Homemade ATV lift
Wanted a lift,but was to cheap to buy one. Came up with this contraption one day and put it all together.
One note: I said in the video that it was all 2x6. Thats not true. The top platform has 2x6 sides and back, but the cross pieces are 2x4 to allow the cable to pass through

    Nice. By substituting some angle iron for the uprights and backing up the wood with a little steel in critical weak points would make it a bit stronger.

    It’s been 10 years since this video posted. Since then, YT has blown up for the DIY market. I do have a couple of questions though. 1) Do you still use this lift? 2) How has it worked out for you? 3) Have you made any modifications, or is it basically the same unit? 4) Did you ever complete a set of plans and a cut list for this project? I’d be mostly interested in how to connect the winch. The rest seems to be pretty straightforward. This looks like a well thought out project, simple to build, and simple to store. I appreciate your time and effort to not only build this table, but to share it with the rest of us!

    Those are carriage bolts, *not lag bolts.* Interesting build though. Looks like it performs great.

    I have been contemplating a Neanderthal lever lift system which would replace your elec winch,I already made one to lift my pick up on the side with a 15 ft long lever arm.

    I built a similar table but used 4x6sx8ft for the corners and I rig chains to hold a chain hoist to lift my mower from side or rear or front or wherever I need it lifted.,the best part of this design is no need for ramps. Well done my man

    !!!!! Wow thks for sharing your project with us signed up for more projects like this going to give it a try and make sure have safety in mind ya hav any plans for this design is it still working .?wood is not cheap in Canada 🇨🇦 SK because of the Covid crap every thing went up so glad found ya very easy to understand how ya made it so carry on from Canada 🍁 later

    Interesting. I've been looking to build a lift for maybe 300 pounds at most but to a 6 foot level. I'm wondering if longer legs would mean any more resistance at the bottom or actually less due to the cable angle on a higher post. Sideways strength when upright is another issue.

    Love it. I don't weld so using readily available and somewhat affordable dimensional lumber is exactly what I was looking for. Should be able to get my 200# butt high enough to get back onto the porch and in the house. A larger base should make it very stable and safe. Do you have the dimensions and measurements of key hole locations for a do it myself build? Thanks in advance for an awesome idea!

    I'm building one similar out of 4x4s to lift riding mowers. I'm using a similar winch with the looped cable but mine will be flat, no upright at the front. I saw a metal one made that way and it worked fine. Getting to old and have advanced osteoarthritis which has caused me to have my right hip replaced and needing both knees next to be getting down on the ground to work

    I want to know where you got the pulleys used to run the cable for the winch? Im going to make this lift but not going to make it the way you said to make. It massive over kill. 2 x 6 and 2 x 10 are, WOW, over kill and not needed. in HS (there pic in the year book, 1974 CCHS) of a 1' tall tower I made out of basal wood. At state they push down with over 4500 lbs of force before it blow apart, that got 4th. When I say it over kill, I know what Im talking about. 2 x 4 cost less. Glue and screw them together if believe you need more. I got big buckets of screws. this make the board stronger and cut the cost. for scooter and motorcycles (my bike weight 950+) the table has to be 2' x 7'. I would add 2 extra legs. all legs need to 30" and mounted INSIDE the base and table. I made 2 - 2' x 8' tables with 4 x 4 legs and 2 x 4 support with 3 - 2 x 4 cross supports and 3/4" plywood tops and bottom shelf. One bench filled will honda 4 cyl motor with a cyl rod poking out the block.one thing, I cut notes in the 4 x 4 legs so the 2 x 4 rest on the 4 x 4 then screwed to the 4 x 4's. each bench has 4 wheels from northern tools, rated at 400lb each. Im also going to mount HF $9 wheel chuck and use HF $24 hand winch. I will build a stand to place under the fame in front motor so the motor can be removed, if needed.

  • @bookemdano100
    @bookemdano100 5 років тому

    I would recommend adding a 2x6 on the flat (90 degress) attached to the one in the center bearing the load of the diagonal brace going down. ie California corner if you are familiar with house framing.

  • @brianedmistonb0427
    @brianedmistonb0427 6 років тому

    Great job Im hoping . You could tell me exactly step by step how to build this. I have a buddy who just lost his legs and super depressed. Basically a recluse locked in house. I would love to build something to help him get out. Moneys being limited so need creative solution. Im hoping i found it with you. This is genius and looks not to expensive to build. Not to mention low maintenance. Electric motor about all that go wrong. Saying i build and beef up the platform stuff. Guy is about 220 lbs and throw on im guessing maybe up to 300 lbs more for electric wheel chair. Any suggestions or guidance trully appreciated. Thank you Bryan Edmistonb04@gmail.com

    • @shannonp4037
      @shannonp4037 4 роки тому

      Not sure where you are at with your project, but why not just use a ramp. Fairly cheap. They also sell wheel chair/scooter ramp and table that attaches to a tow hitch. Put your buddy in the vehicle and put the wheel chair on the rack. Here are a few links for the hitch cage. For the ramp, just google wheelchair ramp, $100 for a 3' and up from their.

  • @krisley5178
    @krisley5178 6 років тому

    Nice job it looks like it works well. Now build one outta steel and you might have something there. LOL It looks very strong the way you've beefed it up in the "pulling" direction. But it looks like if you push or fall against it from the side.....it's a house of cards Brother. There's no way those wood 2x4's are gonna hold up. Very creative tho. :)

    • @neilholder
      @neilholder 3 роки тому

      I agree. Its a nice job. I built one of these for lifting some heavy machinery onto the back of my van (poor man's tail lift) - very similar. I did notice however that it wouldn't take much to make it unstable laterally so I screwed a sheet of ply from one leg to the other which solved the problem nicely. Good job

  • @bobbg9041
    @bobbg9041 7 років тому

    I'd add a safety jack under it incase the wire rope snaps. This would also reinforce the 2x" by using short 4x4 post jack's so even if somone hit it it could not fall back. causing damage to you property and some bystander. Any one of a few timbers bolts or pulleys could give out. Look back at the Hyatt Skywalk collapse Crown center Kansas City Mo and why it happened. the washers pulled out of the concrete the were too small. You have a lot of brace in the front but what's keeping the board they are resting on from breaking? it needs a timber set on its side to reinforce it from bowing back also. I'd seriously rather over engineer it spend extra money on lumber and screws not nails and be safe then take a chance.

  • @edwardnorton2012
    @edwardnorton2012 7 років тому

    I see a lot of useful purpose in this especially if you work on anything from an ATV, motorcycle or riding lawn mower. It would take a little more time building vs buying a lift BUT you'd save a couple of hundred dollars or more.

  • @hav1byte

    Cool build but how much of a purpose does it serve because you can not access the bottom of the quad and to take the wheels off you still need a jack

    • @adamr8628
      @adamr8628 3 роки тому

      Very simple. Put inexpensive scissor jacks on front and back,spin them up with a cordless drill. Or, you could build this lift in a modular way, so you can make it only contact the frame, or contact the tires.

  • @madmax-ys2iu

    • @vet137
