Abstract:
A portable tubular motorcycle lift is provided which utilizes a scissor frame configuration. The scissor frame includes an inner lifting structure and an outer lifting structure rotatably hinged about a common center fulcrum. An upper cradle support is attached to the inner and outer lifting structures. The motorcycle lift has a deployed configuration and a folded, stowable non-deployed configuration which allows the lift to be transported similar to a dolly. To provide the required forces to lift a large motorcycle, an articulated lifting system which includes a jacking device, lifting arm, and linkage arm, is integrated within the inner and outer lifting structures. Other features of the motorcycle lift include a bracing member, rear support section, removable ramp, well chock, remote jacking system, remote pressure release feature, and removable and positionable auxiliary jacking device positioned with the upper cradle support.
