    The fitting kits fit both the stand and the sky lift so you would not need to buy new fitting kits, so if you bought the 1jac and 3 kits it would be nearly as expensive as the Skylift

    Likewise. I really got to get my life in order after seeing some of the switched-on set ups some members have.

    Just Googled cheapest area to live in UK and it comes up as Derby. Only 90 mins from here and closer to the Manchester Based Riders' Group! :)

    I am going to order a Clarke lift.
    I really need a bench type one as I can put my tools down and the parts etc. I do like the look of the Abba Skylift but its not really what I am after.

    Had one of these from eBay for around two years now and it’s never incurred any problems. My mate works for Machine Mart and has a Clarke one. We’ve looked at them both side by side and the only difference was the front wheel chock, the Clarke one being the better one. I modified mine a while back to a better one earlier in the year.

    Looks the same as the one I had, if it is the same as the Clarke it should be fine, mine looked the same in every way except the hydraulic ram, which although it looked very similar it was quite different.
    Mine was a few years old when the ram eventually failed.

    Well I held out and found one on the EBay, half hour from home and a bargain.

    Sealey lift.

    Nice one. I’d upgrade the front wheel chock for greater stability. I got one of these on eBay and it supports the bike with no rear stand, not that I’d recommend leaving it like that but gives you stability while you put your rear stand on.

    Only picked it up last night, had a play going up and down and it’s dead on.

    Have you got a link for the wheel chock mate?

    I have got the adjustable one but that looks much better.

    Had an Eazy Rizer ever since they first made them, brilliant bike lift either for wheels on or wheels off work, right up to engine removal. Must be 20 + years old and never had an issue with it, mounts on wall when not in use if space is an issue.

    I've got abba skylift and a ramp. I've just sold the ramp.

    If you get a ramp type make its long enough,
