A universal pinch weld protective adapter is used with automotive floor jacks and inground hydraulic lifts to safely raise unibody vehicles. The invention protects a unibody vehicle's pinch weld from damage when lifted using the invention. The invention is formed by welding pieces of steel square tubing to create a single embodiment. A protective layer of PVC covers the top of the embodiment and the beveled slot. A layer of nonskid rubber protects the surface of the lifting device that the invention is placed on and the bottom of the invention. The invention's beveled slot design makes it self-centering. The use of steel square tubing creates an invention specifically designed for heavy-duty use with lifting devices used to lift unibody vehicles.
