Motorising bike platform lift action
Rozabikes Tim:
Thanks chaps. Looks like the compressed air route is the most cost effective way having googled things. I searched for an electric motorisation option before and not much came up.
Loads with air / hydraulic jack based conversions. All pretty similar and straight forward it seems.
Did note a couple said spec on what were automotive jacks said only to use them upright but they said no issues. One guy topped up hydraulic fluid when jack on its side as it would be when fitted to lift.
Can't see me doing this very soon but not frightening engineering involved.
Thanks again for the input.

I guess you have looked at one like this - an expensive but safe option.

This one is a tad cheaper especially if you can claim back the VAT.

Thanks Ted. Lesser ouch - I'm a tight git too!! I actually quite fancy the fabrication challenge.
