Abstract
A system and method for lifting a vehicle using compressed air is disclosed herein. The system includes a set of inflatable devices movable into an inflated position to lift the vehicle and an air-line assembly connectable to a compressed air supply and to the set of the inflatable devices to move the set of inflatable devices into the inflated position. The inflatable devices may have an airbag and an articulated frame that operates to support a lifted vehicle. The frame provides rigidity to the inflatable device and, when engaged in its extended position, prevents collapse if the airbag is deflated.
