If you are willing to spend some more money, this is the way to go.... You can feel 100% confident that your bike will NEVER fall.... The 2 piece cradle clamps your front wheel as you roll on.
Plus, bolt it to a trailer and you can load your bike by yourself and only use 2 straps on the rear (pulling the bike forward)....
30 seconds to load and unload your bike. Here is a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxW_wJE3vFk

What is ESCO? Do you have a link? HF has them for $139 without the coupons that are all over the place. I just need to figure out how to hook it up. I may be able to connect to the fitting where the cylinder pump push rod goes.

I dont know how to post a link but google: ESCO tire service and search: hyd pump. Its an industrial air over hyd pump we use for porta power jacks and heavy equipment tire bead breakers. Ill post a pic when I get home.

Air will require a larger cylinder than hydraulic to apply the needed force. I doubt you have the air pressure available that the hydraulic pump is applying to the stock cylinder. It may be several hundred psi hydraulic pressure.

I was thinking about hooking one of these babys to it.

Not sure if it would allow it to retract too. Looking for some experience with them.

I have a HF lift that is both hydraulic and air operated. Do they not sell this one any more? When my pump started leaking I ordered a new hyd/air pump from HF to replace the old one. If they still sell it you could order the pump from them.

Thanks guys
N2K do you know the P/N of the one they ordered for you?
Soft 02, does ESCO have a website. Maybe an industrial version would be better choice for a few bucks more.
