Abstract
There is proposed vehicle storage apparatus, including a lifting jack having spaced apart lifting tines, a dolly being reversibly couplable to the lifting jack in a number of alternate positions, and a centre point device. The centre point device is used for determining the weight distribution along a longitudinal axis of the dolly when a vehicle is located thereon to assist in the suitable attachment of the dolly to lifting tines, to thereby inhibit tipping of the lifting jack when in the raised position or otherwise dislodgement of the vehicle stored thereon.
