The Clarke CML6 500KG Mechanical Motorcycle Table Lift provides a compact and affordable way for home mechanics to lift a bike's wheels off the ground. Available from Machine Mart for £95.98, it offers a professional workshop-style solution for tasks like tyre changes.

This scissor-style lift supports motorcycles with a capacity of up to 500 kilograms. It raises the bike to a maximum height of 400 millimetres, which is sufficient to clear both wheels from the floor. The platform includes two sliding 'U' shaped supports that can reach up to 470mm high to cradle a motorcycle's rear subframe tubes instead.

The lift can be used independently on the floor or paired with a dedicated motorcycle workbench. Its design aims to cover virtually all motorcycle weights for common maintenance jobs.

User Reviews and Feedback

Customers on the Machine Mart website have posted positive reviews. One user, Brian, called it a simple, strong, and stable bike jack. "For the jobs where you just need to get a wheel off the ground it’s ideal, it easily handled my Honda Africa Twin and BMW G650GS when they both needed tyres recently," he said. He described the lift as well-made and easy to use.

Another customer, Simon, noted its strong construction compared to other options he saw locally. He used it to support motorcycles during wheel removal and reported that everything worked as expected. Simon also praised the DHL delivery service.
