Homemade ATV lift
Вставка

- 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
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
That IMA is a very useful and practical home build. Simple design and an inexpensive build. I am impressed and hope to build one myself. IMA $1,500 is too much to pay for an at lift. Your design will work just fine. Thank you VERY, VERY much for sharing. Stay blest my friend.
nice design. quick and easy build while I'm figuring out my metal one.
I made a similar one out of aluminum a few years ago but found it was always in my way. good build for a wood lift
A tip: watch movies on KaldroStream. I've been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Alfred Merrick yup, have been watching on KaldroStream for years myself :D
@Alfred Merrick yup, I have been using kaldrostream for since november myself =)
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.
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.
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!
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.
I really like what u have done her. Nice job
Do you still have this and is it still everything you designed it to be?
I would pay you for the parts list and assembly instructions. I need one.
Thank you
This is an awesome setup, I was thinking of some how using the winch already attached to the ATV for lifting? Maybe even widen and highten the design to store a smaller (kids) ATV under this one. thanks
hey could you maybe email me some blueprints of any sort? or a list of the materials needed? I could possible go off of the video. this is a piece of engineering genius! great job!!!
!!!!! 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
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. :)
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
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.
Very nice. I wonder how or what modification would need to be done in order for the deck to lift level or more level right from the start?
That is cool.can you post prints on how to build.i know it looks heavy but i could put wheels with springs on it.that way the wheels would sink in to frame..Thanks..
nice! thanks for up loading 47 thumbs up
It is marvelous, but why not only lifting the middle plating and clear tires?
Thanks for the video. I need one for my mower so now i have a design to base one on.
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.
This is awesome I am going to build 1 any info that you would be willing to help with? like the list of materials needed and specs
Very cool. Im not sure what the width of lumber that has the pulley attached for doubling the lift power but just so you know it double the weight of the item your lifting and puts it on that piece of lumber and pulley. I'm not knocking your work. It's genius.
I am no expert...so each pulley doubles the weight? I have a 2K electric winch though of making something like this...it's really quite the space saver too..thank you
Great workman ship....did you draw plans for this
Or you could use pump jacks?/?/
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
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.
Good job! Thumbs up from me... Stay safe... Rico
Top Vid thank you for the good Idia
Not bad not bad at all I might try this
That is sweet!
man thats freaking great I'm on it .thank you so much
Could you add some dimension's where you added the note about the platform material size? Thanks ahead.
C. D.
How about one for a Lawn Tractor like a John Deere L130 you think it will Support that i'm Disabled and can't bend down and work on them
great job!!!
What is the size of the deck? I am just about to attempt to make a similar lift for my wife's wheelchair. It will have side rails and be a bit more robust., but I am looking at employing the same principle.
Would you have a diagram of the quad table you can send me please ?
That's awesome
nice work!
sweet...space saver as well this is my goal...wish me luck lol
I would like to build one like this. What are the dimensions and wench size?
Anyway u still have the dimensions for this
Do you have the prints or layout list for building the lift
pretty cool
awesome
Nice job
just need a safety if that thing goes your foot will suffer
How long will it last before the wood gets wet and starts to warp for what u have invested just drive it up on a slope with ramps underneath plus u will have a lot more room in ur garage dughhhh!!!!
Ou est la barrière de sécurité
Looks wonky
ares broke
How did it break I'm thinking about making one myself?
Interesting but quite frankly I see no useful purpose other than the wasted time making it and it taking up space.
Now we need one car sized
If you do small engine repair work of any kind thats extremely useful dumb ass
