control.

Method and apparatus for improved height adjustment of wall partitions. According to the present disclosure, an extendable Foot Controlled Elevator Device is placed beneath a wall partition. A user may then apply downward force on a Vertical Height Control to adjust the vertical position of the wall partition. In some embodiments, the Foot Controlled Elevator Device has a compressible base, allowing it to fit into tight areas (e.g., between toilets in a restroom under construction). In other embodiments, one or more Foot Controlled Elevator Devices may be linked, allowing for better control over the wall divider and simultaneous or distinct control of the respective Foot Controlled Elevator Devices.

An integrated vehicle jacking assembly includes a plurality of jacks that is each coupled to a bottom side of a vehicle. Each of the jacks is actuatable into an extended position for lifting a respective driver's side or passenger's side of the vehicle upwardly thereby facilitating tires on the respective driver's side or passenger's side of the vehicle to be removed and replaced. A control unit is positioned within the vehicle and the control unit is operationally coupled to each of the jacks. The control unit actuates one or both of the jacks between the extended position and the retracted position. A plurality of wheel chocks is provided for inhibiting the vehicle from rolling when the vehicle is lifted.
