formariz 11,995 #1 Posted December 22, 2014 I am thinking of getting myself a Christmas present. Harbor Freight's 1000Lb motorcycle lift. Does anyone own one and has any input on it? Any advise greatly apreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
limited12 360 #2 Posted December 22, 2014 I purchased one two years ago, I made a frame out of 2x12 to make it wider for my wheel horse, install some carriage bolts to hole it down with, works great and when I need to put my motorcycle on it take out four bolts and remove the 2x12's 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 42,892 #3 Posted December 22, 2014 How much does that lift weigh and how easy is it to move around? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
formariz 11,995 #4 Posted December 22, 2014 Its over 330Lbs. With the exception of straight back and forth probably not easy to move. it has small casters. I was also thinking what to do to make it a little wider for the tractors. At about 27" it will fit a round hood but backwheels are about half of their width overhanging. An additional 6" on each side would be ideal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
limited12 360 #5 Posted December 23, 2014 It is not that bad to move around with no load, and easier than I thought with something sitting on it, my concrete floor does have a rough broom finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

formariz 11,995 #7 Posted December 24, 2014 Looking again at catalogue, just realized they have another model identical, but specified as a motorcycle/ATV lift for the same price. This one however is 6" wider , its longer, and lifts 4" higher. Perfect for the tractors. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
