a bike lift

[Okie Pete]

Here are some pictures of a bike lift i built . The floor is 2x4 aluminum that a neighbor had . It is flooring for a hog feeding floor that was never built. I used a car scissor jack for lift . I crank it up and down with a 1/2 drive ratchet . The wheel clamp is store bought. If i build another one i will use rectangular tubing. I used channel iron and it was wobbly . So i had to box the frame to make it rigid . Hope this is in the right place if notlet me know.

I think an impact would be much faster than a ratchet. Looks good.

That is really nice. Beautiful work. Looks solid. Your great grandkids will be doing their oil changes and tire swaps on that thing.

Grey Owl ,a impact does work but mine is slow and vibrates the table to much. A ratchet does not take a lot of effort and is smooth. Mike , thanks
