Abstract
Automotive maintenance involving tire removal from automobiles is made more convenient and safer by a tire-hanging device. The tire-hanging device attaches to the automotive hoist. The tire-hanging device provides a place for the tire to be located while it is removed from the vehicle. The tire is maintained at a comfortable work height relative to the workspace and prevents the worker from having to repeatedly bend over and lift a relatively heavy weight from the ground to the work height.
