Abstract

A vehicle lift system includes a vehicle including an ignition system to turn the vehicle on or off. A plurality of jack assemblies is attached to the vehicle and each is positionable in an extended position abutting a ground surface and lifting the vehicle off the ground surface or in a stored position is spaced from the ground surface. A cutoff switch is mounted on the vehicle and is engaged by at least one of the plurality of jack assemblies when the jack assemblies are in the stored position and disengaged when the jack assemblies are in the extended position. The ignition system is disabled when the cutoff switch is disengaged and is actuatable when the cutoff switch is engaged.

Claims

1. A vehicle lift system comprising:

a vehicle, said vehicle including an ignition system to turn said vehicle on or off;

a plurality of jack assemblies being attached to said vehicle, each of said jack assemblies being positionable in an extended position abutting a ground surface and lifting said vehicle off said ground surface, said jack assemblies being positionable in a stored position being spaced from said ground surface; and

a cutoff switch being mounted on said vehicle, said cutoff switch being engaged by at least one of said plurality of jack assemblies when said jack assemblies are in said stored position and disengaged when said jack assemblies are in said extended position, said ignition system being disabled when said cutoff switch is disengaged, said ignition system being actuatable when said cutoff switch is engaged.

2. The vehicle lift system according to claim 1, further including an actuator being electrically coupled to said jack assemblies, said actuator being actuated to move said jack assemblies between said extended and said stored positions, said actuator being mounted within said vehicle, said actuator including an electronic code input.

3. The vehicle lift system according to claim 2, wherein said actuator includes a plurality of keys, said actuator being programmed to require a correct order of actuation of said keys to actuate said jack assemblies.

4. A vehicle lift system comprising:

a vehicle, said vehicle including an ignition system to turn said vehicle on or off;

a plurality of jack assemblies being attached to said vehicle, each of said jack assemblies being positionable in an extended position abutting a ground surface and lifting said vehicle off said ground surface, said jack assemblies being positionable in a stored position being spaced from said ground surface; and

an actuator being electrically coupled to said jack assemblies, said actuator being actuated to move said jack assemblies between said extended and said stored positions, said actuator being mounted within said vehicle, said actuator including an electronic code input.

5. The vehicle lift system according to claim 4, wherein said actuator includes a plurality keys, said actuator being programmed to require a correct order of actuation of said keys to actuate said jack assemblies.

6. A vehicle lift system comprising:

a vehicle, said vehicle including an ignition system to turn said vehicle on or off;

a plurality of jack assemblies being attached to said vehicle, each of said jack assemblies being positionable in an extended position abutting a ground surface and lifting said vehicle off said ground surface, said jack assemblies being positionable in a stored position being spaced from said ground surface, each of said jack assemblies including;

a rod being movable upwardly or downwardly with respect to said vehicle;

a motor being engaged said rod, said motor being electrically coupled to a power system of said vehicle;

a cutoff switch being mounted on said vehicle, said cutoff switch being engaged by said plurality of jack assemblies when said jack assemblies are in said stored position and disengaged when said jack assemblies are in said extended position, said ignition system being disabled when said cutoff switch is disengaged, said ignition system being actuatable when said cutoff switch is engaged; and

an actuator being electrically coupled to said jack assemblies, said actuator being actuated to move said jack assemblies between said extended and said stored positions, said actuator being mounted within said vehicle, said actuator including an electronic code input, said actuator including a plurality of keys, said actuator being programmed to require a correct order of actuation of said keys to actuate said jack assemblies.
