@@DoubleDMoto I've been thinking of getting one of those, but I have limited room in my garage (until I get my shop built) and this addresses it very eloquently.
That’s great idea for storage and simply solution for the sound deadening…had to scroll back through my history because it was an excellent video and I appreciate your time and energy to sharing it…keep it up…subscribed just in this video alone…thank you brother…be blessed
What a great idea. I have a single car garage and 2 bikes. When I am done using mine I flip it on its side and get it as close close to the wall as possible and have a 4x4 and a 2x4 screwed together to keep it vertical and to stabilize it. Waiting patently on your design plans for your dolly.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It is very helpful. I built something very similar to yours using a 2" x 12" as the base. The one suggestion I have for your viewers is to use longer pipes (at least the two in center). I used 4' lengths which provide greater leverage to lift the unit when attached to the base. It's a breeze to lift it into the storage position. Thanks again!
That is awesome! If you have an instagram please take a couple of pics and tag me so I can see and share if you don’t mind. Happy New Year!! instagram.com/doubledmoto?igsh=cnFjMmNidXQ4eTQz&
I’m considering buying this lift from HF. So I’m on the mission of recon, via TH-cam. I loved the video. Thank you for creating and posting, sir. Much appreciated.
@@DoubleDMoto Any chance you can create a video on how you put together that dolly? Or if you found plans for it somewhere, can you share? That's a great idea and would be a massive space saver for folks with small garages
brilliant idea on the storage idea. I was literally planning to build a set up that would allow me to safely tilt my lift to store it the same way! I think I will be copying this instead!
Right now my lift is in my basement. I am planning on building a shop and one of the things I am thinking about is to recess a hole in the floor for the lift. You can walk over it when the bike is gone and it is always there when you need it.
That would be interesting to see. My concerns would be the side lever’s sticking to far leaving a gap between lift and floor. Also the table part is not flat and could cause a trip hazard. This is assuming that you would use the harbor freight lift. Definitely different options out there, but would be interesting to see.
@@DoubleDMoto I am in Canada and we don't have harbor freight but we do have some thing similar. As to the deck height, I would put a piece of half inch plywood on it.
Nice, I just bought the lift, and these modifications look awesome. I've been wondering how I'm going to store the lift in the garage without taking up a lot of space, and your home-built cart will help me with that problem!
Yes, you are correct it, it has been out for a little bit. I do know it came out at least a year after I bought that my lift. Apparently it comes with the template the hardware which I think is really good for that price. The lift in that vice is one of the best things I ever bought for my motorcycle. Thanks for watching!
Excellent storage dolly idea. I'll have to build one myself. Get some downloadable plans available and I'm sure people would toss a few bucks your way for them. 😊
@@DoubleDMoto looking forward to it. I like the idea of a lift, but I’ve got limited space in my shop. Thanks in advance for getting to dimensions out here to us!
I would just worry about it rusting, but if no room I understand. I would like mine up all the time and ready. Unfortunately wife needs the garage too. Thanks for commenting and watching!
bro that's really good idea. I've got a 2 post lift for my cars and been thinking what to do for my bikes. A kendon "foldiing" table but that's like 1,300 and they are always out of stock. So i've been looking at this HF lift but thinking it'd be in the way all the time.
Personally I'd use the Condor or harbor freight wheel chock. I have a Condor and i can ride it in and get off the bike and it will stay straight up. Then you can tur it down.
I like the clamp style wheel chock as it is easier for me as I don’t have the longest legs. Trying to pull my friends road king out of those chocks is a complete struggle. Short people problems. 🤷
Certainly not a bad solution. There is an alternative for storage of this lift, it can be stored in the vertical position! When collapsed and tipped up on the end with the wheels and bottle jack (the heavy side down) it will end up flush on the end and stand securely against the wall. To say it another way, if you lift the front of the lift (where the front tire sets) when its collapsed, it will stay collapsed as you lift it up, then stack it against the wall. Secure it for safety but it will set securely like this.
WELL, NOT I GOTTA BUILD TWO OF THESE!!! Honestly a great idea! Got any sketches around on building it or should I just start doing the math myself? (That means taking off my shoes so I can do all the adding and counting!!!!) HA!!! Great idea!!!
Sorry about that 😂 I thought it was a good idea as well. Don’t have plans, but hoping to make a video as soon as a buddy gets back from active duty when I build his. Not sure when that’s going to be just yet.
I don’t at this time but I’m going to be building another for a friend when he gets back from military duty. I will be making a video showing everything. 🤞
The person creating them flaked out and never finished them. I will be building another one for a friend. I will make a video on it with all the information.
Damn. I just park the bike on it to save room. I bought my lift for $300 couple years ago. Best $300 I ever spent. I've added some of the stuff you did plus sandpaper strips for slipping. One thing I never see mentioned: I made some "steps" or long rectangular boxes. This is a must if you own a heavy bike like a gold wing or road glide. It gives you a place to put your feet when riding it onto the lift. Otherwise, it's unsafe. Good video
Thanks for watching!! That is definitely not a bad idea, I’ve seen some people weld the metal rams to the side for your feet. I really like seeing what mods people do to this lifts.
Planning on making a version of the dolly! What a great idea. Did you ever do up a set of "plans"? My lift is slightly different (Princess Auto in Canada) but I am curious how wide the plywood bases are... Looks like they are about 12" wide based on the 2x4s and the 3" wide flange. Anyway - dolly and mods are genius! Thank you for sharing
I hope it works out for you, the base width is 11”. Plans are coming soon, just need to finish them. I’m glad that this is helping so many people. You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
Well - finally got it done! My lift table is different enough that a set of plans would not have helped Instead of square tubing for a frame it is welded flat steel. But your idea gave me great inspiration! Thank you so much!
Well shit, thats a great idea. Definitely changes things. I was always reluctant to get one of these lifts bc I dont want to dedicate all that space to just a lift, So I stuck with just a jack. but my jack is on its way out so I was starting to search for one of those fold away lifts , but this is pretty slick.
It is definitely a space saver. I feel the same about dedicated space, this is why I made this dolly. Glad you enjoyed it, it is worth every penny. Thanks for watching!!
Man, hands down to you! Can I get feedback on modifications for a chopper bike? My thoughts are to add a plate at the front end, meaning an extension. My concerns are , will that throw the center of gravity off. This lift doesn't look like a chopper size.
Hopefully going to make a video about it soon. Building one for a friend, just waiting for him to get back from active duty. 🤞 The guy making plan flaked out and never finished the designs.
I have the very same lift. But when I got mine its air over hydraulic or you can use the foot pump. I dont know why they dont make it that way anymore?
I’m not exactly sure if the wood floor would hold up. I guess it would depend on the thickness of the floor and the size of and the span of the joists. I’m definitely not a structural engineer. Sorry I’m not much help on this. I appreciate you watching!!
@@PartyRockKing23 I screwed the rear plate to the lift as it liked to slide or move when putting motorcycles on and off lift. It is still easy to remove when needed. More of a safety feature.
Any chance you're planning to post a more detailed video on how you built your lift dolly? I'd love to copy your design but can't quite make out all the details and parts used.
Man, that’s what I need. I’d be happy to pay for plans or dimensions of the pieces to build one. I need it. No projects right now, just riding and want that beauty out of the way. Can you help? I don’t know how you figured it out but I wouldn’t do to well on my own. Mike
@@DoubleDMoto well I took a bunch of screenshots during the video. Maybe I will be able to figure it out if I just put the piece on the bottom and then stand up the lift and install the pipes first.
I have the Central Pneumatics motorcycle lift table from Harbor Freight, (the predecessor to the Pittsburgh) that came with the air/ hydraulic jack. After about 12 years of frequent use, the pneumatic pump gave out and I manually pumped it up for about a year. I eventually converted it to a hydraulic cylinder powered by an electric pump. It was a good lift. Now it's a great lift. I'm in the process of converting my other HF lift. Video on that one is forthcoming. Here's the link to the video on the mods I did. th-cam.com/video/T6eHjhZNkXw/w-d-xo.html
Nice video. Do you have a link for the door rubber/foam pieces you used to make the lift quiet when lowering it? I just got my HF lift with a Trakside roll on wheel chock for $150 total yesterday. The lift is in perfect (like new) condition. The guy I got it from priced it to sell as he is moving from CA to FL soon and already has lifts in FL and didn't want to take this one. Going to start upgrading it soon, so I'll check out the rest of your videos for ideas. Thanks.
I personally have not put anything heavier than 700 and it was solid. A friend of mine puts his road glide on his with no issues. I believe it is closes to 850. Only thing I would be careful with is letting it down slowly. With the heavier bikes it goes down very fast. Hope this helps.
$599 for lift ( as of 06/18/22) plus wheel chock ($267 for Condor) is $816. Derek Weaver lift (for example) , same spex, is 1k. Sorry, but don't understand why HF lift.
Yes I agree but the lift with coupon was much cheaper and I bought mine used. They have definitely went up in price in the last couple of years. I spend about 400 on lift and parts used. Harbor freight now has there own wheel chock as well (extra cost 79.99 I believe). If I didn’t find it as cheap as I did I would have bought one from discount ramps. For the prices now I would recommend spending the extra money and buying an air lift one.
I was very nervous putting my brand new beach cruiser on this rack. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxG6JIgwJhur8_Rg8UeQ3EmePzi_wSncL8 But after reading many reviews I decided to get this one and take a chance. When arrived it was very simple to adjust and put together. I also added spike tape over the metal hooks before securing and tightening the straps, and no scratches. I also purchased the top bar made by the same company so that my cruiser sits straight on the rack without having to turn upside down. Extra bungee cords are used to secure the front wheel from flapping and even piece of mind knowing your bike is secure. Definitely recommend...
You paid more for the clamp than the table. This tables are over $500. If you paid anything like $500 for a wheel clamp then they saw you coming brother. HF has one just like that and it's $79.99 lol. Anyway, back to the video.
😂 I got the lift for a 100 bucks of Facebook marketplace. No one saw me coming. I do my best to find the steals. I wish Harbor Freight had that clamp when I bought the other one. Same thing but a lot cheaper.
I agree there are much better lifts out there but some people can’t afford them. I paid more for the tire clamp ($100) than the lift. For a person who uses it everyday I don’t recommend this one but the ones you use it a few times a year it is a good deal. I will be definitely upgrading to a new air lift soon as I get tired of pumping this one up every time.
I've seen several of these HF lift improvement videos and this is the best one so far. The storage dolly is just genius!!!
Thank you!! I always tell people to work smarter not harder. The dolly has been a space saver.
@@DoubleDMoto I've been thinking of getting one of those, but I have limited room in my garage (until I get my shop built) and this addresses it very eloquently.

I personally have not put anything heavier than 700 and it was solid. A friend of mine puts his road glide on his with no issues. I believe it is closes to 850. Only thing I would be careful with is letting it down slowly. With the heavier bikes it goes down very fast. Hope this helps.
Good idea
Thanks!!
Thank you!❤ 😮
You are welcome! 🙂
How to make step by step dolly
Definitely thinking about it.
$599 for lift ( as of 06/18/22) plus wheel chock ($267 for Condor) is $816. Derek Weaver lift (for example) , same spex, is 1k. Sorry, but don't understand why HF lift.
Yes I agree but the lift with coupon was much cheaper and I bought mine used. They have definitely went up in price in the last couple of years. I spend about 400 on lift and parts used. Harbor freight now has there own wheel chock as well (extra cost 79.99 I believe). If I didn’t find it as cheap as I did I would have bought one from discount ramps. For the prices now I would recommend spending the extra money and buying an air lift one.
Excellent !!

I was very nervous putting my brand new beach cruiser on this rack. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxG6JIgwJhur8_Rg8UeQ3EmePzi_wSncL8 But after reading many reviews I decided to get this one and take a chance. When arrived it was very simple to adjust and put together. I also added spike tape over the metal hooks before securing and tightening the straps, and no scratches. I also purchased the top bar made by the same company so that my cruiser sits straight on the rack without having to turn upside down. Extra bungee cords are used to secure the front wheel from flapping and even piece of mind knowing your bike is secure. Definitely recommend...
Do tell?
I want that dolly.
It is not to hard to make one, maybe one day I can find a way to sell them. 🤷
@@DoubleDMoto I would buy one. Brilliant idea to save space in the garage.
@@loonatic7296 thanks, if I do end up selling them I will definitely let you know.

You paid more for the clamp than the table. This tables are over $500. If you paid anything like $500 for a wheel clamp then they saw you coming brother. HF has one just like that and it's $79.99 lol. Anyway, back to the video.
😂 I got the lift for a 100 bucks of Facebook marketplace. No one saw me coming. I do my best to find the steals. I wish Harbor Freight had that clamp when I bought the other one. Same thing but a lot cheaper.
Why would you spend all that money to make the lift what you really wanted to buy in the first place. Just buy the better lift.
I agree there are much better lifts out there but some people can’t afford them. I paid more for the tire clamp ($100) than the lift. For a person who uses it everyday I don’t recommend this one but the ones you use it a few times a year it is a good deal. I will be definitely upgrading to a new air lift soon as I get tired of pumping this one up every time.
One thing you haven't done with that lift is.........................used it.
You got jokes, it definitely gets used. It has been two years since this video was released.
Brilliant
