Hey all.
I'm looking to snag a lift, either Pitbull or J & S. Problem is very tight space in my garage so size matters. Called Pitbull yesterday and the young lady said "about 3 ft by 2 ft". Was hoping for something a little more precise. Could anyone give me the footprint on the Pitbull?
Thanks and you all be careful.

 

I just picked up a Pitbull today. Bought it used off Craigslist. Dude said he had used it once. I haven't measured it, but it is larger than 2 ft X 3 ft. I have a single car garage (apartment living) and I had to do some jockeying around to get it in position to lift my Road King. It's a large footprint. But, I really like the lift and will make do with the space limitations. A friend has the J&S and it is smaller in footprint. He has a larger garage and has no trouble lifting his Ultra.

If the choice is limited due to space, go with the J&S. The Pitbull also includes a 3 ft. handle for assisting in the jockeying process, but that just makes the entire operation a bit more space intensive.

Yeah, I got the Pitbull for less than the cost of a J&S. A lot less. Craigslist can be fruitful if you are patient and persistent.

 

Thanks for the info and congrats on your purchase. I read in another thread the Pitbull footprint is larger, just wasn't sure how much larger. Sounds like J&S is best way to go for me.

 

Pitbull is 2x4

 

Thanks. That really helps. Don't have 4 ft to spare.
