Bike lift

<< < (5/5)

Green1:
I have a cheap FoxHunter 1000ib ramp like this one. The only thing I did do was replace the chock for a decent one. So I can just run the bike up the ramp into the chock and let go without fear of the bike falling over.

Iv had everything on it from a Triumph 1200 to a CG125
The mower has been on it for a complete rebuild recently too.

The only problem Iv had was forgetting to lock the wheels once. As I ran up it it shot forward and only stopped when I rammed the tool chest.

Moorey:
Another thing that might be a consideration is how they lift. A scissor action goes straight up and down whereas one that the legs rotate up require more floor space.

Have a look at the position of the rear wheel and the side stand of the bike in Green1s link

Green1:
I never use the side stand as I have a chock like this one bolted too mine.

You can push the bikes in forward or backwards it does take a bit of effort backwards to get it up the ramp
So I get someone to push the nose of the bike and help keep it in a straight line
