Have had one of these for years. Expensive but head and shoulders above the hydraulic jacks I own. Better built and far more versatile.

Where are the wheels to roll it under the bike like on the $50 lifts?

A Pepsx stand works pretty well (if you already have a Craftsman or Harbor Freight jack), for a lot less money.

That's pretty expensive, still, for what it is.

You could always go all out and buy one of these stands



I can't tell you how much cos I may make you think I have more money than sense. One thing I do know is this, having this stand is the difference between being able to work on my bike or not. Even then I've only got a couple of hours opportunity until my back says that's enough stacka.

So I really had no choice as I wasn't going to pay someone else to do what I love doing myself.

Btw, since that pic I've had the wheels from my older stand in the background welded on so my bikes mobile when lifted.

And finally, this stand is all quality being made in GB



Staintune Pipes, K&N Pods, 45 pilots, TBS needles and 145 mains.

I'll deal with you in Nelson. To show that I was an American booster I bought it when your yank dollar was at one of it's all time high's. I don't have to worry about that anymore because the Canuck Buck is where it's at. Had a couple grand US that I keep around when I travel for work and I thought I better cash it in before it drops any further. The bank teller took great joy in telling me how much I lost from when I first did the exchange. I'll give you a few bucks to take back with you so that you can be a high roller like me. hehehe!
