Presto Lift

[StromBusa]

Any one have any experience using one of these type lifts for working on bikes, quads etc..? I am considering this 4000 # lift, thinking about trade-offs, I will have a chance to floor recess in near future, else for now move about in garage. Will it just be a trip hazard or my new best friend?

I really like my drive on at $199 I did replace the front wheel vice with a HF wheel chock..

That looks sweet. It was only 200.00.

Who makes them?

you gotta watch for the sale and coupon... they are right now at $429 but they ran two 50% off sales on them last year.. you can also get their news letter that comes sends discount coupons (most are 25%)

I can get the Presto for 450 & I think it is a much higher cost unit. Your lift appears easier to move around however. Thanks!

It does have "wheels" and landing pads you put down.. A good number of the guys here have the same lift and it is really a handy unit and serves as full time parking for the bike for me..

What do you use to lift the motorcycle ramp? Pneumatics or hydraulic pump? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[Mr Bogus]

it has a hydraulic foot pump and release valve.. takes maybe 45 seconds to ride the bike on, foot jack it to the top.. They do make an air/hydraulic but I think it adds about $200 to the price tag..

Not bad. Ramp sure beats laying on the floor doing an oil change.

That's what I was thinking...I just park my arse on the cold concrete
and stand on my head (that makes for a pretty picture doesn't it ???)
