Jack with floating platform
A pneumatic jack includes at least a base platform and a top platform. The base platform is configured to be supported by a plurality of pneumatic jets. The pneumatic jets are configured to raise and lower the base platform and endow the apparatus with the ability to hover. An air bladder, with internal baffling, is positioned between a middle platform and the top platform. As the air bladder is inflated, the top platform rises relative to the other platforms.

INFLATABLE LIFT DEVICE
An inflatable lift system for a vehicle includes N bladders arranged vertically in a stack, where N is an integer greater than two. N pressure sensors are configured to sense pressure in the N bladders, respectively. A compressor is configured to supply pressurized gas. N valves are configured to selectively connect and disconnect the N bladders to the compressor. A controller is configured to control the N valves to inflate the N bladders sequentially in a first predetermined order and to deflate the N bladders sequentially in reverse.

Vehicle leveling device and method
A vehicle leveling device for ensuring that a vehicle is level for calibration of sensors that are installed on the vehicle is presented. A lifting jack is placed under each of the vehicle's wheels and a mounting clamp is mounted to each wheel. Each mounting clamp has a sizing frame having two ends, a clamping member slidably mounted upon each end of the sizing frame and a pair of pivotally mounted engagement hooks. A support member mounted central to the sizing frame that supports an indicator that allows a level reading to be taken. The lifting jacks may be actuated under each of the vehicle's wheels as needed the ever level indicator reads the same indicating that each wheel is coplanar and the vehicle is level.
