The present disclosure provides a design for a retractable lifter that fits inside an existing vehicles' interior space for on-the-spot, small engine machine repairs (such as lawn mowers and snow blowers etc.). The retractable lifter comprises: a lifter platform that rotates along a pivot segment. The lifter platform has an adjustable wheel connector for vehicle track width adjustment and a plurality of pivotable trays for securing a machine's wheels. An arm assembly simultaneously expands and retracts and raises and lowers machines on the lifter platform using a remote-controlled, hydraulic system with two hydraulic cylinders. A support column moves the lifter platform outward, and the arm assembly extends downward to load a machine onto the platform. The lifter platform raises a machine to a desired height for repairs. An object of the lifter platform is to provide: improved convenience; speedy on-spot repairs; preserve space inside a vehicle; and increase adaptability to various different machines in less-than-ideal environments.
