Harbor Freight?s made a decent name for itself for, among other things, its motorcycle and ATV/motorcycle lifts. A quick glance at the customer reviews-- not to mention independent bike forums-- will show Harley, Goldwing, dirt and Big Dog Chopper (to name a few) wrenchers across the country doling out praise for the garage equipment they?ve come to rely on.
Look deeper, though, and you?ll find ATVs and motorcycles are not the only things Harbor Freight?s motorcycle lifts are being used for?
Recently, on an auto parts forum,?a member shared how he used a Central Hydraulics Lightweight Aluminum Motorcycle Lift as a drivetrain jack for his 914.
Coincidentally, on a different site, another guy was asking advice on employing the lift for removing his Porsche 914 engine. But then, as a twist, a very different idea was offered in a product review:
This is about the perfect tool for working on clinical equipment and gurney wheels. It is easy to keep clean which is very important. Safer than makeshift methods using levers, work progresses better and it has paid for itself in time saved.
On Lumberjocks, a woodworkers? site, a member told of how he bought a table saw, but as his wife needed the garage space for her car, he had to find a mobile base. Due to high costs and lackluster reviews for what was out there, though, he suddenly had a stroke of necessary genius, and...
...instead, ?got a Central Hydraulics 1500 lb. Capacity ATV/Motorcycle Lift for the job. More than enough for the task, the lift easily maneuvers the shop equipment into a corner with plenty of room for the Mrs.? ride.
The ingenuity doesn't stop there. Another guy used his 1500 lb. lift to spruce up the office:
I bought this to lift and/or move office furniture so I could get carpet tile under the furniture. It worked beautifully and an incredible bargain compared to the alternatives. It allowed me to work by myself, saving me the cost of hiring a grunt. It lately has been used in a garage that I store materials in. Makes a dandy little pallet jack for my homemade pallets. Roll them under the shelving, drop in place, doesn't take up much room. Someday, I may try it on my bike. A very versatile investment. And unlike the grunt, it?s still with me.
Last (but certainly not least), is the Central Hydraulics High-Position Motorcycle Lift...
...which not only lifts furniture?it becomes furniture! In fact. TWO product reviewers discovered this to be the case?one using it as an adjustable work welding table and the other, a great portable workbench (?I have a table top that easily clamps to the arms. Extremely stable and very strong?). That?s not to say it doesn?t carry its weight. After a quick review, I found the affordable high-position lift is used for boosting riding mowers and lawn tractors, pressure washers, and snow blowers. And did we mention, it?s great for lifting bikes and ATVs?
?This is a very handy lift,? noted one happy wrencher. ?I easily give it 5 stars.?
