Motorcycle lifts and jacks raise your bike off the ground for safe servicing, chain work and storage. This range covers hydraulic scissor stands, MX jack stands and lift table parts from Whites, La Corsa and States MX. Built for ATVs, dirt bikes and large road machines so you can wrench at a sensible height every time.
Choosing a motorcycle lift or jack
Capacity rating decides the right lift for your bike. A 680kg rated scissor jack swallows ATVs and large motorcycles with margin, while lighter MX jack stands suit dirt bikes under 150kg. Always pick a lift rated well above your bike kerb weight so the hydraulic ram and frame stay inside their safe working load.
| Type | Capacity | Lift action | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic scissor stand | Up to 680kg | Foot pedal hydraulic | ATVs, large road bikes |
| MX jack stand (H top) | Up to 150kg | Manual lift, damper | Dirt bikes, enduro |
| Lift table + accessories | Varies by table | Pedal or hydraulic | Full workshop service |
Stability and safety features
Stability comes from the contact platform and locking system. A 4 wheel kit converts a scissor lift into a rolling stand so a 250kg bike moves across a flat concrete floor with 2 fingers. Cycle vice rubbers protect the engine cases on left and right side mounts, and a damper on the H top stand slows the descent so the bike settles in under 3 seconds instead of dropping.
Mechanical lock pins hold the platform at a fixed height even if hydraulic pressure bleeds off over 24 hours. For chain and sprocket jobs, a 400mm lift height clears the rear wheel and gives clean access to the swingarm. Replacement foot pedal assemblies and vice rubbers keep an older lift table serviceable for another 5 years rather than scrapping the whole unit.
Frequently asked questions
What capacity lift do I need for my motorcycle?
Match the lift rating to your bike kerb weight with margin. A 680kg rated scissor jack handles ATVs and large road bikes, while an MX jack stand rated to around 150kg suits dirt bikes and enduro machines. Always pick a lift rated above your bike weight so the ram and frame stay inside safe working load.
Can I add wheels to a scissor lift stand?
Yes. A set of 4 wheels bolts onto a compatible scissor lift MX stand so it rolls across a flat workshop floor. This lets you reposition a bike for cleaning or storage without lifting the whole stand.
What is the damper on an MX jack stand for?
The damper slows the lowering action so the bike settles gently instead of dropping fast. It controls the descent in a few seconds, protecting the frame, your hands and the floor when you bring the bike back down.
