Vehicle lift apparatus and method

A vehicle lift assembly, comprising:

• an input shaft;
• a first ball screw coupled to rotate with the input shaft;
• a ball screw nut coupled to a first bracket and configured to selectively move a lifting member based on rotation of the first ball screw, the first bracket coupled to a first ball bearing nut such that rotary motion of the first ball screw moves the first bracket to raise or lower a first support;
• and
• a power unit coupled to the input shaft, the power unit having a wireless transponder and configured to be selectively powered based on wireless signals received by the transponder from a remote device;
• and
• an anti-reversing locking mechanism comprising a clutch that selectively prevents the lifting member from lowering unless a torque is input through the input shaft
• a first gear box configured to transfer rotary motion from the input shaft to a first output coupled to the first ball screw and a second output coupled to a second ball screw;
• a first lift base and a second lift base each having slots defined longitudinally along inner walls;
• and
• a second bracket coupled to a second ball bearing nut such that rotary motion of the second ball screw moves the second bracket to raise or lower a second support.
