The invention concerns a lifting-rotating device for picking up a motor vehicle (14), in particular a passenger car, with a parallelogrammatic extension arm (11) which is articulated on a pillar (10) or a frame so as to pivot about the horizontal and at whose free end an extension arm tip (12) is articulated such that, when the parallelogrammatic extension arm (11) performs pivot movements about a horizontal, the tip (12) retains its set angle of inclination relative to the horizontal. The device further comprises a clamping unit (13) which is disposed at the free end of the extension arm tip (12) and is articulated on the latter so as to be rotatable about the horizontal relative to the extension arm tip (12).
