Motorcycle lift on epoxy

[ddewey78]

So, Now that my floor looks amazing? how do I keep my lift from messing it up? Any ideas to keep it from leaving marks from the wheels? I was thinking plastic tiles, or maybe some type of mat?

A piece of sheet metal or plywood should help, or call us we have some overstock Supratile solid PVC Interlocking tiles and will give you a piece or two no charge, just pay the shipping. You can easily cut it into squares.

That would be awesome. I am also considering doing tile for the motorcycle parking area, thinking a red and black, or grey and red checkered pattern. Im not completely sold in it yet though, so this will let me see what the tiles are like and if i want to do it, or leave the floor as is, kind of dont want to hide the awesome look of the epoxy!

I would get a transparent "plastic office chair mat" (google it)

Floor looks too good to cover it

Don't those mats have little spikes to keep them from moving on the carpet?

I have a Handy Lift and also did my floor in epoxy. I went with a race deck floor under the lift and have been very happy with it.

All of these suggestions are good.

what about hockey pucks for feet under the lift?

It moves while going up or down .

That certainly presents an interesting challenge.

Sell it, get the Harbor Freight lift? Instead of the scissor action, it's more a parallelogram action off a fixed base (well, the base is on casters, but the base doesn't move when you lift it).

I've seen the HF lifts, and I'm not too impressed, welds quality is hit or miss, thinner steel than I like, and non rebuildable rams. I know many have had great success with them, but I have enough money invested in my bikes that I prefer something a bit more substantial. I've also used mine to lift my 1200 lb sandrail.
