Ask the Editors: Jacking Up My UTV
We’ve used them with decent results but there is often the risk of damaging the UTV’s under body by lodging a jack plate designed for a car’s frame spar. The latest trend that seems promising are UTV-specific jacks. Motorcycle lift specialists Handy are bringing one to market that you may want to check out.
Called the B.U.L. (Big Utility Lift), theirs is designed to handle a whopping 2,500-lb. capacity and offers the option of loading from either end, making it the ideal choice for servicing the most colossal UTVs.
Dual detent bars work to ensure superior stability while four adjustable support bars with anti-skid rubber pads provide peace of mind for lifting wide loads. The B.U.L. rises to a maximum working height of 39” and has four stopping points, so you pick the height that’s best for your job. Storage is a breeze with this compact unit, with a minimum height of 9.5” and weight of 500 lbs.
A sliding oil pan is mounted under the lift top, which boasts a 27” wide working surface. The framework is textured black powder coating for added durability, so the B.U.L. looks good conquering every job. To preserve finished shop floors, we chose four phenolic wheels with serviceable roller bearings. Don’t worry about maintaining an air cylinder with this bad boy; the B.U.L. operates with an air bellows which requires zero maintenance.
