Thoughts on T7 motorcycle lift?

$600 with free shipping?

How shitty is it likely to be really?....

That looks like the best deal I've seen so far. I've been casually looking at these for a while.

Ultimately though, you're not going to know until you've got your bike up on it. As in: does it wobble around when in position, loaded? Etc.

Wonder if you can view them? A test lift would be the ultimate I guess.

Keep us posted if you take the plunge.

i had one and it would've been ok for farm bikes but the rear wheel is not on solid bench so you can't easily take the front off. best try for another model
does alistair kermode down your way still deal in them?

Dunno at all - but these guys are customers of mine and it looks like a good thing for the $ if your bike fits.

They do sell into NZ.

I was looking at a similar one at lunchtime and it said " suitable for a Harley" on it.

1800 deck length is too short for road bikes I reckon.

Ive got a few of there stands and track side stands for my trail bike including a lift. The one that goes on the bash guard. All work well for what they are designed for.

I've got a pneumatic Italian one I have had for years and its 1600 long excluding the ramp. For bikes with a centre stand its perfect as you can drop off the rear wheel as its just over the edge ( front wheel is clamped)
For bikes with no centre stand you have to cobble up some supports, difficult on bikes with lower fairings.


I'd like a lighter one with wheels , but after looking at the one yesterday might just get some wheels welded on.
I would not be without one as they make working on bikes so much easier.

the reason I want one is the last time I put my back out it was grovelling on the ground under a motorbike. I hate to admit it, but I am too old for that shit.

You won't go back, but if you have the room a low bench with a ramp is just peachy.

then dont get the other peice of shit as there's a whole new technique to be learned putting it on it's stand on the thing with a narrow table that's not the most stable thing in the world too
i have a shed full of bikes and tried allsorts on my first stand like this, i only brought it as a stepping stone, and it's worth the wait to find the right one

Both my lift benches are 1800 long and I've had every conceivable road bike on both.

The quality of the cheaper brands is nowhere near as good as the more expensive ones but for home use may well be more than adequate.

How far forward does the wheel clamp stick out, on your lift. The one I've used won't let the wheel go right forward, so ya can't have both sitting on the flat surface. Pain in the fucken arse.

The position of the wheel clamp still allows the contact patch of the rear tyre to be on the flat bench section - even on any Harley that has been on the bench. While the rear wheel then overhangs that flat section once the ramp is removed, it actually makes the job of removing the rear wheel even easier.
