Abstract
A device for lifting a wheel and rolling the wheel on a surface includes an elongated rigid plate having a top side, a bottom side, a peripheral edge, a pedal portion at a rear end of the rigid plate, and a wheel portion at a forward end of the rigid plate. A ground roller is fixed with the bottom side of the rigid plate and at least two wheel rollers are fixed with a top side of the wheel portion. In use, with the wheel resting on the wheel rollers, the pedal portion may be pressed downwardly to pivot the rigid plate about the roller to lift the wheel. The lifting device is then rolled on the surface to place the wheel at a desired position, and rotated until obtaining a desired rotational orientation.

A lifting device for lifting a wheel and rolling the wheel on a surface, comprising:
- an elongated rigid plate having a top side, a bottom side, at least one peripheral edge, a pedal portion at a rear end thereof, and a wheel portion at a forward end thereof;
- at least one ground roller fixed with the bottom side of the elongated rigid plate proximate the wheel portion, each at least one ground roller having two opposing ends and a ground roller rotational axis;
- at least two wheel rollers fixed with the wheel portion of the elongated rigid plate, each wheel roller having a rotational axis mutually parallel with each other wheel roller and orthogonal to the ground roller rotational axis;
- whereby with the wheel resting on the at least two wheel rollers of the wheel portion of the elongated rigid plate, the pedal portion may be pressed downwardly to pivot the elongated rigid plate about the ground roller to lift the wheel, the lifting device then rollable on the surface to place the wheel at a desired position, the wheel rotatable on the at least two wheel rollers to place the wheel at a desired rotational position.
