I am just wondering how much you guys would pay for a sled lift with a crank handle lift system not the dolly style with a max 1500 lbs lift, i also have a deck that goes on top so you could put an atv on it for working on the motor and so on
I tried to post pics of it but i am not allowed it says..
I am not selling mine but i have enough steel tubing to make about 150 of these as i have in storage from my old shop, i have been hurt at work and dont think i will be able to return to my job and i am going to reopen my shop as it is so if you can post your opinion that would be great, but dont bash me as i am not advertising these for sale on here

thanks for your input

maybe someone could help him post pics?....I am sure there is interest in lifts like this

You are not a new member so there is no reason you should not be able to post pictures.

What type of file is the picture - JPEG, GIF?? I am pretty sure the system will not allow you to post a BMP file.

What specifically is the error you are getting when you try and add the picture?

hey RR
for about the last 5 or 6 months every time i try to upload a pic it say "upload failed. please ask the administrator to check settings and permissions"
i dont know what that means also they are jpegs from my digital camara and the are roughly 55 to 70kb in size hope this helps

Okay - I see nothing on your account (without going into the Admin Panel) that would prevent you from uploading pics.

So - try this for me.

Click on "My Controls" near the top of the screen.

Click on "Manage my Attachments" on the left hand side under Options.

Delete your old attachments.

You probably have a bunch of old attachments using up your allowable upload space.

ok i did that but i only had one old pic in there but it is now empty and i will retry and will let you know

hey red rocket it just won't work
i think it just don't like me

email it to me at machz@verizon.net and ill post it up for you.

I had made my own in the past, not sure what the actual capacity is, but I used steel tubing, and a small boat trailer crank to work the lifting section. Mine was only really good for the sled, not an ATV, but if you made a multipurpose with 1500lb capacity, im sure people would pay some pretty good coin for it.

i sent them to you machz
Thanks

if you could make them for smaller trucks like s10's, sonomas, rangers, etc. that would be sweet

In the pics i sent to machz does not have the ATV deck on it as i screwed up my back and can't lift it will post them later
The lift is mad with 1X2 heavey wall tubing with with welding done by a certified welder wheel kit is rated at 1500 pounds and lift can be painted what ever color you wish

hold on i have to convert them to the right ext. thats why you cant post them theyre not the right ext.

Thanks Machz for what ever it was that you did but it worked

Thanks a lot



Ray

What extension where they??

Thanks for the help!


I will copy them and edit the first post and put them in there also.

it said they were jpeg but when i went to upload they were kicked out, i put them through my Binks! converter and they had some weird ass ext that i havent seen, it had % signs all through it, maybe corrupted jpeg file? i ran them through with jpeg as the output ext and all is fine.

Thanks for the info. Good to know it is not a problem with the forum.

no prob. thanks RR, for reposting so i could remove them from my attachments.

problems? with this site? NEVER i say! LOL

2-300 dollars?

No problems. This topic made me take a look at my attachments.

I have 146 MBs in attachments. Think I need to clean them up a bit.

As a Mod I have unlimited space so I never check. The downside is my inbox can hold 1000 PMs and has filled up more than once!

Thsnks for moving the pics
and i guess i need to figure out what is wrong with my files

did you resize them? it looked like you did and whatever program you used to resize with probably added its own little code to the ext and corrupted the file. try another resizing program there should be at least one or two of them on your computor

I used the resizing program that cam with my camra but i will try to use a differnt one thanks for the help

Ray

will it lift a YAMAHA??? $200bucks if it does, LOL

it is rated at 1500 pounds so it will be real close on on a yami lol

$150 tops....there are lots out there like this

get rid of the rachet crank and have it use a impact wrench...thats the kind I have seen and its much faster.... they run about $150

no offense but with the price of heavey wall tubing now 150 bucks barly covers the cost of the steel
but if you can build it for that i will just buy mine from you
even the low quaility lift at royal is 219.99 with a dolly system made with thin wall , and i am going to include a deck for your ATV if wanted and also can include the clamping system for a motorcycle again if needed or wanted

What is the wall thickness of that tubing you're using .060 .100 .120.....
I think around 200$ would be cheap considering the price steel nowadays.....

.145 in all tubing

I paid 175 from a asian guy in Markham that was selling them on EBAY. That got me .050 thickness steel. The bottom was 2 peices of steel per side with a sleeve for the inside to attache them. No wheels.

It works pretty good but I would guess not so stable if a wheel kit was added. Oh yea it was made in Tiawan.


I would think 300 for a more solid one that would also lift quads, lawnmorer etc is worth it. Especially with the thick steel you are using.

Don't forget to stamp the "made in canada!" logo on the side.

No offense taken...

but you did ask me "How much would I pay for it?"

not "How much do I think its is worth ?"

I am a cheap ass and would wait till it went on sale for $150 in your "End of Season Clearance"

you are to funny
how about we have a start of season before the end of season sale

200-300 range i think would be fair.

I have been looking for one for awile now.

and I would like to know where you can buy one for 150.00.??????????

I did see the ones on ebay BUT THEY ARE CHEAP

how much do you want for yours with the wheel kit.

dude without the pictures i thought you were talking about sled decks. I was wondering why you were talking about hand cranks.

LMAO my bad.

I just made one, and would gladly part with $250.00 for the one you made, I haven't found steel to be cheap yet!! Looks good!!

We pay $160 for similar ones from a local builder, but they use a drill crank/hand crank handle,,,, and to use on ATV's you just simply turn it sideways and put it between the wheels and use a double gear reduction 1/2" drill to lift, we have 3 in use here. Krazyzx9 on HCS bought one from us last year, built by the same guy.
Here's an aluminum one which is/was sold by Chopper City Sports in Fridely Mn. it was $300 about 12 years ago.

Anyone know of those 'systems' that can lift a sled and store one beneath the one othat is being stored?

There was a neat one that was shown on Snow Trax TV this season. You could use it for lifting a sled to work on it and to store one over the other. I don't remember the name and of course they didn't state the cost. I know, I'm a lot of help. Sorry ! It looked very cool though.

I found it!

I believe they had these at the OFSC Show last year...very nice...but very $$$!!!!

id like to see a sled on it to see how much room the crank has from the front of the sled, I know this has been a problem with some home made ones.

Here is mine - had to pay like $145 + Tax at an auction for it USED. I know a guy locally was making them for a bit and I believe he was charging around $300 (this was a few years ago)....

Yes now that i finaly got the shop back up and running I will be selling them for $275 plus $15 bucks for the wheel kit
