Methods and systems for supporting and securing a wheel hub

A system for supporting an axled vehicle, comprising:

• a base;
• a first support member extending upwardly from the base, the first support member including first and second surfaces, the first support member having a wheel hub cut-out extending between the first and second surfaces, the wheel hub cut-out configured to receive a portion of a wheel hub therethrough, the first support member including a plurality of lug bolt cut-outs radially spaced around the circular wheel-hub cut-out, the plurality of lug bolt cut-outs configured to receive lug bolts associated with the wheel hub therethrough;
• a second support member coupled to the first support member, wherein the second support member assists in preventing the first support member from bending or collapsing under the weight of a supported vehicle;
• and
• a lug nut protector positioned proximate to at least one of the lug bolt cut-outs,
• wherein the lug nut protector comprises a section of pipe extending from the first surface of the support member and centered around one of the lug bolt cut-outs, the section of pipe being sized to extend beyond a locking lug nut applied to a lug bolt inserted through the lug bolt cut-out.

A system for supporting an axled vehicle, comprising:

• a substantially flat base;
• a support member extending upwardly from the base, the support member including first and second surfaces, the support member having a wheel hub cut-out extending between the first and second surfaces, the wheel hub cut-out configured to receive a portion of a wheel hub therethrough, the support member including a plurality of lug bolt cut-outs radially spaced around the circular wheel-hub cut-out, the plurality of lug bolt cut-outs configured to receive lug bolts associated with the wheel hub therethrough;
• and
• a lug nut protector positioned proximate to at least one of the lug bolt cut-outs,
• wherein the lug nut protector comprises a section of pipe extending from the first surface of the support member and centered around one of the lug bolt cut-outs, the section of pipe being sized to extend beyond a locking lug nut applied to a lug bolt inserted through the lug bolt cut-out.
