A support assembly comprises a bracket, a blocking member, and a spring. The blocking member is adapted to slidingly move within a through opening of a support member. The blocking member is adapted to be selectively moved from a supporting position to a non-supporting position. The spring is adapted to bias the blocking member towards the non-supporting position. In certain embodiments, the bracket is adapted to retain the blocking member at least partially within the through opening when the bracket is mounted to a hoist. In certain embodiments, the blocking member comprises a handle comprising a pin axially aligned within a compression spring and the bracket comprises a notch adapted to receive the handle.

An adapter assembly for lifting a vehicle includes an adapter defining a first pin aperture, a second pin aperture, and an adapter aperture, a first pin, a second pin, and a cross member removably received by the adapter aperture. The first pin is configured to be removably received by the first pin aperture and a first aperture defined by a frame of the vehicle to selectively couple the adapter to the frame. The second pin is configured to be removably received by the second pin aperture and a second aperture defined by the frame of the vehicle to selectively couple the adapter to the frame.

The present invention relates generally to a DEF tank hydraulic jack adapter plate. The adapter can be fixedly or removably attached to the top surface of an existing hydraulic jack such that the jack can be used to remove or replace a DEF tank from a diesel vehicle. Accordingly, the adapter secures a tank to the plate body of the adapter via a plurality of frame arms which attach to the vertical plates of the plate body. The adapter ensures the tank is retained upon the adapter and subsequently on the jack.
