So this is the 2nd one of these lift-stand we've purchased, The first one worked so ... So this is the 2nd one of these lift-stand we've purchased, The first one worked so well we decided to get a second to lift and support bikes at both ends independently when needed (for example, when removing one or both wheels you need to balance and/or add a 2nd support so the bike doesn't pitch up-down). Purchases have been from 2 separate eBay sellers.
Surprisingly good for around $50+.
They come assembled, except for the cradle-support pieces, which are easy to install. Works great on dirt, dual sport, and adventure bikes (mid-weights about 500+ lbs). We would probably use 2 lift-stands for big heavyweights -- large cruisers and the like,
Don't know how the manufacturer assigns the 1,100-pound rating, but there are much less heavy-duty scissor jacks that come with cars/SUVs, -- loads well over 1,100 lbs.
Preparation: You'll want to grease the acme drive screw and nut thoroughly, and also the thrust ball-bearing at the drive-end, its bearing race, and the other thrust washers before use. The manufacturer applies only a thin layer of oil, but no grease.
Lifting: You can use the included T-tool wrench, or use your own socket+crank arrangement to drive the acme screw. However, I like to use a 7/8" socket (22mm) with a cordless drill-driver to raise and lower the lift. This makes for the ideal power-jack setup; fast and easy lifting in a matter of seconds. Note again, make sure everything is greased well.
Adjustment and versatility: There's lots! The unit's platform is plenty large to support about any motorcycle. It can be used with or without the two cradle support pieces. Without the cradles, use use a slab of rubber or piece of thin plywood on the platform.
The two cradle supports that come with the unit are independently height-adjustable, can be spread and spaced apart any distance along the platform, and can be rotated independently for cross-tube or longitudinal-tube frame designs. Very versatile and adjustable in this regard.
For example, I have an old Honda SL350 with two longitudinal frame tubes beneath either side of the engine, which are at different heights by about 1/2" or so. This lift-stand works great for this situation because each cradle support adjusts independently.
What they don' tell you: When lifting-supporting, it's best to keep the bike's weight positioned over the driven-end of the platform, where the scissor bars are fixed-hinged. As the lift raises, the width of the scissor mechanism becomes narrower and narrower, so it retracts from one end of the platform. This leaves the far end of the platform less supported, sort of cantilevered, which you may want to avoid, especially for heavy loads.
Value: Considering that just a basic, simple motorcycle stand costs over $50 these days, this unit is a bargain and it works really well.
You have to use common sense in the way it's position and used (and prep'd/lubed out-of-the-box), but that generally applies to any tool in the shop. Those who've complained about unstable and questionable support with this lift-stand maybe aren't applying proper common sense, good judgement or caution in setup and use. Again, for really hefty bikes, it's best to use two supports.
Durability: I'm not sure how long these lift-stand will actually last, but if they're regularly lubed and and inspected, they'll probably last a long time.
Hope this helps!
