I've been looking for a simple work table that won't break the bank. This for me is the perfect solution. My garage floor space is limited, so I didn't want to permanent table taking up valuable floor space. This simple design is the perfect solution for me. My garage has high ceilings, so I was looking for something that when not in use and be hoisted to the ceiling. I've used a bicycle lift in the past and see no issue lifting this platform. I'm using material I already have and adapting to make it work. Thanks

G'day Mate, What a bloody AWESOME idea! I've already got it 98% built & I didn't even know it until I clapped eyes on your video! I built a custom rack to mount my cruiser in that can be mounted in the rear of a pick-up or box trailer & has a detachable ramp. I use it when I take the bike to be serviced or take it away on holidays so we have the luxury of a car & bike. I have the same type of bike lift, so I just need to make a few parts to hold my rack up on the lift and I'm done! WICKED!

@bigstinkie9 жыл бұрын
Interesting concept, but I wonder if it would be better to build a table that is as tall as this one is when it is raised up and construct a longer ramp and just push/ride the bike up there. It wouldn't require the jack, jack stands, pipes, etc. I have a Black Widow ramp (8' long X 40" wide) that will allow a bagger to be loaded into the bed of a 4X4 pickup, so table height would not be a problem. Build it out of 2X12s and 4X4s and you'd have a very sturdy and stable platform. (If I was to build one like I mentioned above I would probably make it wider so I'd have plenty of room to put my feet down during the ride to the top of the table.) When you're done you can move the ramp to the other end of the table and ride the bike off going forward...if the vise was removable, of course. I'm not disparaging the design of the table in the video at all. Great idea, but I think I'd prefer something that doesn't take so many steps and use so much extra equipment.

Mine is like this, but storable against a wall. I built it with a 2x4 framed top, 30" wide. 8' long. (with the extra plywood I made a ramp and cut a piece for the jack to rest on on bottom side), I used round conduit tubing on the internal corners like a jack stand. Jack it up, slide a pin through the tubing legs and rest platform on it. When not in use, it folds up against a wall taking up just 8" of depth.
@FranchiseSIX57 жыл бұрын
Oh, I also nailed two 2x4s together to make a 4x4 and that goes down the center lengthwise, as well as the center section where the jack goes, framed perpendicular for ridgity in the center. I also used some of the extra plywood to go across the ends so the legs are supported top and bottom. (hole saw tbem) The platform is relatively light and built like a rock. It supports my 650lb bike with ease

At times, I ride with flip-flops around town (avg. 10-40 mi./day), with cut-offs and tank top. Bucket helmet. Trick is to not leave brains at home, pass Safe-Rider's test even with over 68 years riding experience and most important with a bike... Don't Th' F**k Fall Off.... 'cause that's not the reason we ride. Not bragging, but I do ride full dress on out of state or long cross-country trips. Puhleeze, no statistics or lectures on % of "accidents that" happen 10 ft from home. It only proves that "lulled into false sense of security" is at work becuz of proximity", so the brains and awareness goes hasta la bye bye. Our morning news here in L.A. ALWAYS include at least one "motorcycle incident" on such and such freeway..... miles from the rider's home.... and in leathers and full-face helmets. I see 'em, so I can quote. Did I say I originally was born and raised in Hawaii? No lane splitting there, so pfffft!! Gotta LOVE L.A.'s year round riding.
