Do you own a trike lift?

[mhgoldwing]

If so, what brand and model number do you have?

And, do you think it was money well spent?

I have a detail lift that I bought years ago for my 2 wheel scoots. It is slowly rusting away in my garage.

On my BUCKET LIST. Wish I had room for one.

I spent a couple of hours today looking up lifts on line. There's some pretty nice stuff out there but for me it would take a lot of looking before I bought one. To me the features would be the selling point. Post after you decide and pick something up. Jim

I like that Reline job! I scrounged a bunch of 1x10 boards and cut them into progressively shorter lengths until I had about a 6" lift. Then a buddy and I lucked into this for $100 that we were going to share, but neither of us has had an occasion to use in the last 3 years:

My lift table is a K & L MC655R. I had an opportunity to buy a four year old professional optioned unit from a trike builder that was retiring. Could not pass that opportunity up. Absolutely love this lift table. I also have a lift I used back in my two wheel days to lift the GL1800 from the center of balance point. It works on some trike rear frames but usually in those situations I just use the low clearance/quick pump floor jack and jack stands.

If I had the room I would buy a Handy Lift, why, because that is what all harley dealers have in their shop, at least the ones I have visited, that is just me, I know their are other lifts out there, but what I have seen Handy is not any more money than any other lift, if the harley shops have them, they must trust the lift.


All for now Trampas

It has been modified by me,i took all the specs to a engineer at work and told him what i wanted to do and he said it will work fine,I made up some 1/8 thick steel pans 1 1/2 x 14 x 14,and the lift had a hole at the rear of the table on both sides that was 1 3/8 in dia.I bought a piece of black gas pipe 1 5/16 in dia at Lowes that was just slightly shorter the the combined width of the lift and pans.
Then i drilled a 1 5/16 hole in both pans on one side only that would line up with the holes in the lift.Then drilling 4, 3/8 mounting holes i mounted one pan slid the pipe thru the lift and into the pan then slid the other pan on and mounted it so now the pipe cant be removed unless you pull one pan off.It ended up with the pipe almost dead center of the rear wheels.It lifted my buddies trike like it was nothing.as soon as i can figure out why i can download pics from my phone to my computer i will post so e pics.

Guess I'm trying to convince myself I NEED to spend the money and I have a hard time doing that.

Looks like those that have them are glad they do.

MD-6XP 6,000 Lb. Capacity, Mid-Rise, Frame Lift, Portable
This is what I have. It's plenty strong enough to use on my car & truck. If I had a higher ceiling in my garage I would have a 2 column lift.

If you don't want to spend the money for a lift use 3 car ramps. When I had my Goldwing Trike I would put the ramps at the tires then drive up.

I still use the ramp system with the Spyder, I drive the front wheels up the ramps then jack up the rear and put either a 3rd ramp under it or a jack stand.

I also have a HF lift I paid 59.95 for about 10 years ago. I have seen them lately for 79.95

I have a Titan XL (1,500 lb weight limit). Use it for the Trike, Bike, and John Deere! There are wings that attach to the sides for wider things such as trikes. This is a hydraulic lift that uses either a foot pump or pneumatic by attaching it to a compressor.

[Jack Klarich]

Nope, I am old school I will build one

[HDHoggly]

I have a Redline lift and would recommend it to anyone.
