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 UA-cam family is awesome.
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!!
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 👍🏼
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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 🤘
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.
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.
@@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
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
Well thought out project, thanks. Love your Frenchies too!
Great video. Love the way you show how you solve problems as you go to improve the design

True as others have said... probably the best table build on UA-cam...
Great...reward yourself...👍👍👍👍
Simon a Brit in Spain 👍
cleanest build on YT for this topic. Very nice & well done A+
Thank you

Great video, nice project... keep DIY
Great video bro thank you its given me some pointers to now build my own 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘
great job, i like it.👍
Brilliant...!
Nice build. I would add a safety bar with notches to set heights and hold the load.
yes i plan on doing something. i will have a second video up soon and finish that project. so make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it

Very nice Bro
Awesome FAB work I'm a new subscriber for sure. I've been wanting to build a bike table as well for my HD. Any chance of a cut list and plans.
awesome
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.
Cooking spray works... so does a light film of WD-40, and that's always around the shop. I wouldn't waste torch gas on weld bb's.
Cooking spray or WD. Paper towels will catch fire.
Beautiful job, brother. Nicest homemade one I’ve seen yet. Contemplating something similar. What was your total cost into this?
a quedado de lujo
un saludo desde España ,
Very cool would love to see Spain
Nice build

Would you be able to give a list of the full components to make one
Great build, do you have the dimensions for everything, would love to build one myself?
Very nice build. My fear is not having a safety bar on the table.
It’s coming my friend. Like I said definitely not finished quite yet. Subscribe and watch for the second video coming out soon
Привет , я из России, жму тебе руку бро, ты просто красавчик!!! Хочу сделать по твоему , очень крутой подъемник!!!
Just curious if you have a drawing with some measurements and materials
Have you the plan ? Thanks
Looks cool but i have a concern. I noticed you don’t have have a lock system yet and how easy is it to move around your area? Marz from Sunny So. Cal
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
@@DIRTBIKEFAB do you have an idea what is your max lifting ( I recall the lift lifts 3k ) what will the table support?
@@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
How much kilos can you lift?
How much did you have in your lift after you finished. I used an air Bello on the lift that I built.

@@DIRTBIKEFAB Yeah you done a good job on it, took your time welder up nice I’ll be watching for your next video
So what did you come up with as the final product.
I’ll be posting a finish product video in the next few weeks
Good vid, but the noise - is that music, or static? - should be reconsidered, as not everyone is into that sort of thing.
So bad I had to turn off
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.
i have been working on plans while i have time. i bet it would lift that. i lift my snow sleds on it with out any problem
@@DIRTBIKEFABthis build is great! I’m sorry to hassle you about it, but was wondering if the plans were available? Thanks very much 🙌🏼
Any updates? I know we are all busy these days. Just wondering.
I have an old bed that lifts. I wonder what I can do with that.
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

Can I contact you when I get home tonight? It is hard to explain.
not an engineer proceeds to build a common sense bike hoist thats better than production models.....
Hey I tried building this but ran into a few problems can you help me out?
Sure how can I help

@@DIRTBIKEFAB I made the table eight feet and the legs 7foot 4 inch
Can I contact you about my lift. Also bad ass job
Sure feel free to email me. Email address is in my bio
@@DIRTBIKEFAB new to this phone stuff where is the bio?
