Review on ๐Ÿ๏ธ VIVOHOME Steel Motorcycle ATV Lift Jack Hoist Stand with Wide Deck - 1100 lbs Capacity by Anthony Cayton

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Suitable for lifting light loads

I used it to install sliders on my RAM PowerWagon - each weighs 115 pounds. The platform was perfect for balancing the 9ft steel skids, making installation easy by one person. The 14.5 inch lift height was a little short, but it was easy to jack it up a few 2x8 seconds for the bridge. So far, so good. Now it's not so good. This unit is made in China and is not a precision unit as several other reviews have noted. Having read other reviews I have been very careful with tightening and lubricating all the connections - especially the worm gear bearing which is very cheaply made - be careful . Definitely do not use a percussion drive as specifically stated in the manufacturer's instructions. The handle is chunky but works without damaging the unit. This tool balances 115 pounds perfectly (pushers have a very low center of gravity) but rocked at full height . The base is just too narrow to safely support more weight with a high center of gravity (like a motorcycle...). I would seriously question the claimed ability to lift 1100lbs safely - the focus is on safety. This would probably work well for off-road and light road bikes, but not sure about durability given the low quality of the tooling.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • There are new competitors
