What do you all use for Lifting your trike?

[Twilight]

To those of us that use stands or lifts to work on the bikes, what do you use?

[dcreel]

Milk crates work great. I also have an FMF bike stand that works well. I have also used jackstands under the rear axle on either side of the trike.

[Mr_RPM]

we use crate bottoms (from dads work as they get new sleds and stuff) on top of milk crates

or use pallots with milk crates under. maybe with plywood over it.

There are hydraulic tables and want not, but I just make wooden stands for them.

After all, about all a Honda needs is an oil change and an air filter cleaning :D

milkcrates or if i have a nice size log that.the log worked better for me.more stable and strong..also i used a 5 gallon bucket when i did the top end and swap on a couple blasturds...

I use this on my 350X http://www.jcwhitney.com/motorcycle/atv-hydraulic-lift/p2010895.jcwx?filterid=c21483j3

I use a lift strap around the foot peg/frame, a come along and a empty 55 gallon barrel.
I have a short chain that I put around one of the garage roof rafters. Been doing it this way for a mighty long time now and have had no problem with any trike including the ultra heavy Polaris 3 wheeler.

I just drive mine up onto a round tube frame picnic table.
Plenty of places to sit and you can drag the whole thing into the sun or shade since the tube legs are round

[Xhumeka]

I just get this guy to lift it up and hold it for me :lol:

I built a platform that slips over the saddle on my floor jack(it's a good sized one). Once the wheeler is all the way up, I run tiedowns from four points down to the jack and pull 'em tight. I't pretty stable and I can wheel it around the shop using the jack handle.

thats what i need to start using.getting too old for the milk crate.hunched over for too long makes me pay now.

[TheRealFatShady]

I use this guy to lift all my trikes...and bikes and quads, and anything else I need moved.

When I do a build from scratch I strap it from the rafters , that way theirs nothing in the way from me working on the bottom side if the trike .
