Bike lift

[meintjiesj]

In the market for a bike lift table for GS1200 LC. Can anyone tell me what the width is of the centre stand please or what width table is suitable.
Thanks

Bought the Clarke CML3 - https://www.sitebox.ltd.uk/clarke-cml3-foot-pedal-operated-hydraulic-motorcycle-lift-oclarke_7610143, best price was on this site. Delivery was quick and lift takes the GS comfortably. Wide and long enough to get bike onto centre stand. Ramp is also long so not difficult to wheel the bike on.

I have a Sealey MC454

Bought it when I did the valve clearances on the K12, and fixed a leak. It would have been a whole day kneeling on a cold garage floor without the lift

Altho it has castors, I definitely wouldn't try to move it with a big bike on...

The SCISSOR action is fab, because it raises and lowers in its own footprint - glad I didn't get a "parallelogram" one...

Worth its weight, makes bike maintenance so much easier. I use it as a bench for other jobs too, like servicing the lawn mower

I bought one of these from Martyn’s bargains last week.
It’s the same lift as some other rebranded ones at 1/2 the price.
It knocks spots off the sealey/ machine mart offerings .

Looking for a bike lift for my GSA. Currently the bike gets lifted onto a motor dolly but with my bad back i cant lift it up any more. Want an electric / Hydraulic bike lift which is easy to ride onto, can lift and has dolly wheels so i can move it around. Does such a thing exist?

Hi Grantmac,
I recently bought a Bursig bike lift from a lovely chap on this forum, once I bought the adapter bush for the frame ( which comes with a new one ) was easy to set up and a brilliant bit of kit.
Easy to fit and secure. Can move the bike anywhere easily in the garage.
Expensive, but the best options often are.

I have to reverse my bike into the garage without enough room to rotate it once it's in. Will any of these work with the bike being reversed in. They all seem to lock the front wheel.

The Bursig lifts both wheels off the floor, so yes it would certainly do the trick.

I have now removed the front wheel lock, rubbish and of no use.

Yes I bought the parallelogram one from a company locally and is about the same as the Sealy but in blue. Not happy with it so it sits at the back of the garage now i unused. Have given up on the lift and back to my little dolly mover which works fine. Having the auto height adjust in the new GSA makes it getting the bike in or the dolly quite a lot easier than with my old 1250 and now it swivels on the spot and I can turn the bike 90 degrees to get it side on in my garage
