A vehicle service cart having a rolling base and a cabinet structure extending, therefrom. The service cart further comprises a plurality of handles operable to serve as wheel-mounts without disrupting rolling functions of the cart. The service cart further comprises a compressed-air tank. The service cart further comprises a specialized work surface atop the cabinet structure, the specialized work surface having specialized recesses to hold particular tools.

A wheel lifting device comprising a base structure with support means for being supported by a ground surface and a lifting frame with at least one wheel support member and a frame leg which extends upwardly at an angle to the ground surface. A link mechanism is connected to the base structure and to the lifting frame and a pivotal manoeuvring lever is connected to the link mechanism for lifting the lifting frame relative to the base structure. The blocking device for locking the manoeuvring lever at any desired pivotal position comprises a weight which is slidable along the frame leg and arranged to intersect the pivotal movement path of the manoeuvring lever and to be brought into frictional engagement with the frame leg when influenced by a force generated by the manoeuvring lever in order to block the lifting frame from downward movement relative to the base structure.

A dolly for supporting a tire of a motorcycle or motor scooter off the ground is provided. The dolly comprises: axially aligned wheels supported by a frame which has a frame part forward of the wheels and a frame part behind the wheels, the forward frame part having an open end being such that the motorcycle or motor scooter tire can locate in the open end, at least one tire gripping member on the forward frame part and adapted to wedge the tire when the forward frame part is lifted and release the tire when the forward frame part is lowered, and a wheel on the frame part behind the wheels.

According to some embodiments, there is provided a wheel storage apparatus comprising a frame having a loading platform, a wheel supporting platform and a handle section. When the wheel storage apparatus is in a first orientation, the loading platform is generally parallel with and at a loading height from a loading surface and configured to cradle a plurality of wheels about a circumferential portion of each wheel. The wheel supporting platform is coupled to a first end of the loading platform and configured to support the wheels in a stacked configuration when the wheel storage apparatus is in a second orientation. The wheel storage apparatus is configured to rotate from the first orientation to the storage orientation about a pivot axis proximate the first end of the loading platform. Kits for wheel storage apparatus are also described.

A trolley for a vehicle wheel with a flat tire and a kit having the same are disclosed. The trolley can include a cradle with a bottom wall, a pair of side walls, a front wheel abutment, a front deck projecting from the abutment, and an open rear end having a pivotable ramp; a pair of rear wheels; and a front wheel assembly coupled to the front deck having a pair of arms, a pair of front wheels, and a brake assembly. The brake assembly can have a pair of brake pads configured to contact the front wheels when in an engaging position. The trolley can include a pair of posts projecting downward from the front deck, and the front wheel assembly can include a tine projecting rearward that contacts the posts when rotated. The kit can include the trolley and straps for coupling the trolley to the vehicle wheel.

A pallet sled includes a base and a plurality of tines extending forward from the base. At least one of the plurality of tines includes a wheel supporting the tine away from the base. A brake assembly is positioned adjacent the wheel to selectively brake the wheel. The brake assembly may include a drum adjacent the wheel. Alternatively, the brake assembly may include a brake shoe selectively directly contacting the wheel to brake the sled.

A vehicle cart assembly includes a cart that has a panel and a plurality of rollers rotatably disposed on the panel. A ramp is hingedly attached to the panel to facilitate a tire of a vehicle to roll onto the cart. A first pressure sensor is integrated into the ramp which is engaged by the tire of the vehicle when the tire of the vehicle rolls onto the ramp. A second pressure sensor is integrated into the panel to be engaged by the tire of the vehicle when the tire of the vehicle rolls onto the panel. A visual alert is removably attached to the panel which is turned on when the first pressure sensor is engaged to alert a driver that the tire of the vehicle has begun rolling onto the ramp. The visual alert is turned off when the second pressure sensor is engaged to alert the driver that the tire has rolled onto the panel thereby alerting the driver to stop the vehicle.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for facilitating assembly and/or dis-assembly of a vehicle brake assembly, the apparatus being configured to be positionable relative to the brake assembly and movable away from the vehicle and further being configurable to support and hold a selected part of the vehicle brake assembly for facilitating removal and installation thereof, and wherein the apparatus comprises a positioning assembly configured to controllably move the selected held part of the brake assembly relative to a base of the apparatus, and the positioning assembly is further configured to raise and lower the held selected part between a lowered position where the selected part is in contact with or on the ground and a raised position where the selected part and adaptor assembly is transportable by the apparatus to or from the vehicle.

A dolly for supporting a tyre of a motorcycle or motor scooter off the ground is provided. The dolly comprises: axially aligned wheels supported by a frame which has a frame part forward of the wheels and a frame part behind the wheels, the forward frame part having an open end being such that the motorcycle or motor scooter tyre can locate in the open end, at least one tyre gripping member on the forward frame part and adapted to wedge the tyre when the forward frame part is lifted and release the tyre when the forward frame part is lowered, and a wheel on the frame part behind the wheels.
