Anyone have plans on how to make an ATV stand? Picked up a played out lt250r and I could really use one. Any help would be great !!!:D

you can buy a cheap motor cycle jack from your local dealer for 99 bucks

i have never used it for my quad but it works good on the bikes

I purchased an ATV lift from SAM'S for $99...all aluminum works great.

i got a goodyear atv/motorcycle/watercraft lift from sam's club ... $70 and holds up to 1500lbs. only nitpick was it wouldn't fit completely under my frame with the nerfs on but 2 18" 2x4's fixed that.

otherwise a very good deal.

ive got 5 gallon buckets, milk crates, jacks and jackstands for mine.

I use an old beer keg with a strap on top works great and easy to move .

I use a 1100lb table cart. ;)

Lifts the bottom of the quad up to about 3ft. Not to mention it's very useful for more than just an atv lift. Runs about $150-$175

Milk Crates work perfect

[frosti108]

yes but its a ***** to get it up on a milk crate... but yea thats what i use :o

take a few of these babies and prop it up......they're free just go hack down a tree, it's what i use to swap out dirt or sand tires/wheels

I have this big container that deck stain came in. I cover it with a towel and use that. Its pretty much just a metal bucket. I just jack up the front of the quad, push down on the bumper, and roll the fourwheeler back onto the bucket. Its not that hard.

I use a craftsman ATV lift. I hate it, heavy as hell, a pain in the *** to move around, dosnt fit all the way under the quad somethings allways breaking on it. Only good thing is the lifetime warrenty. I have done went threw 4. I don't reccomend buying one.

i made one for my 125 from 2x4's and it is anbout the same size as the ones they sell and it works awsome for my quad.

So bike stands work ok for ATV's too?

I use this ATV lift from Larin. Clears the nerfs no problem and has served me well for many years.

How much for that thing?

[Sanddraging28]

i built one for my garage at home...some 2x4's and a sheet of 1/2 inch plywood. i use the ramps off my car trailer....works awesome. only about $35

after spending way to much for 2 air powered lift tables at my shop, this is great for my house

Cheapest i've found online is about $135-145. Just Google "Larin ATV" and you'll get a bunch of results. Here's one for $135 if it's in your price range: http://garage-toys.com/laatvmoutja.html

here is one a buddy made.. he would probaby make you one pretty cheap but don't know about shipping.. they work great though

[honda400ex2003]

i like that one^^^ simple yet effective. steve

Here's mine in the background. Couple of 2x4's with 3/4 plywood on the top and around the perimeter. Less than 5 bux to make and about 20 minutes. Been using it for 3 years now without a problem. Puts the bike about 2 1/2'-3' off the ground and make it nice and easy to work on the bike as well as washing it. It's great for us old guys that have problems kneeling over to wrench on the bike:devil:

Thought about adding caster wheels on the legs so I could move it around the garage as well.

[honda400ex2003]

My buddy and I have his winch on the front of his foreman up through the rafters and back down to the back end toget the back off the ground. It is a funny site to see. We just kept pressure on the front to lift the back off the ground. we have been working on his bearings in the back so it works great. Steve

I second that. It doesnt fit under the bike with nerf bars on. Says its rated for about 1200 lbs and the first time I tried to my 400ex the damn handle snapped right off. Weighs a damn ton. Hated it so much that I built a stand out of 4x4's then used a come along from the roof of my barn to lift the quad up then stuck the stand under it and that craftsman piece i turned it got money and bought some new tools.
