Gents and the few and far between Ladies,
I want a bike-lift. I've got an idea on how to make my own using my trolley jack, but I just stumbled across this one:

Sadly it can only carry 135kg. Our bikes weigh well under £200kg, but still weigh too much. (Might be that our bikes are too low too!).
I was wondering if there's any idea entertaining the thought of buying one of those lifts, and then strengthening it to carry our bikes? If there is, where do you think it needs more beef? My thoughts are that the scissor mechanism needs to be strengthened in the sideways movement.
Any ideas appreciated!
