Just bought a motorcycle lift from CL and it does not have a name/make on it. It lifts similarly to the J&S, more vertical at full height then say the pitbull. The lift arm pads are ~ 14 3/4" apart like the Pitbull but it lifts 18"s like the J&S. It has outboard rear wheels, a 4 ton jack and weighs quite a bit. Curious if anyone knows the brand?

 

Sears? Or harbor freight?

 

Definitely not a Pitbull or a J&S. Better keep a strap or two on it at all times!

 

No idea on brand but I don't see a way to lock it in place? Scary!

 

I have a very similar jack. Mine is labeled as a Black Jack. 1500 lbs max weight. Bought it at Princess Auto about 12 years ago. Mine and yours have the locking arms on the side. They swing down and catch a nub on the bottom rail. They're attached to the rear bolt. Never had an issue with mine. In fact I just used it to change my cams. Only problem is I can't change the oil on the bike when it's on the jack.

 

Much better built then any of those lifts. The seller has a Sears moto jack for sale also - you can see it in the pics. I was comparing the two and this jack is built a lot better then the sears. Heavier construction, wider platform, wider wheel stance... no comparison.

Straps??? Gave it the rocking test last night. Same as the vid that compares the JS, Pitbull and HF jacks. This lift is every bit as stable as the JS. No rocking or instability like the Pitbull.



Their are two thick locking arms, one on each side.


The only thing it needs is a lock down bolt so it wont roll. It already has the threaded holes for it.

 

It doesn't look bad, needs to be cleaned up. If you trust it then all good right?

 

Yep - good! It surprised me how stable it is. Maybe its hard to tell in the pics the quality and design. In pic 4, last pic, you can see the sears moto jack behind it and get an idea how much more their is to this jack.

Yes, a wash and a little black rusto is coming...
