Motorcycle Lifts

Back in the pre-WWII days motorcycle work benches used to be made from wood, even in the HD factory, as old photgraphs show. Presumably, most of them were built in town by the carpenter around the corner, but if you were a motorcycle mechanic in the US Army and in the field, with no joiner around, you built it yourself, on the spot. To faciliate this, the army provided service manuals, which included a sketch after which you could build a workbench and after this exact sketch The Cyclery workbenches are precisely cut from glulam boards. All you need for assembling this kit are a few common hand tools. With a very detailed instruction booklet and all screw holes pre-drilled it will be a straightforward job.
Admittedly, this 100+ year old design does not perform like a modern table lift, but with a little help from a friend you can easily roll on or off your bike and the sturdy construction guarantees long-time service. Hard to imagine a more decorative piece in any traditional workshop or showroom.

The S.A.M. 1200 motorcycle lift table is the ideal solution for anyone looking to work safely and comfortably on their Harley-Davidson bikes and other heavy motorcycles. With a generous platform size of 213 x 61 cm, it offers ample space—even for large Full Dresser models up to 544 kg.
Thanks to pneumatic lift technology, motorcycles can be raised smoothly from a low access height of 20 cm to a comfortable working height of up to 99 cm. This allows even taller mechanics to work upright without back strain.
A removable rear section makes wheel removal much easier, especially for Harley-Davidson models with rigid frames or large fenders. The 51 cm long, detachable loading ramp is also included for safe and easy roll-on.
Whether for professional workshops, custom garages, or dedicated hobbyists, the S.A.M. 1200 is a reliable and robust tool for anyone working on heavy motorcycles.
