Anyone who works on their own bike knows the routine. Kneel on the concrete, lean the bike on a stand, crane your neck to see the chain, then spend the next morning stretching out your back. A car lift doesn't help much when the machine you ride has two wheels. That's why we added the Performance Hoist Motorcycle/ATV Lift to our lineup: a heavy-duty table lift that brings a motorcycle, ATV or snowmobile up to a working height that actually makes sense.
What It Is (and What It Isn't)
This isn't a lightweight bike jack. It's a 2,200 lb hydraulic table lift with a drive-on deck, built for everything from a sport bike to a full touring motorcycle, and just as useful under a quad, side-by-side or sled.
- 48" of lift. Roll the bike up the ramps, lock the front wheel in the chock, and raise the deck to a comfortable standing height. Chain, tires, oil, brakes and detailing all happen at eye level instead of floor level.
- A deck that grows. The main platform is 30" wide, right for a motorcycle. Two 15" slide-in extensions bring it out to a full 60" for four-wheelers, and each one rides on four pipe slides, so there's no flex with the wings in.
- Wheels off without unloading. Front and rear drop-out panels let you pull either wheel while the machine stays on the lift.
- Room for long bikes. The deck is 87" long, and the front chock panel extends further for extra-long motorcycles.
Made for Home Garages
The details that matter at home are the ones that keep it simple:
- Standard 110V power. It plugs into an ordinary garage outlet. No 220V line, no air compressor.
- It moves. A built-in castor kit lets it roll in any direction, so it can live against the wall and come out when it's time to work. The wide base keeps it planted once it's in place.
- Smooth and locked. The hydraulic cylinder raises the deck steadily rather than in jerks, and built-in safety locks hold it at height while you work. The control box is magnetic, so it sticks wherever it's handy.
- Ready the day it arrives. A motorcycle lifting jack, the front wheel chock, three drive-on ramps, and tie-down hooks with straps all come standard. If you'd rather clamp the front wheel, a wheel vise is available in place of the chock.
It's just as much at home in a powersports shop. A lift that rolls out of the way, plugs into a standard outlet and handles bikes, quads and sleds on one deck earns its floor space quickly.
Your End-of-Season Checklist, at Waist Height
On the Island a lot of bikes ride most of the year, but plenty still get parked when the fall rain settles in. Whether yours is going into storage or just getting its fall service, this is the work the lift makes easy:
- Change the oil and filter before storage. Used oil holds acids and moisture you don't want sitting in the engine all winter.
- Fill the tank and add fuel stabilizer, then run the engine for a few minutes so treated fuel reaches the fuel system.
- Clean and lube the chain and check its tension and wear while you can spin the rear wheel at eye level.
- Look over the tires for wear, cracks and pressure. Pull a wheel through the drop-out if anything needs attention.
- Check the brakes: pad thickness, fluid level and colour.
- Put the battery on a tender, or pull it and store it somewhere it won't freeze.
- Wash it, dry it properly, and cover it. Damp coastal air is hard on bare metal.
Sled owners can flip that list around for pre-season prep: track, skis, suspension and a fresh service before the first trip up the mountain.
Is It the Right Lift for You?
If you own more than one bike, ride an ATV or side-by-side, or run a shop that sees powersports through the door, it's an easy yes. Even with one motorcycle, getting the work off the floor changes how often you'll actually do it. Every lift we sell comes with SVI's local service across Vancouver Island and qualifies for $0-down lease-to-own financing through Lease Link Canada.
