ATV & Motorcycle Jacks

Motorcycle/ATV Jacks and Lifts
by J. Rex Brown

Working on a motorcycle is something most riders enjoy. But some jobs can be a real pain if your bike doesn't have a center stand or you need raise the front end. For these jobs a real motorcycle jack is the best bet.

Omega's jack will lift up to 1500 pounds of bike or ATV over 16 inches off the garage floor. The jack is wide enough to keep things stable even if you have to use the "hammer wrench" on stubborn axle nuts.

• Safety lock mechanism for safe support
• Rubber padded lifting platform- prevents scratching and protects your frame
• Non-slip foot pedal allows for easy lifting
• Foot pedal operated hydraulic unit
• Tie down strap

I shopped around and was about to buy a cheapie from our local China Wholesale tool store. After comparing the quality it changed my mind. Besides, what's the point of saving a few sawbucks if you drop your pride and joy? Or worse yet, injure yourself?
