Don’t buy the first one. I had one and it failed, dropping my 2018 FLHTCU. BUYER BEWARE!!! I would not trust any of that style to put my $20000 piece of iron on, period. The only one I’d consider is the last one.
Is the power built jack the one to use? Would anyone use the third scissor jack? I was thinking of using two of these for front n back and lifting both at same time . Would that work on a Softail? If not what jack do you recommend?
just use 1 dude .. its 40 cm wide 80 cm long aprox .. just find the balance point and you are done and set to go if you want to anchor it down .. get a plate to place the jack on .. screw in from eye bolts to anchor to .. and lift the bike then lock it down .. and nothing can go wrong :)
So, in your review you say “1000 lb capacity” on a lift. Can’t be used for dirt bikes, or atv’s… lol You think a dirt bike is heavier than a Harley… lol You need some schooling, friend.
For sure. I think this is one of those videos created by AI and not a person. And the first few jack all look the same, just a different name on it. I’d only use one of these for about 50%-60% of the rated weight just to be safe.
Question for you - can't seem to find anyone who's done this... I have a big bike, and i've used similar brand as the Extreme Jack no problem - i have the front wheel in a guide, bike on bike platform, and put the jack under the center frame to raise it a couple inches to level (and i use straps on the front engine guards to keep it stable so no issues there. I do have a question, now that i have a low profile car, my 2014 Camaro - which has a "pinch weld" where you'd put a jack. I'd like to put those "Jack Pads" on the pinch points then use a pair of these (one on each side of the front - to raise the car 10" so i can do oil changes. Since these motorcycle jacks support 1100 lbs, then 2200 combined is way more than necessary to raise front of the car off the ground. What do you figure?
Adding multiple jacks does NOT increase the load capacity. They are still 1100lbs jacks. Think of it this way...having 100 of these together does not mean you can lift 110,00lbs. When using MORE THAN ONE JACK to lift a load, EACH jack MUST HAVE the SAME LIFTING CAPACITY of the ENTIRE LOAD being lifted. If you can, buy a floor jack with jack stands for $100 or so. Or, if funds are tight, buy 2 jack-stands and use the jack that came with the car. I personally don't like using those car jacks but it's better than nothing.
That is not entirely true. More jacks can absolutely increase load capacity. Kind of like when you get your friends to help move your couch- can't lift it yourself, but with more of you it's possible.
3 years ago but it’s 2024 😅
How is it the best lifts for 2024 but the video was made 3 years ago?

Did you use the power built jack?
How did it fail?

How does the bike balance on these scissor jacks?
Same question they dont look safe
Will the power built fit under a Softail?

I’ve got an Africa Twin crf1100 but that’s only about 500 pounds wet
