A calibration system comprising:
- a chassis of a mobile support platform, wherein the mobile support platform is operable to be redeployed in different locations;
- a set of wheels mounted to the chassis;
- a plurality of lift posts on the chassis configured to interface with a plurality of lift points on a vehicle;
- and
- a controller configured to perform operations comprising:
- raising the vehicle by raising the plurality of lift posts on the chassis to engage the plurality of lift points of the vehicle;
- performing a calibration sequence by operating the set of wheels;
- and
- controlling a roll of the vehicle during the calibration sequence by the plurality of lift posts.
