Motorcycle lift for a trike??
I have been thinking of buying a bike lift and it must be capable of handling a trike also. Does anyone know of a decent air powered lift with removable side pieces for a trike. I don't want to pay a fortune but I won't go cheap either. I also want a front tire clamping mechanism.
Any recommendations? Anybody have experience with lifts or a preference for a brand/model?

I have the Direct-Lift Procycle unit. It's the standard one for a 2-wheeler, but I'll be getting the extensions for it so I can put the wife's trike on it a little easier. Right now, I just put blocks on either side to roll the rear tires up and then put a block under the rearend so I can lift it off the ground. This leaves the rear tires free for rotational purposes..... When I picked mine up locally, they threw in the jack for free. That was a plus! Been using it for over 4 years now without issues.

Handy Lift didn't go out of business but are under new ownership. I bought the Handy BOB with side extensions so I could use it on the Mower and other garden equipment as well as the Tri Glide. Just note that some of the lifts are 1000# and that is slightly under limit for the Tri Glide. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/tri-g...out-lifts.html

Thanks for the info on the lifts. That Handy Bob lift looks like quite a brute but they don't exactly give it away either. I'll have to save my pennies I guess. I durn sure don't want to drop my wife's trike, not with what we have invested in it.
