What kind of lift do you use to work on your quad?

Will a regular motorcycle lift work?

Please post photos so I can understand.


Thanks,

i dont have one yet, but the local hardware stores have hydraulic atv lifts for $70, and they look pretty nice too

I have a harbor freight lift that works well but nothing beats a 5 gal. bucket.

AC quad stand.

It is the perfect height so your not hurtting your back.

If you get the AC stand, how in the heck do you lift the quad up onto it?

[jason43050]

a couple of egg/milk crates is what i use :)

[JeffRocknr]

I use a lift from craftsman. I have the more expensive one, i think it is about $90 but it works good and it puts it at the perfect height when i sit on my roll around stool. Also i can roll the quad around the garage floor with it on the stand.

blue point...think its a bike lift, hydraulic. . removable handle..VERY sturdy!

[Scott-300ex]

Uh, don't use one, if you need to work under it then lift it on its grab bar.

:ermm:

i made this one when i got bored one day. its about waist level and makes it real easy to work on stuff.

Just stand it up on the rear grab bar and then set the stan in front/underneath the frame at the foot pegs and pull it down on top by the a-arms or front bumper.

Very easy to do.

How high in the air does the lift bring your quad? With it in full extension like in the photo, what is the height of the center of the wheels? Inches please.

well 4 my rebuild on my 400ex, we used a 44 gallon drum 4 a lift thing. it worked out really well perfect working height 4 me and my mate.


cheers, from down under

[Iliketogofast]

Wow, I don't even use a barrel. If I have to get to something underneath that I can't reach, I flip it onto it's back bumper. And if I'm taking the wheels off I have a plastic milk crate thing that I sit it up on.

Oh Grant, your back tires are just a tad less than fresh. :)

[04exking]

same here with the molk crate. best tool in the garage if you ask me

just use a jack or block. Wonce used a fork lift:eek2:
