Not a big fan of using hydraulic jacks for working on vehicles. They should only be used for raising & lowering. I guess most hyd floor jacks are rated for 1.5T so a 120kg bike should be okay.
A mechanical jack is better as they don't leak down causing creep. My 2c

Sorry. I didn't realize that it didn't link directly. Click on the link, look for tech tips on the left, then under general, click on building a foot lift.

or









It works so well, I think I'll build a few more.

Its great. The not great part is the lack of welder

A welder is on my list. I have always wanted one now at 42 I am going to get one. But for this project upfront costs are less getting a stand or jack from the store.

Taking the time to make a new base plate for my floor jack would work I am sure. No as well as this though.

Nice job.

I saw those. Pretty nice and when you couple it with one of their sales and coupons pretty cheap.
