Zusammenfassung:A system and method for raising and lowering a vehicle. The system includes a four-bar linkage provided for each wheel. The four-bar linkage includes a first three linkage assembly and a second three linkages assembly. The first three linkage assembly maintains the orientation of the vehicle relative to the wheel during the lifting and lowering while the second linkage assembly provides the power to lift and lower the vehicle. Power provided by a hydraulic cylinder is pivotably coupled to the second linkage assembly. A steering assembly is provided between the four-bar linkage assembly and the wheel. The four-bar linkage vehicle lifting assembly may be provided on agricultural vehicles, construction vehicles, or any desired vehicle.
