I have "The Complete Motorcycle Lift". Yup, that's its name. I'm getting tired of picking up one end of it to roll it around the shop and went to their site to look for a dolly.

http://www.completehydraulic.com/lifts-motorcycle-tcml.html

I don't see where they have one listed. Does anyone own one of these lifts (Scott Anderson) and what kind of dolly did you get?
I looked at these but wasn't sure if they will work on my lift.

Are they pretty generic? I'm surprised the people at "The Complete Motorcycle Lift" don't offer a dolly to go with it.

Hi Scott,
My older brother has either the same or simmilar lift. He used a dolly very similar to the ones on the links you gave. I do believe the second one looked more like what I saw him have. Good luck in search.

Get two of these.

Put one under the front and one under the rear floor contact points.

Instant easy rolling motorcycle lift.

Very Happy

Hey there MR. I can say that with my garage layout I haven't had to move it much. I have it right in the middle and can back my 3/4 ton siverado right over top of it with 1/2" clearance to spare.

With the drop door under the rear tire it's not easy to put something under the edge, as there isn't one. I thought about a 2x or something to span the gap and using my floor jack to lift the one end.

I can agree with you that man-handling will get to you after a while.

Can't say as I have been able to use mine in the last 5 months though.
Got married in Sep so the garage is full.(still have room the get the bikes in/out though, made sure of that Wink
