Abstract

A vehicle jack is disclosed having a base and a lifting platform which is connected to the base by pivotally connecting legs. The lifting platform has a pair of spaced-apart side members and a cross beam member extending between and connected to the side members. A hydraulic jack component is mounted to the base and has a lifting member pivotally connected to the lifting platform by a link which is pivotally connected to the cross beam member of the platform. The platform is disposed for movement between a low profile state and an elevated protracted state. A motorcycle is intended to be positioned over the platform when in its low profile state and is raised by movement of the platform to its elevated protracted state upon activation of the hydraulic jack component.
