I made this about a year ago off of some plans I got online. I use it all the time and it works very well.

I changed a lot of things that were on the basic plans for safety and ease of use.

The plans came from www.afabonline.com.

I probably have more in it than you could buy a commercial one for, but if you enjoy making stuff on your own this is a good stable lift table.

Sorry about the big picture!

 

Floor jack for power?
Pretty neat and sturdy looking.
DIY projects aren't usually cheaper , just better by design.....
Congrats , looks like a winner.

Thanks Mick,
I am using a 4ton floor jack from Sears.

 

Lift is nice but that is a sweet ride upon it.,

 

another garage that is way to organized

 

Very nice! What do you figure it cost to build?

 

Thanks Bluesssman,

It would be hard for me to estimate the build cost. I already had a lot of the steel in my shop. I did buy the wheel vise, winch, casters and floor jack.

Just a guess....$450.00 to $500.00


But remember I built it a year ago and every thing is more expensive now, especially steel.

 

That is my 1999 FatBoy. I bought it new and it has about 50,000 miles on it now.
I couldn't get rid of it when I got my SG. I plan on passing it on to my son someday. It has been a great motorcycle.

 

Very nice. I want to build some sort of table lift as well. I saw the homemade rig pictured below on another board and thought it might be cool to build just to change fluids, but yours is certainly a better project.

 

I really like see projects that come together as well as yours. It is great fun to build your own equipment and parts!
