Best motorcycle lift?

[pdxjim]

Hey dudes.

I'm outfitting my new garage/shop, and shopping hydraulic or pneumatic motorcycle lifts.

I bought a Aplus four-post car lift, and it looks like they make a good motorcycle lift, but it's probably way better than I need.

Anyone got an opinion about motorcycle lifts?

Handy lifts have always been the gold standard. That said, I have been using one of the cheap Harbor Freight lifts for over 20 years.

I also have one of the Harbor Freight lifts.  But I highly recommend upgrading the wheel chock/clamp if you go that route.

I was looking for a lift a while ago, but decided to go with a table instead.  Requires a ramp to get the cycle on it, and a wheel chock at the front, but it was something like $350 delivered.

It's 8' long and 24" wide, 16" high.

It did take some modifications.

Something like this with the lower legs removed to get a lower height -

Me and my mates all have Kendon lifts:

I've had mine for many years now and it has been fantastic. What I really like about it is that you can stand it up vertically when not in use to save space.  It can be hand-cranked or attach an airline to raise it quicker.
They are not cheap but they do come up on the used market from time to time. I got mine used.

im not a fan of lifts. I've used them but for me, I prefer my hoist to lift a front or rear. imho, if you must use a lift, consider adding an overhead hoist as well
