Perfection!! Can you get a little more detailed? i.e. the rail against the wall; what is the design, the lock mechanism etc... Like everyone else has exclaimed about your build, this is absolutely the best I have seen. Your HIRED!!!! :)
The track is made of 5 pieces of flat stock. It's the front plate with the holes for the safety latch with two other 6" flats welded to back side, the whole length, that are sandwiched between 5 studs in the wall. One stud in the middle and two on each side then bolted together all in one sandwich. I used a stud to space them when i welded those on. Then the two other straps that you see are welded to the 6" pieces going the whole length and are there for the bearings of the train to run in. Those are just screwed to the studs with small cabinet screws and they aren't really holding any weight. They are spaced back from the back side of the front plate to the size of my rollers because you need a track that will hold both directions. The top rollers will be pushing out and the lower rollers will be pushing back into the wall as it goes up and down. There are also rollers that hold the train from binding left and right that run against the sides of the front plate (upper and lower, both sides). If you don't have a safety latch this track really doesn't have to hold any weight it just has to act as a track and could be made more simple. As soon as you latch the elevator into the track it instantly has to hold all of the weight of the elevator and whatever you have on it. Kinda tough to describe. Hope this doesn't confuse the situation.
That is a truly impressive, versatile, well thought through and executed lift. The best compliment I can offer is that you've inspired myself and others to build something similar.
When I first saw you put your bike on the original lift, I said to myself, "" how is he gonna work on the other side of the bike ? "" After watching you add the attachments, and adding the other lift, I said to myself again, "" this guy and me MUST be related "". Because we both have a love for inventing things to make work easier for ourselves. You get a A+ .
I am so impressed with your lift, it is so well thought out and all the functionality you built into it is amazing, it also looks like your safety system works well.
I'm a retired Elevator man (did installations and Modernizations for 34 years), I'm going to have to say, "Job well done" I'm in the planning stage of a new workshop with a lift that is going to look and work just like yours! It's a cantilever elevator.
This lift had to take a lot of thought to cover all the bases, I don’t see any glitches and it flow flawlessly. To be able to store the bike in the attic is another level of ingenuity. You is the MAN. Great job.
Genius lift! I’m going to be finishing off the inside of my shop and adding storage in the attic...I’ve found the lift I want for it...thanks for the great video
Man this is some next level ingenuity! It's so great to be able to have an idea and be able to implement it. I will never regret learning to work with metal and it will always be a passion. Motorcycles too!! They are safely outta the work space up there. Nice work man, really inspiring
You have put safety in every aspect of it! That is something you don’t see in DIY designs. The subtly in some of the safety designs. Just beautifully well designed all around.
That looks great I’ve been looking for a lift kind of like half a car lift but for 2 motorcycles. So that I can lift them up enough to get the hood of a car underneath them. I’m amazed there isn’t something purposely built for Motorcycle storage. I live in western Canada so riding season is 6 months the rest of the time the bikes are in the way of winter stuff like snow blowers and shit 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ great design if I could hide motorcycles in the Garage Attic the wife would surely divorce me 🤣🤣🤣
As a welder and fabricator of over 30+ years, this is the most amazing lift I've ever seen. I've built a few in my time but nothing like this. Not to mention how many different ways you can use it. You should be proud of the work you've done 👍👍. I just wish I had a set of plans so I could build myself one. Again great job.
The best lift I've seen on the tube yet! Great engineering and build, thanks for sharing with all of us, ...I'm not used to seeing such an uncluttered shop, really!
Amazing, ultimate dream garage for me. I have more vintage motocross bikes than Harley/ streetbike stuff but gaddamn this would suit me perfectly!!! Great ideas,thank you for sharing!!👍✌
Amazing work, I love it! My attic doesn't allow for storing motorcycles but I'm moving my workshop in the basement and have been thinking of a lift like this instead of the stairs we have in the outdoors stairwell.
This is soooo awesome. I’m in the middle of a garage build and was wondering where I would put the motorcycles I own ….. this video solves this problem. Great clip brotha!!!!
I am going to be building out a shop soon. I have watched every garage elevator video I can find. This is by far the best elevator on youtube (that I have found so far). I don't think this design can be beat. As others have said, you inspired us. I can't wait to build this, thanks again for posting the latch video also.
Thanks! Everyone that reads this should go check his video out. Maybe a better solution for your situation. Really good quality video and very well explained!
An excellent lift that appears to be designed well both for efficiency and safety. Thank you for sharing your video. It inspires me to try to construct the same design for my garage. I'm sure you have thought of this, but if you plan on doing more videos such as this, the audio of your videos would be better if you wore a microphone of some sort to capture your voice. There were spots in the video where your voice faded out. Thanks.
I was hooked and completely impressed before the attachments came out! Patent that sucker along with your attachments and take build to orders. People will flock to it. Hell I damn near pulled out my credit card within the first 30 seconds of the video praying for a buy now option!
This video came up in my recommendations, I clicked on it because of the little bobber in the thumbnail, I got to tell you this one is way nicer! nice bobbed sporty you got right there! is that an 883 coverted to 1200? Sorry, I had to fast forward the video to get to the bike, nice man!, really nice bobber!.....oh! cool lift too!
The one on the elevator video is a 1994 1200. Check out my other videos for some more bobbers. The blue one was a conversion to 1200. The rest all started as 1200's. Here's a compilation video of most of the bobbers I've built. th-cam.com/video/nur8GXOk1hY/w-d-xo.html there's a couple xs's in there too. All the bikes are individually videoed as well on the channel. Thanks man! th-cam.com/video/nur8GXOk1hY/w-d-xo.html
Reading through your comments, you mention you have no plans. I work on bikes also and this be perfect. I would like to see how you built all of it in detail Thanks

This one wins ALL of the DIY elevators I have seen yet!
That is a truly impressive, versatile, well thought through and executed lift. The best compliment I can offer is that you've inspired myself and others to build something similar.
That's the goal here. To inspire others!!! For sure!!!! Thanks. I really appreciate your kind words!

Ha. Thanks for watching brother.... maybe from another mother. LOL

Wow! Thanks! That’s quite a compliment coming from a elevator man! Appreciate that more than you’ll ever know!
Best DiY lift on youtube thus far.
Thank You!
Best lift I've seen. That would have made a great build video. Attachments are awesome.
Yea. That would have been a great idea.
Best shop elevator I have seen yet.
Thanks!
Now, this is damn special. Excellent. Looks extremely heavy duty, not some kind of Mickey Mouse contraption, this is a serious machine. Well done !!!
This lift had to take a lot of thought to cover all the bases, I don’t see any glitches and it flow flawlessly. To be able to store the bike in the attic is another level of ingenuity. You is the MAN. Great job.
Thank you!
What a great design. Thanks for sharing this.
Best DIY elevator I have seen yet. Good thinking on the safety latches and the adapters…!!👍
Thanks!!!
Genius lift! I’m going to be finishing off the inside of my shop and adding storage in the attic...I’ve found the lift I want for it...thanks for the great video
Thanks Man! Good luck with your lift. Glad this video helped!
Man this is some next level ingenuity! It's so great to be able to have an idea and be able to implement it. I will never regret learning to work with metal and it will always be a passion. Motorcycles too!! They are safely outta the work space up there. Nice work man, really inspiring
Thanks man! It was for sure one of the best things I've done to my shop. Turned out perfect and I wouldn't change a thing.
That is definitely a squared away garage. How awesome
Best idea I’ve seen in a long time , now it’s time to go subterranean!!
Hell yea
Very cool, make more use of attic storage. I'll have to copy this in my shop build. I've saved this video to my favorites.
That is by far the best lift I’ve seen on utube! Amazing job man!
Thank you!!!!
Damn brother you f**kin ROCK! You build a BADASS bike and the gear to go with it.
Thats one of the greatest ideas I've ever seen. Thanks for showing that lift. Best wishes from Germany
Thank you so much! Best back to you!
You have done a great job buddy 🤝. You have given me great ideas ! Cheers from Greece 🇬🇷
Thank you and cheers back to ya!
You have put safety in every aspect of it! That is something you don’t see in DIY designs. The subtly in some of the safety designs. Just beautifully well designed all around.
Thank you!!
Awesome job with that!!! Well planned and executed!
Thanks a bunch!
time for a Beer, awesome lift
Einen großen Respekt für diese super Idee.
Da macht das schrauben Spaß 👌
Ein Traum von einer Werkstatt.
Grüße aus Deutschland.
By far the best thing I've ever seen on TH-cam. Well done sir
This is really cool. I like the fact you can use it for multiple things and it's not in any way IN your way.
Yea. Thanks! Even when I have a bike on the bike attachment… I can raise the bike to the ceiling and use the space underneath. 👍
That looks great I’ve been looking for a lift kind of like half a car lift but for 2 motorcycles. So that I can lift them up enough to get the hood of a car underneath them.

Well, that’s the coolest garage lift I’ve seen.

I was working on a shop myself, this gave me some ideas, excellent job maestros
Sickest set up ever.👍
Amazing work, I love it! My attic doesn't allow for storing motorcycles but I'm moving my workshop in the basement and have been thinking of a lift like this instead of the stairs we have in the outdoors stairwell.
Go for it!
What an excellent use of design & space
Thank you!
Inspired. Well done. Love those Sportys as well.
You did a very impressive job. Shows a lot of thought and ingenuity. You also keep a nice shop.
Appreciate that!
Nice set up. Maybe most of the attachments could be stored within the elevator deck itself. Great job.
That is genius! Great way to hide all the extra bikes from the wife 🤣
👍👍
Wow man that’s rad!!! I’m Blown away with this.
Thanks man!
beautiful bike ... nice elevator
Great job. Your idea fixed a problem I was wrestling with. Limited space.
Remember those "Real men of Genius" Budlight commercials?....here's to you "bad ass hoist in garage guy!".
I’m not worthy, I’m not worthy! Lol thanks man

Very slick idea. Well thought out!

May do a video on that soon! Thanks
I was hooked and completely impressed before the attachments came out! Patent that sucker along with your attachments and take build to orders. People will flock to it. Hell I damn near pulled out my credit card within the first 30 seconds of the video praying for a buy now option!
Haha. Thanks for the kind words man!
WOW are you an engineer by trade? Excellent design and the add ons are first rate !!!
No. Barely graduated high school. Lol I did grow up on a farm though. 😃
Dude that is bad ass !

That’s my dream project!! I have thought the same design.
Great minds think alike!!!!!!
Do you mind sharing the diagram of the trolley system? Or a closer picture of how you put it together what type of bearings you used ect.
Sweet shop, clean and organized must of all customized. I'm jealous lol damn it!
Thanks! I really appreciate that!
Very nice.. well done. Thanks for posting.
Thank You!!!
