[Motorcycle Lift Conversion pt:1]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Took a #diy approach to an old ATV / #motorcyclelift and converted it into a table. This build cost me less than $100 to make with the use of scrap lumber and metal around my garage.
Inspired by the following UA-camrs:

Now I can raise my #sportster off the ground when I search for this oil leak…

Nice job, I refuse to work on the floor anymore,thanks for the video
Thanks! Yea get off the ground
Glad I found your channel, thank you for your idea on the platform, wicked
Awesome, it was fun to build
you’re little awesome. He stole the show, probably not so small now.
One of the point, I’d like to say to you, and I don’t know if you’ve moved on, but I found some caster wheels that I put on the very bottom with nearly 600 kg capacity which made it easier to move the table around my workshop my partner calls it man tent but we won’t go there.
I eventually put some on the lift so I could position it better in the garage. It made a huge difference
Great Idea !!! I'm going to do One Myself!! Thanks
Awesome, good luck!
great idea btw, I have not been wanting to spend 500 bucks on a HF lift...now I just need to find two identical used jacks so I can make two for use with quads and riding mowers too
Awesome idea!!! I have the same style jack, once I scrap up the steel I’m going to give this a try.
Thanks! Good luck with your build. Like what @ApexSun said, I didn’t want to pay a ton of money on something I could accomplish with scrap , a little time and a couple bucks.
@@RCXBuildsIt it’s going to take me a little time. Just picked up a few pieces of steel from a local surplus, “extra junk” store lol! A lot cheaper than hardware stores. The difficult thing is people are not letting go the extra steel. Rising cost of steel is driving up the hoarding. Once I get those together I will make a video. Thanks for making a good video.
Nice job young man... Nice truck too.
Great build, I might remember this when I get to build up my own garage. As for your ramp, a shallower angle with a support piece of wood in the middle should be all you need
Thanks! Yea that ramp was not planned very well, lol.
*Good Luck* on the garage build!
Rather than beef up the little jack or even as well as if you can I would suggest getting hold of one of thos rear paddock stands sports bikes use when working on there side only stand super bikes no jack needed just muscles plus I think they add small rear lugs called bobbins to hook the bike up they are totally stable
The stands look very handy. Especially for rear tire and chain cleaning/ maintenance. I picked up one of those but haven’t fooled with it much. I need to get me a set of the “bobbins” to install.
Bravo, bel lavoro!
Grazie!
Boa ideia 💡 legal.
*Doce!* Obrigado, funciona muito bem, construa um você mesmo, amigo.
Great execution. Thanks for sharing. The Portaband saw is nice but a pilot arc plasma cutter would make the metal cutting very easy.
Thank ya. Ooh Yea. It was on my Christmas List. Maybe next year…
unreal craftsmanship
oh it’s real, checkerhead. no cap.
That music drove me insane. I am completely batshit crazy now lol.
“Batshit Crazy” enough to build one of these for yourself? Lol
@@RCXBuildsIt I have the skills and tools to but what I really wanted to see was a center stand. I just want to be able to inspect and change the wheels and tires on my 800 lb. beast but it doesn't have a center stand.
I found that turning the volume down works quite well
That's not the way I thought it was going to go. I thought the old lift would still be on the SIDE.
Awesome music man!
Thanks! It was one of the free ones from the GoPro app Quik, “Creature in the corner”.
Definitely looks better than harbor freight tools, awesome 👌
Thanks so much! It works great even for a heavy Fat Bob.
It's a good thing that you have light bike. Both my Vision and Pursuit are over 900lbs. I have the dame Craftsman jack and I'm wondering just how much weight that all of the wood added? Great idea by the way. ~John
You’ve got a point there.
Just pulled my 2008 FatBob (about 700 lbs) off the lift and while it still held for over a week in the fully raised position, i wouldn’t go much heavier.
If you put a heavy bike on it you could get a compressive buckling failure of the long lower angles. Catastrophic. Be careful or beef them up.
I appreciate the feedback.
I’d like to revisit this whole build for peace of mind. Lots of areas that could use *beefing up*
what are the lengths of the angle steel
16:25
6 feet
Are all the metal L's you added cut to the same length.
Yea, they were C-channel in the start and when i split them down the middle lengthwise i essentially made 4 angle iron bars.
@RCXBuildsIt great idea saves money. So how long where the cuts
16:25 i go over some of the dimensions.
I believe the “angle iron” bars were all at 6 feet long. Overall length which includes the actual lifting platform/jack makes the table just over 7 feet.
Plenty of space to accommodate the wheel stand and ramp ledge i add in later vids an updated version of the build.
It had held a:
Yamaha FZR 600
Sportster
Fat-Bob so far with no issues.
Looking at how the bottom pieces are bending under compression, might be wise to replace them with C or box-sided lengths when the opportunity arises. Great project though, thanks for sharing it.
That’s pretty slick
Next time I see some clown buying a bunch of car jacks down at LKQ I will know what's up
The stupid audio track drove me away…
Very good job. I'm thinking about making a lift similar to yours, but I'm not sure if it can lift a BMW r1250rt weighing 275 kg. Could you tell me what weight your lift can handle safely? And what height does it reach? Thank you
Thanks! My FatBob I have had on it is 653.lbs (306.kg) and I imagine I am pushing its limit in its current configuration. The lift began life as only being capable of holding 1500.lbs (680.kg). As far as height goes I think it raises the bike atleast 2 feet (.61 meters) off the ground. Plenty high for my needs.
