OTC 1545 Motorcycle Lift Review

Obviously solid construction. Lowers more than most lifts for easier access under low-lying vehicles. The heavy duty casters and carrier inspire confidence when used on my 900lb+ Harley Road Glide. Only gave it 4 stars for stability as this type of lift is inherently a little wobbly - more so than a full size garage lift. Just spend a few minutes checking the best placement points to raise the frame and no problem. Some find that the jack is lowered too quickly. I managed to tighten the oil…

There are no problems with lifting and stability, all parts have arrived, assembly required, it is easy to assemble. BUT! The design of the foot pedal and the type of valve used in this Chinese hydraulic jack makes it almost impossible to control the rate of descent. Lack of control makes movements very shaky and jerky. I called tech support, they had never heard of such a problem, they offered to replace it with £95, I decided to keep it and fix it myself. I designed and built a manually…

Jack received in good condition. There were reviews that the assembly instructions were not very good. This part is correct, there are no assembly instructions. In this case you need to collect four parts. Pump jack to base, jack retainer, foot pump lever and handle. A 9/16 inch wrench and pliers will do. Honestly, if you can't assemble it, you probably shouldn't be using it. It's a good product for the price. I basically wanted a 3 1/ 2" floor height. My wife's HD Fatboy is unobtrusive and…

Hello, I would like to return this jack for a full refund. Due to personal and health reasons, I was unable to fit this motorcycle/ATV jack a little over a month ago (February 2021). When I first used it I was able to raise the bike up and then lower it to the locked position. The jack then wouldn't come out of the locked/stop position, so I had to use another jack to raise the front end high enough to get the bike off the jack. Examining the jack, it rises when pumping, but when I stop, the…

I have a 2020 Indian Scout and this lift works great! There are no assembly instructions as others have written. Use an illustration of the exploded parts and a little imagination - it took me about 20 minutes to assemble and a wrench. And as noted by others, it takes a light touch (and, for me, a hand on the wheel) to lower it. But hey, bikers know how to change foot pressure - we do it with our brakes all the time! The package arrived in excellent condition. It's quite heavy and big, so it's…

Nowhere in the description I could find does it say it can't lift a tricycle (just need something for detailing and cleaning). The motorcycle weighs 1300 kg. After 9 days of waiting for the delivery, he appeared. I unboxed it and it looks sturdy and nicely designed. The problem is that when it's under the Tri Glide to the rear wheels, so it's still on the frame, it doesn't lift the bike evenly in the slightest, the front wheel was at least 5-6 inches off the ground. with rear wheels not rising…

Talk about a brick crappy house lift! This thing is as reliable as it gets! I got a crate lift and struggled to get it inside. he's very heavy! I assembled it indoors since it was about 95° outside, but I digress. Assembly was easy; Install the jack and foot pedal (3 screws total), then the support rod (cotter pins), and finally the handle bracket (2 more screws). I'm ashamed of those who claim the instructions are lacking as I haven't even looked at them. (Aren't you buying that lift to work…
