Title: What do you guys use for quad stands?
Post by: switchrider on March 04, 2014, 10:30:53 PM

I'm looking to get a new stand, I want something that gets the bike a far ways off the ground so I don't kill my back all the time for general cleaning and such. What do you guys use?

I always wanted to install a air lift in the floor like the cycle shops have. The wifes car would park right over the top of it and when time to use it you hook up the air line and go.

I'm a old poor boy, so I use a 5 gallon bucket with the lid on at the races. Quickest & easiest thing you ever sat a 4 wheeler on & because of the cup shape to the lid, you can rotate the quad around like you want.
In the shop, I got a home made lift kinda like Fire1 has.
Used the big air operated type car bumper jack, extended the front part of the feet & lift part & made it into a table wide enough & long enough for a quad to roll up onto. Just hook the air hose up, press the lever & up she goes. Table sits just a bit lower than my waist belt.

Fire, that lift table, how long does it take to jack it up & does that big hole in the table come like that or you cut it in yourself.
Been intending to get one of those for a while now, add to the shop, but Harbor Freight is 55 miles away & dont trust my ol pickup to go that far.
Thats right, my ol pickups ragged, spit, pop, skip, bump & has the dark blue & gray "Ford Quality Job One" paint job on it with rust everywhere where the paints popped off :thread_hijacked:. One thing about it though, I dont have to worrie bout gitting jacked at a stop light, they hit them rich looking folks next to me.

I just use an old AC Racing aluminum X-stand.  It is a good height, but does require lifting the front of the atv up to slip the stand underneath.  It can also be tricky getting the "hooks" at the right spot for my bikes with stretched swingarms.

I like the bucket cause you can stack them and go higher. They also don't scratch your frame. I've been meaning to screw some legs on a bucket to make it more stable.
