We bought this to do something unusual for a motorcycle lift. We have an electric bed and my wife developed physical constraints that keep her from crawling into bed because the legs of the bed are too high and therefor the bed is too high. So I bought this lift to raise her up about 6 inches and it works great. I have a high torque drill and uses it to rotate the mechanism. It works well! But, one question I plan to write the seller is: Because we are not lifting up some thing that is centered, the lift developed a side to side looseness that I want to fix. I try to get my wife's feet in the center but the leaning load is taking its toll on the lift. If I was lifting a motorcycle I can't say enough good about it.
This is an amazing little lift
