Sunken Motorcycle Lift

[cdp70]

I was browsing another website and found this thread: LINKY.

Just curious if anyone else has done anything like this?


Ride safe...

 

[Papa Ritch]

That is nice.

I also like the one with the large metal plate as it pretty much disapears when down and only needs fast mount hook points

 

[safedoctor]

I want one.......

 

[Mellow]

That's cool... I like that... if I had a lift, I'd have to park my bike on it all the time as I wouldn't have much room left in the garage...

The only problem is resale for the house might be tougher if selling to someone that doesn't ride, then you'd have to fill it in and that would just hurt to do...

My wifey says "uh oh". I think that's a good sign!

 

[indypup]

Hmm, I need to repair my garage floor anyway...

 

[kc0bid]

Darn tension slabs.....

 

[Jeff F]

In a way, that set up is nice but... You also lose about 7" of lift doing it that way.

My thoughts exactly - it would be way too low then.

Not if you built a small lift to lift the lift out of the hole I'm thinking 4 bottle jacks plumbed to a single hand pump.

Put a lift under the lift!

A little more digging needed ...

I think they're all pretty standard but I guess its possible he's got a table lift that goes up higher than the ones I've seen - max height of lift is usually around 33". Mine will go to 35 and a bit - but isn't `sposed to.

I really like his idea tho - nice clean look

OK, shoulda added - "at a reasonable price for a home shop" but figured that's what we were talking about.

I did that a couple years ago when I re-did my garage and created my 'Mancave'

He lists what lift he used and the heights he has on page 2 of the thread:

I purchased this specific Handy Lift for its 35" full lift capability. It is 7.5 inches fully retracted I made the hole just a tad deeper than the 7.5 inches so it would sit almost level with the floor or just below.

Now I have about 28 inches of total lift, more than enough for my purposes. Most lifts only go up about 28-30 inches anyway. You do give up some but not enough to make that much difference, IMO.

The Good Lord built my *** to close to the pavement and this is one of the few times it will be a blessing!
