A wheel support is provided for use with a motorcycle stand. The wheel support includes a pair of side plates, each of which has a first side end and a second side end distal thereto. At least one of the side plates has a curved end about the first side end to secure onto a portion of the motorcycle stand. The wheel support includes a top plate secured between the pair of side plates and an adjustable height mechanism configured to adjust the height of the second end of the side plates and thus adjust the height of the top plate about the second end. The top plate when moved under the wheel of the motorcycle is movable to engage and lift the wheel of the motorcycle into and out of engagement with the motorcycle. |

A cart is disclosed having a rigid base with a plurality of cutouts, bottom and top sides, and at least one peripheral edge. The bottom side has at least one removable, lockable caster at each bottom side corner. The cart has a rigid cradle with bottom, back, and top sides, and at least one peripheral edge. The opposing sides of the top side have horizontal rollers mounted on flanges. The cradle has a handle, tool hooks, a lug nut tray, and a wheel retainer. An actuating lift coupled between and centered on the base top and cradle bottom is movable between a lowered position and a raised position. The base has an elevated portion and is switchable between raised and lowered configurations, setting the cradle's maximum height, by removing the casters and decoupling the lift from the base; flipping over the base; reattaching the casters; and recoupling the lift. |

A camber adjustment apparatus is provided for alignment of a vehicle wheel. The camber adjustment apparatus includes: a plate member configured to be bolted to the vehicle wheel; an adjuster plate member coupled to a bottom surface of the plate member and comprising a first end and a second end; an adjuster bolt coupled to the first end and the second end of the adjuster plate member; and an adjusting body movably coupled to the adjuster bolt and at least partially disposed between the first end and the second end of the adjuster plate member. The adjusting body is configured so that rotation of the adjuster bolt moves the adjusting body between the first end and the second end of the adjuster plate member such that the plate member is adjusted to a predetermined camber. |

A tire inflation cage includes a plurality of retention members that include spaced, substantially vertical upstanding members. The upstanding members are attached at their ends to a base and at a point along their outer surface to support members that extend at a substantially right angle from the base. The spaced retention members allow a tire assembly to be received therein and to be retained between a pair of tire stops for servicing of the tire. The substantially perpendicularly extending support members serve to increase the shear strength of the attachment of retention members to the base, thus preventing the retention member from separating from the base in the event that the tire assembly separates as it is being serviced in the inflation cage. |

A tire manipulation system for efficiently manipulating the position of a tire. The tire manipulation system generally includes a mounting device for removable attachment to a tractor, a telescoping main support structure attached to the mounting device, a main actuator connected to the main support structure, a pivot axle rotatably connected to the main support structure, a support frame connected to the pivot axle, and a pair of telescoping supports each having an actuator and a gripping member for engaging a tire to be manipulated. The gripping members first engage the perimeter of a tire to be manipulated and then using the loader system of the tractor the user is able to manipulate the attitude of the tire. |

The tire-handling device (10) is a compact, lightweight tool for carriage within a motor vehicle trunk or storage compartment to facilitate handling of a tire (T) during a tire change or similar operation. The device includes a tire support cradle (30) supported by opposed vertically adjustable handles (32). The handles (32) and cradle (30) therebetween may be adjusted to position the cradle (30) beneath a tire (T) on a raised axle during a tire change, or for aligning a fresh tire with the wheel mounting studs of the wheel hub. Two mutually opposed tire support belt rollers are disposed within the cradle (30). A tire support belt extends between the rollers, allowing a tire (T) resting thereon to be rotated for alignment with the mounting studs of the vehicle wheel hub. |

A wheel handling apparatus includes a wheel engaging arrangement for holding a wheel assembly that is to be removed from a vehicle. The wheel engaging arrangement includes a first and a second wheel support arm, each of which is curved to follow the circumference of the wheel assembly to define a cradle in which the wheel assembly can rest as it is removed from the vehicle. The wheel handling apparatus further includes a wheel pivoting arrangement whereby the wheel engaging arrangement can be moved between a first orientation and a second orientation thus causing the wheel assembly held by the wheel engaging arrangement to be moved between a first and second orientation. |
