Integrated vehicle jacking assembly
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.
Hitch
Hitches are disclosed relating to towing that include a sleeve, a receiver stem, a post and a coupler. The post may slide within the channel allowing the hitch to be adjustable. The coupler may be a socket configured to receive a ball. The post and the coupler may be in alignment. The described hitches may be useful for the towing of vehicles having a receiver tube.
Jack stand with gearing adjustment
A jack stand having a rack-and-pinion gearing mechanism to extend a support member. The jack stand further comprises a latching mechanism suitable to provide a static force operable to sustain elevation of a vehicle. The jack stand further comprises a number of sleeves configured to receive a detachable handle operable to utilize the functions of the jack stand from a distance away from the underside of the vehicle.

Swivel leveler with spacer
The invention comprises a seating plate including a concentric swivel leveler to be used for leveling a trailer on an uneven ground surface by inserting a connected trailer jack into the swivel and establishing a stationary position wherein the trailer is substantially level. In certain embodiments, a spacer is also provided with a receiving well for the swivel such that a height of the seating plate above the ground surface is increased such that the trailer jack need not be extended as far as it would but for the spacer. A spacer may be of durable material and includes reinforcing support members help support large loads. In certain embodiments, the swivel may be fastened to the spacer using nuts, bolts and the like so the swivel may swivel about the receiving well while the seating plate maintains a height above the space top to allow for the swiveling action.

Retractable Small-Engine-Machine Lifter for Mobile Repairs
The present disclosure provides a design for a retractable lifter that fits inside an existing vehicles' interior space for on-the-spot, small engine machine repairs (such as lawn mowers and snow blowers etc.). The retractable lifter comprises: a lifter platform that rotates along a pivot segment. The lifter platform has an adjustable wheel connector for vehicle track width adjustment and a plurality of pivotable trays for securing a machine's wheels. An arm assembly simultaneously expands and retracts and raises and lowers machines on the lifter platform using a remote-controlled, hydraulic system with two hydraulic cylinders. A support column moves the lifter platform outward, and the arm assembly extends downward to load a machine onto the platform. The lifter platform raises a machine to a desired height for repairs. An object of the lifter platform is to provide: improved convenience; speedy on-spot repairs; preserve space inside a vehicle; and increase adaptability to various different machines in less-than-ideal environments.
