Abstract: The main objective of this article is to analyse the structural design of tire lifting equipment for tire services. To gain a better insight into the problem, several steps must be taken. The first step is to conduct a market analysis, which involves identifying all available equipment. Several types of lifting devices were distinguished within the development process, which differ from each other in terms of design and power supply. The type of structure and power unit represent the second steps in the design process. This is a critical aspect of the design since the forces necessary to move the system change as a result of these attributes. The design itself is the last step in the device’s design. Passenger cars differ from each other by their weight, which is limited to 3.5 tons. Based on the weight, basic strength calculation and dimensioning of the lifting device are carried out. Based on the calculations, the scissor lift device is selected. The lower frame, scissor legs, ramp, mechanical lock, and scissors drive mechanism are five main components of the device. This type of structure is best used with a hydraulic drive unit, which is calculated in the article.
