How do you get your trike up?

[Legns]

Okay so I was browsing here on the form and I saw someone had a trike up on what looked liked to be a motorcycle lift. Now my question is how stable are the trikes on those? I have seen guys using work benches and all sorts of thing to get there trike up in the air to work on. What do you guys and gals think works best and worst.

I stick a cinder block with a short 4x4 piece of wood on it to get the wheels off the floor.... other than that it stays on the ground. I suppose in a pinch I can use my three wooden ramps to put the trike into the back of the truck then back up to one of the stone walls on my property, and put the ramps from the truck to the wall and roll the trike out onto the ramps to be able to get under it.

Two milk crates, one for the trike and one for me to sit on.

jackstands are the best in my opinion

I've used a ATV lift with a milk crate under the front tire when I have the rear axle removed. I've also used dirt bike stand and jack stands with a milk crate under the front tire. Each option has a best application.

I have a quad stand (I think it was specifically designed for a TRX250R). It is basically just 2 aluminum "X"s held together at the top with two straps. It is very easy to get the trike up on it. You stand the trike up on it's grab bar, you slide the stand under, then you let it down on it. As the foot pegs catch the stand, it "hooks" on the back bar and rotates right up on it. Works great, and it gets it about 28" off the ground. I hate working on my trikes when they are on the floor, makes my back hurt just thinking about it.
