not being rocket surgery, you just need a scissor jack which will match the frame rails.

your local junk yard or pick-a-part will have a 20' pile of jacks.
$10 is about right

A 96 Crown Vic donated mine. Get the kind you just put a socket on not the twisty handle kind...

Been scared of heavy stuff on jacks since I was a kid building hot rods. Don't yet have a lift table, but it's coming. The idea of my bike on a lift table, then on a scissor jack is downright spooky. You are using these only to remove the wheels one at a time?

I have a Titan lift and a scissor jack came with it. It looks like the Atlas but says Titan on it. Works awesome. As mentioned earlier, even using it for peace of mind stability is worth it. I've used mine with 4 straps on the bike with both wheels off the bike with no worries.

junkyard special

go to the junk yard and get a scissor jack from any car, I use a Honda Accord scissor jack and a piece of wood across the frame tubes works good and is easy to slide under the motorcycle on the table...

Mid 1980's GM full size car jacks work on all kinds of applications, junk yard specials.
Much more stable than any scissor jack.
Short piece of 2X6 to fit...
