A vehicle supported motor lift in which a generally horizontal beam is supported at each end by vertically adjustable legs, and a power operated lift mechanism is mounted on the beam and operates a vertically movable member extending downwardly from the beam for connection with the vehicle motor. A hydraulic cylinder is preferably used to operate the lift mechanism and is normally controlled by a portable hydraulic pump which may be manually operated. The hydraulic cylinder may be mounted parallel and in close proximity to the horizontal beam and a cable with an attachment means on the end thereof is connected to the hydraulic cylinder and extends downwardly from the beam. As an alternative, a vertically movable frame operated by the hydraulic cylinder may be used. The legs are disposed adjacent the two ends of the beam, and are relatively short to permit the motor lift to be readily and conveniently mounted on the vehicle above the engine or in the cab of van type vehicles.
