This is most likely the best DIY motorcycle lift I have seen so far. I want to make myself one. Can you make a playlist of the videos you have made of this build? Would also be great if you have a simple technical drawing and cut list and share it with us.
10:39 look at this shot here you can see what it could look like make differences, and search the internet for parts, i would add add the pivot maybe a rod welded to the bolts, or attached in another way for extra stability, and maybe a base plate cuz i don't fully thrust those wheels, but that is all up to you, your bike size, and how much area you might need, like i said go to sites for official scissor lifts take measurements ect
I built a similar table about 10 years ago to work on rider mowers. I had the same issue getting it to lift the first 6-8". Since I didn't want to raise the deck height and have to mess with ramps, I installed an air lift bag I had laying around under the center of the table. Inflating the air bag lifts the table high enough that the winch can take over and easily raise the deck the rest of the way.
Awesome Motorcycle Lift Table Build!! I am grabbing tips and tricks that you are using and building my first motorcycle lift table instead of paying such a high price.. Thanks
Dude! Thing things badass! I need to build one. After working at a shop for a few years as a mechanic, and having a lift table I just cant stand working on the ground anymore! 😅😁
Really nice job you did with this build--- so years ago I did the same as well, but I`m thinking to re-do mine after seeing yours--again, great job. Let me know if you plan on publishing build plans for this lift--thank you.
Thank you so much. I am working on trying to get a set of detailed plans for this table but between other bike builds and life it’s taking me longer than anticipated. I will be doing a second finished video soon and I am hoping to have the plans out for it then. Thank you for the comment. The RU-vid family is awesome.
Just a small tip for those who don't have an acetylene torch. You can cover the area where you'll be welding with paper towels, then spray the rest of the surface with cooking spray. Slag bbs won't stick.
Hey brother, I own a shop up in Rochester, NY, called Asylum Cycles. I stumbled across this video after looking at many lifts and not happy. I have most of the material to build this. Do you have any build plans or materials list you could share? Wondering were the spacers inside the square tube stock and rollers you used.
Hey man, came across this video just like all the others and I agree with them in regards to the "cheap" China stuff. It's just not up to snuff. Looking to do a build like this myself. Would be grateful to know the material you used and how you came across everything. 👍🏼 Thanks for posting a video like this, hoping to see more in the future 👍🏼
This is by far the best DIY table I've seen yet. Any chance I could get the lengths in the 1x3 tubing? I am going to build this but need to order some tubing. Only needing the tubing length for the X legs. Thank you in advance and damn fine job!!
Good eye. I don’t have a lock yet it will me part of my part 2 follow up video when I finish it. It is super easy to move around, just raise it up and it rolls super easy to where you want it
@@marzbarh heck I’m not 100% to be honest with you. I do know I have lifted my snow sled on it which ways about 400lbs with ease. That’s the heaviest thing i will ever need to lift. I haven’t tried to max it out
Nice job man! 👍👍👍 I want to repeat your project. Chinese lifts are too flimsy for this price. So you would be very kind to make a second detailed video. We'll be waiting! Thanks and good luck! 👍🤟🔨🔩🔧
Thanks so much for the comment. I agree the “cheap” Chinese lifts are less than desirable. I am planning on making another video on the lift soon just been unreal busy with life. I have also been thinking about making a set of plans I could send people if they desired. I have had quite a bit of interest. Thanks gay for the comment and for watching. Make sure you’re subscribed for future videos
This is beautiful. So I’ve been thinking how you go lower. I think adding a change of direction pulley near the center of the table and dropping it maybe 3” now provides an angle so the cable doesn’t flatten out and pulls against itself. Had the table been made out of maybe 5” stock, that would’ve allowed room to hide the pulley inside maybe? Im so intrigued, I’m thinking of doing a temp fab out of 2x4 wood and see if the theory works.
Thank you for sharing your DIY Motorcycle lift table. Do you have plans to get started with? Would you feel comfortable lifting a Harley bagger with it? Look forward to seeing your final product.
@@DIRTBIKEFAB ok I’m at work right nite but real quick. I made my table 8 foot. And the legs 7foot 4. I’m having trouble with the pulleys and I have s 2thou lb winch
Thanks for the comment. At the moment I am sitting around $500for everything. The price of metal in my area, much like everywhere is ridiculous. But so far I am super happy with the way it is work. My first plan was to use a air bag to lift it and may do that some day if I decide I dislike the set up I have now. Thanks again for the comment and watching I really appreciate it 🤘
Yes I have been unreal busy with life. I will be doing an update soon hopefully. So far I have been very happy with this lift and not sure I’ll change much
Nice build. I think I might make something similar, although mine would need to be wide enough for a lawn tractor or snow blower (my most common patients/victims). I would also like to see if you have come up with a safety mechanism. A tall jack stand could work in a pinch. How stable is it side to side? I imagine for and aft is pretty good, except maybe at full height.
Not as of now. My plan is to see how it all works then build some plans. Once I get them drawn up and finalized I’ll make a video about that. So make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss that
