Years ago I chose to go with a table lift. It was only a few hundred dollars more than a j&s jack lift. For for around $900 you can get a D





irect lift that'll easily pick up any thousand-pound motorcycle. I just sold my direct lift because I couldn't use it on my trike. I purchased Redline TR 1500. Seems to be working out fine. I put a condor wheel chock on the front so what easily will take two wheelers also.

J&S Jack. Doesn’t take up to much space and does the job admirably

So when you have your trike or bike on the table what do you use to a wheel off the ground so it can be removed?

A small automotive floor jack works great for the trike. And then its supported on a jack stand. Many tables have a removable section at the rear of the lift to remove the rear wheel of a two wheeler. No need to remove for the trike.
