So I love fabrication, also motorcycles, and with my imagination can come up with some creative ideas. In this case I decided to combine the two things and now im kinda stuck. I started building a scissor lift for my garage that I could put a quad or cycle on, and either lift it to a comfortable height to work on or lower to the ground and wheel the project around the shop using castors secured to the deck. Seems like a good idea for a guy like me since I would use it constantly. I have the deck tacked together, frame built under it to attach the legs & castors to, and a pile of scrap material to use construct the rest, but cant come up with a sturdy leg design that can support the weight and is light enough for what im looking to do. My budget is slim and simular designs ive seen are either hydraulic which cost more than I can afford, or stationary set-ups. Any advice or ideas? Maybe some simular projects? All is greatly appriciated
Reply:Hi, Rooky.For a project like this it's a bad idea to start building before you have a drawing and you've figured out the critical dimensions on paper.
Reply:Post some pictures. I assume your stuck on the scissor legs? Do you have a picture of a commercial lift you'd like it to be like? Can you fit a small cylinder like what's used on an engine hoist into the design. They are cheap.http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/80047/10002/-1?CT=999Last edited by forhire; 02-28-2012 at 12:48 PM.Reason: Added cylinder URL
Reply:I bought a air jack cylinder for the table I built. Mine's not a scissor just a straight push but might work. As long as you have a compressor, you could use the same type cylinder. Think I paid around $150 for the cylinder. Attached Images |
