pretty low, I use 3" blocks on top of it to get some extra lift, so there is plenty of space[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I just got done using a big heavy duty cooler for the past two weeks and it worked great.

The other thing I have used is put the quad in gear and place each tire on top of 5 gallon buckets if you need to work around engine area.

 

The craftsman stand only requires about 4 inches to get under the quad....it has a foot pump so you can stop it at any time or height.

The 3 position locking they talk about is just a bar that can be latched at 3 seperate heights for extended lift use. You have the option of using it or not.

So far the lift has been great for my usage....I lift the quads and my dual sport with no problems. Very little wobble and the quad balances well. The lift also comes with straps if your nervous that your quad will be tippy once placed on the lift.

The only down side is that the lift itself is kinda heavy....somewhere around 70 lbs if I remember right. But a plus is that it is on wheels and has a handle....so if your garage floor is flat and crack free..you can spin or move the quad in a snap.

It does get in the way for an oil change though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] ........I guess if your creative with an oil catch can, you will still be able to do it.

And as mentioned above...you can use 2x4's or the like if you need more height.

 

Thanks!

I guess I am going to have to get myself one of these. It sounds like a nice peice of equipment.

One more question, who much room does it take up when not in use??? Will it store on its end, maybe up against a wall so it doesn't take up the whole floor???

 

Exactly.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Sure...the handle that you pull it around with is removable with a cotter pin....Mine is leaning up against the wall right now.

 

I put a hook in a rafter in my shed, then I just use a ratchet strap from the rear bumper to the hook.
