This is my lift.... It makes getting older, easier

 

[blowerbike]

that's a handy lift...lol
these are around a grand now a days.
when i was buying them dealer price was a little over 500.00 with freight.
not fun to load in a truck and move around...but the best lift made IMO.

 

[GateKeeper]

I have this

and this worked well, while in the house, and before the wheels went on....

now I just use the center stand.....



I wish I had a proper lift......:frown-new:

Here's my simple stand.

I made this a couple years ago. 30 inches wide, about 9 feet long. Easy to get a bike on and raises 38 inches. Heavy square tubing and 3/4 inch bolts at the pivot points. I've had a trike on and climbed on it as well working on the trike. It is so strong it resists paint!!

Basic same lifting principle I used on mine. Got a good laugh out of the "resists paint".

Not quite done yet. But I am chuffed.

I have been wanting a lift for some time.

I started with chuck hahn's design and built it up with some recommendations from the responses to his posting.

Thanks Chuck.

Today I have to put finishing touches to it. Screw the top in place, make pin-locks for two of the legs, etc.

The pics make it look sleek but closeup it's very medieval.



So far 3 days work. $260 in lumber. When finished it will be 8'L?39"W?28"H. Capacity unknown. It will lift the lawn tractor and snowblower before I commit the GK to it.

The cylinder I got from my engine hoist as it was not busy right now. The ramps I will use are free. They were left in the shed by the previous owner of the house.

Where's the other 200$ in lumber? Seriously, the lumber in the pic cost 260$?
It does look well made in any case,nicely done.

With all the lumber in Canada you think it would be cheap,it ain't

Highway..The 75 Goldwing is at roughly 565 LBS if i recall correctly and mine never even sneezed at that weight. I am so confident in i that I wouldnt hsitate to out any bike out there on it...and yup even a big pig Harley would be safe there.

Where did you get that belly pan from!!!??

trusted old paddock stands for me, and a nice warm living room!

Here is my humble work platforms.
The main stand is "the old Hospital bed" with a couple of cross braces and a sheet of ply. Works very well, just have to find a wheel clamp to fit.
The other is "The old Plastic Crate" with custom made hardwood top, most of which came from an old neighbors cattle yard railing.
They maybe at the budget end but both work very well.

I finally got my table to where I was comfortable putting the Litre up on it. It's been a few months in the building. I had to take 4-1 exhaust off to get it on, and I just pushed up & on by myself... A bit scary. I think I will be "tweaking" & messing with it for a while.
But at least some work can get done on the 1000 now (and my wife can park in her spot in the garage now too).

I use a Danmar 4 post auto lift that I added a removable wheel chock.







I know it's overkill but I use the lift for my cars and my sons cars more than bikes...
