Default Jack ID

Trying to figure out if this is Chinese junk or hopefully something better:


Garage Sale find, labeled Lift Up (or Up Lift) in San Clemente CA.
googles giving me a few references to past sales but no company info.

It's an Uplift motorcycle lift.
Made in America, NOT a Chinese import.
My friend has one. I was with him when he purchased it in the late 1990's at Sturgis. They had a booth and were demonstrating the jack. If the price is right, you should purchase it. Quality wise, it's probably built as well as a J&S.
I have a Dunwell motorcycle jack. Also purchased in the late 1990's, and they were also at Sturgis demonstrating their products. Unfortunately, these smaller companies have gone out of business, but they did make a great product.

Good buy, your next purchase should be a dolly to put the bike on once the jack has it up.
