Claim 20:
21. A system comprising:
(a) a weight sensor configured to:
(i) receive front wheels of a vehicle; and
(ii) receive rear wheels of the vehicle; and
(iii) produce a set of weight data for the vehicle, the set of weight data comprising a front wheel load and a rear wheel load;

(b) a camera configured to capture image data of the vehicle from a first position; and
(c) a remote lift processor configured to:
(i) receive image data from the camera and identify a front wheel and a rear wheel based on the image data;
(ii) determine a wheelbase measurement between the front wheel and the rear wheel based upon a set of configured spatial characteristics that are associated with the camera at the first position;
(iii) determine a center of gravity dataset for the vehicle based upon the set of weight data and the wheelbase measurement; and
(iv) provide the center of gravity dataset to a local lift processor, wherein the center of gravity dataset is usable by the local lift processor to determine a safe lift position for the vehicle within a lift area associated with the local lift processor.
