Bike lift for Tri Glides
What are people using for a bike lift on a Tri Glide? I’ve only done limited research but the ones I’ve seen are a bit borderline on the weight limitation.
My buddy ordered the Redline 1500 lift. We studied a few and he decided on that choice. It came crated very security. You better have a forklift, Bob-Cat, heavy front loader, or something like that to unload it off your trailer! It is one heavy puppy in one crate! We put it together in an hour or so. The only thing we did to the lift was paint the surface with a ‘bed liner’ material, because the top was slick. We have used it a couple of times and I have enjoyed working on the trike with it raised. If I ever get a bigger shop to where I could have one, I would order the same one, unless something better comes out in production later on.

Texas; 254 counties and I have ridden through them all! Got my pin from my Congress Lady congratulating me on completing my journey.
Also look into J and S jacks. My J and S lift has served me well for 4 years now.

Hadn’t looked at the J and S models. Coincidentally, the company is located only about 75 miles from my hometown in Wisconsin. I never knew they existed! Look like a great unit!
I have a J & S Jacks for Tri Glides. Safe and solid!

I have a J & S trike jack, works great and have had it for many years with no problems. If I had the room I would have a drive on lift from Handy, I know 3 harley dealers that have these lifts, they usually only have one lift for trikes and the other lifts are for 2 wheelers, never really looked at other lifts since Handy is made here in Iowa, I think they still are haven't check recently.
All for now Trampas
I use the redline lift also. It's a great lift, I use it for my lawn tractor and as a working table.

I use a Weaver Lift. Free shipping which most companies charge. The Old Dominion driver put it right in my garage. It uses an air compressor driving a hydraulic system. Works flawlessly.
Does the J&S work well for pulling wheels or changing shocks?
Works fine for both!

I have a K&L MC625R lift. It has a 1850 lb. capacity and is air over hydraulic system with a foot peddle.
It has split sides so you can use all 4 or keep the front or back 2 on the lift while working.
The drop down panels on the front and rear are nice for working on the bike too. With the front chock,
the front wheel drops down to the floor so nice while still in the chock.
I have had it for about 8 years now and use it for everything. Lawn tractors, zero turns, golf carts and anything else that comes along. Its a must have for me with back issues.
I have a Handy lift that is rated at 1000 lbs, I have installed outriggers on it for the trike and have had zero issues with it. Now keep in mind even though it says 1000 LBS lifts like any lifting device is under rated for what it will actually lift. So the Tri Glide is rated at 1250 lbs being 250 pounds over I didn't even give it a second thought.
