Wow! I love it! Reminds me of my own similar project for lifting motorcycles. I admire the idea of the dumptruck cylinder:thumbup:

I have this old ******* sitting on 2x4 directly on the trusses and on rubber maschine feets, the motor revs 1400 rpm. I have no problem with vibrations and the noise is very Little. No space problem in the garage, I know this is not a loft but this works for me. Regards: Jim The Swede

Thanks Oldmxracer! I built the stand for about 31 years ago just to make a quick construction for the moment, It is made of an rear swing arm from I think it was a Suzuki Ts 125. I was planning to make an more advanced one later on so this got only primer on. 31 years later, still use it, will...

My newly installed motorcycle lift was incredibly useful when lacing motorcycle wheels, I found it very ergonomic to stand and adjust the height when working and even when I was sitting on a chair:)
