2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
space saving design maximises garage working area. With a low minimum height
of 65mm (without frame supports), it will lift and support the bike through a full lift
up to a maximum height of 740mm (840mm with frame supports). lockable in 2
positions for supporting the motorcycle for extended periods on the lift. unlike most
other motorcycle lifts, it is possible to remove both wheels, front forks, steering
assembly, rear swing arm and suspension units as well as the engine. this lift
also benefits from being portable so can be used anywhere on a hard level floor
thus making this suitable for mobile motorcycle mechanics. Ideal for use with the
sealey range of wheel chocks to assist supporting the motorcycle whilst adjusting
the frame supports and securing to the lift.
