I picked up a used lift in great shape. I went up to harbor freight to see abouit buying the side extention kity for it...they looked at me like I had 3 heads, Does anyone know where I can get these ??

 

aedi on evah I - But I will Bump ya

 

they dotn make a side extension kit for them, but its easy to fashion one yourself if your handy or get someone to help you with it

 

Side extensions? You mean a place for your feet to maintain balance as you ride up the ramp? How about a set of 8' 2x6 (or 2x8) lumber lying next to each edge of the ramp? Put rubber bumpers under the boards so they don't slide or slip.

 

I made some using some pipe and 1x12 boards I had laying around.

 

Sounds simple enough-see above.

 

Fortunately, I already had two ramps (2"x10"x6') that I use to load the "vette" onto my car lift.

If you decide to use something like this be sure that you have them far enough away from the lift when you lower the lift and bike.

 

heres the manual for the old extensions they use to sell. the phone number is still the same as the ones on the current lift. maybe they could point you in the right direction.

Wish they still sold these.

 

I built these extensions for a place to put my feet as I ride up on the table. Simple materials and removes quickly or can remain in place. 1/2 inch conduit attached to the 2x6 that slips into 3/4 conduit attached to the table. A cotter pin keeps the extensions from sliding out. The conduit is attached to the table and 2x6 with conduit straps. The 2x6 is 8 feet long and extends past the end of the platform allowing you to put your feet down as you start up the ramp. It works really well, very stable.
