Hi Fred
Can them bed frames be modified to get the start point lower to the ground?
I always crap myself getting the bike up a ramp.
Cheers

It would take a lot of work,450mm is lowest without work,I only used 5mm plate and 70x70mm box as it's a jig table I can fabricate off, otherwise I might of used plywood , I am welding outriggers on this for scaffold boards either side to widen it for abba stands and paddock stands,I know what you mean about the overbalacing ,

[fred]

finished of the fabrication work,moved front supports forward ,braced the main joining arm ,made a locking bar for different heights.solid with the bar locked .made a right mess doing woodwork planing it down , happy days

Looks to be a comprehensive workshop you have there Fred

Are you ever worried about the bike falling off

I'm going to make one of those cam front wheel stands and a couple of straps ,
