A generally horizontal vehicle supporting rack is provided for support from a floor surface and includes depending support means intermediate its opposite ends for support from the support surface and mounting the rack for oscillatory movement between a horizontal position and an inclined position with one end of the rack swung downwardly toward the floor surface. The rack is yieldingly biased toward the horizontal position and includes fixed leg structure positively limiting movement of the rack from the inclined position to the horizontal position. Further, an elongated pull tower base having a pull tower pivotally mounted from one end thereof for angular displacement about a vertical axis is provided and includes opposite end portion floor engageable support wheels. The other end portion of the base is lengthwise displaceable laterally beneath one marginal portion of the platform and the base is rockable over the support wheels adjacent the one end thereof to elevate the other end portion for releasable locking in position relative to and beneath the rack marginal portion. Further, a vehicle chassis support stand is mounted from the inner end of an elongated base disposed transverse to and releasably secured to the rack marginal portion and the elongated base is pivotable about the outer end for swinging movement of the base inner end and the support stand toward the outer edge of the rack marginal portion.

In combination with a generally horizontal support surface, a vehicle repair rack including an elongated generally horizontal platform having opposite first and second ends and defining side longitudinally extending treadway marginal portions for receiving and supporting a wheeled vehicle thereon, mounting means mounting said platform from and in elevated position relative to said support surface for oscillation of said platform relative to said support surface about a horizontal axis disposed transverse to the longitudinal mid-portion of said platform and for back and forth swinging of said platform between a first substantially horizontal position and a second inclined position with said first and second ends of said platform lowered and abutted against and raised relative to said support surface, spring means operatively associated with said platform and support surface yieldingly biasing said platform toward said second inclined position, said support surface and platform including first coacting means defining a positive limit of movement of said platform from said second position toward said first horizontal position and second coacting means defining a positive limit of movement of said platform from said first position toward said second inclined position, said platform when in said second inclined position, being disposed with said first end abutting said support surface for movement of a wheeled vehicle along said surface, toward and up onto said first end and thereafter upwardly along said platform toward the second end until passing an “over center”position relative to said axis such that the over center loading of said platform by said vehicle will swing said platform from said second position to said first position.
