Systems, methods and apparatus for automated vehicle wheel removal and replacement are provided. One system includes a computer system with applications for scheduling the replacement of tires for the vehicle. An electronically controlled lift device and robotic apparatus is configured for interaction with the computer system. The lift device mechanically adjusts arms for placement on lift points of vehicles. The robotic apparatus detects positioning of lug nut configuration for a wheel, removes lug nuts, and then removes the wheel from the wheel hub with gripping arms. The wheel and tire are then handed off to a separate tire changing machine. When a new tire is replaced the robotic apparatus then mounts the wheel to the original wheel hub, and then secures the lug nuts to the lug nut bolts.

Lifting equipment for repairing post-collision, damaged or under maintenance vehicles includes a central lifter having an upper platform/framework. Supports for lifting by the vehicle wheels are applied on side profiles of the upper platform/framework, or, alternatively, different supports for lifting by the vehicle underbody/underchassis using rubber pads. The supports for lifting by the wheels and by the underbody/underchassis are the same used to lift the vehicle directly by the wheels or alternatively by the underbody/underchassis, using a combination of high, low, or similar elements for support by the underbody/underchassis, between the supports for lifting by the wheels and by the underbody/underchassis and the underbody/underchassis of the vehicle, being the same supports for lifting by the wheels and by the underbody/underchassis applied in a removable/movable way to the upper platform/framework and movable by the operator along sides of the upper platform/framework and equipped with a device for adjusting their inclination.

The present disclosure provides a multipurpose tailgate (MPT) that has a load lifter for repairing small engine machines or tools like tractors, lawnmowers, and light utility vehicles at a client's location. The MPT comprises: a rear vehicle door that serves as a ramp and load support platform. The MPT raises a machine to a desired height for repairs with the aid of two hydraulic cylinders, a plurality of different shaped trays with wheel locking holes for securing a machine's wheels. The trays can be extended at different lengths and distances apart. The MPT can provide improved convenience for on-spot repairs, increased space utilization, increased safety and security for holding a machine on the MPT, increased functionality for the MPT to accommodate a wide selection of small engine machines in different repairing positions, service requirements, and increased adaptability to aversive environments.
