A hydraulic floor jack with an integrated support is disclosed. The floor jack can be used with the floor jack oriented in any orientation relative to the orientation of a vehicle to be raised. The support remains suspended above the ground allowing the floor jack to roll along the ground while the vehicle is being raised. The support is then biased firmly on the ground, under weight of the vehicle, while the vehicle is suspended. A method of use of a hydraulic floor jack is also disclosed.

An modular lift system for hoisting objects along a track to a predetermined height. The lift system may include a limit switch, a carriage with an automatic emergency braking system, and a peak to engage the track, whereby the carriage rolls along the side rails of the track between the peak mounted to the top of the track and the bottom of the track. The carriage can be adjustable thereby permitting it to be adapted to various types and sizes of tracks. The automatic emergency braking system is adapted to prevent the uncontrolled descent of the carriage in the event of a cable or primary brake failure.

A wheel dolly capable of lifting the wheel of a vehicle in response to the cycling of an actuation lever is described. The wheel dolly allows a user to select an operational mode wherein the starting height of the actuation lever is reduced. With the lower starting height, a user may be able to actuate the wheel dolly with less force and may find using the wheel dolly more comfortable
