Hi guys

Anybody know of a good, reasonably priced motorcycle lift/table. Ideally i need one that enables access/clearance to the front and rear wheels and is able to be moved with the bike on.

I've often been tempted by this:

Not THAT cheap, but not too bad considering other stuff out there.

Check out SAL Easylifts www.easylifts.com or 01697349295.
I bought the smaller of the two they do £290 delivered, handled my Laverda triple easy and that weighed well over 500lb. I've seen nowhere else any cheaper.

How about an engine hoist? You can get a wheeled 1 ton hoist for about £125 delivered. I haven't used one on a bike though, so I don't know if the weight distribution will be a problem compared to lifting an engine.

Would they be hard to make?

Pretty sure there's free plans out there to make bike tables, including hydraulic ones. However, if you have to buy the metal in, etc - I can see it ending up being a similar price.

Thanks guys

G, that lift looks tempting but what about oil draining and stuff how do you get to the bottom of the engine?

That looks alright. Been half thinking of a lift of some sort for a while but space is an issue and that look nice and compact.

Depends on the engine re oil draining I expect - but I'd have thought it'd be fine with the wheel hoops. Most engines tend to have their drain plug a little off set anyway.
