Reply:dude, hook that up to a remote key fob so you never have to let go of the handlebars throughout the whole move.you could build an attachment to the compressor to mount & wire the receiver,add a solenoid, you can keep it every bit as portable as it is now & even easier to use.you can use something as simple as this to control it :http://www.ebay.com/itm/180729665454...#ht_500wt_1263you can use a solenoid like what's used to raise & lower an air suspension on a car. will fill in one direction & release in the other.... plug the compressor in, plug the hose in, then on the remote press A to raise, B to lowermiller 330a bp TIGmiller dynasty 200DX TIGmillermatic 185 MIGthermal dynamics cutmaster 101 plasma cuttersnap-on YA5550 plasma cutterhypertherm powermax 30 plasma cutterbaileigh CS225 cold sawetc....

Reply:so how do you hold the bike while disconnecting the hose & sticking a key in the valve to lower it?yeah key fob is pretty chinzy no doubt but I bet it would do the job fine for years with the limited use it'd see. a wired pendant may be better suited for you maybe...Last edited by turbocad6; 10-28-2011 at 01:17 AM.miller 330a bp TIGmiller dynasty 200DX TIGmillermatic 185 MIGthermal dynamics cutmaster 101 plasma cuttersnap-on YA5550 plasma cutterhypertherm powermax 30 plasma cutterbaileigh CS225 cold sawetc....
Reply:That's great BC!You gotta install an under the hood air compressor & airlines like a semi for that bad boy!Buy American, or don't whine when you end up on the bread line.

Reply:That is a nice ramp. Thanks for the video. Any reason you opted for pneumatics rather than using a self contained hydraulic cylinder like you'd find on an engine hoist?

Reply:Put a tee and a small ball valve in the line, then you can dump the air without fumbling with the hose connectors.  Pretty slick setup you have there!"The man of great wealth owes a peculiar obligation to the State, because he derives special advantages from the mere existence of government."  Teddy RooseveltAmerican by birth, Union by choice!  Boilermakers # 60America is a Union.
