Re: Bike lifts?
A lot of the guys here in Aussie buy these lifters from Repco, they are Chinese jobs but work OK for the money (on special $150)
they can also lift quad bikes as well, they go by the name of "Pro Lift" and can lift 750 kg, they do sell them in SA & are silver in color i think?
The ones we get are painted orange, the Harley guys use them a lot so try searching there, i did se a used one in Joburg for R1200.

Re: Bike lifts?
The link you posted, Ed, shows a capacity of 135kg, not enough for your bike mate.
I've got one similar to Mezos' pic. They're known a "Hog Hoists" around here (I don't like the harley reference but it's a usefull tool). It's length makes it more stable than the one in your link & they come with a handle which makes it easier to push your bike around

Re: Bike lifts?
The ones you get down under are painted orange, but the same thing & you can remove the handle to work on your bike.

Re: Bike lifts?
I have the burger royal version from chicken feed (harbor freight) Takes up vital space when not in use.
Bacon and eggs...A day's work for a chicken, a lifetime commitment for a pig.

Re: Bike lifts?
What was that worth Dan? (your burger Royal) and could have taken a pic with the Tenere on it.

It was about $400 from Radum. Radum is the chicken feed of garage equipment.MEZO wrote:What was that worth Dan? (your burger Royal) and could have taken a pic with the Tenere on it.

Re: Bike lifts?
There are a couple of other ways of skinning this cat guys - by building your own stand.
I like this one because when not in use it can be disassembled and takes up a minimum of space. http://www.bbcracing.com/old/box/
This one does not disassemble, but I've seen the tilting rocker design at a local bike shop and it's pretty cool.http://www.eurospares.com/bikestnd.htm
