Abstract
A lift apparatus comprising a lift adapter suitable to engage and support a variety of vehicle components. The lift adapter comprises a number of support arms, each of the support arms being rotationally adjustable with respect to a support body of the lift adapter. A number of bracket assemblies mount interface adapters to the support arms, the interface adapters engaging and securing the vehicle component during an active lift service. The lift adapter may utilize a single type of interface adapter or a mixture of types of interface adapters to engage and secure a variety of vehicle components. The lift adapter may be detached from an associated lift to maximize flexibility in operation of the lift and lift adapter, while also maximizing compatibility with a variety of components.
