PowerZone 380047 1700 LB Hydraulic Motorcycle/ATV Jack

Very happy with this jack. the square tubing makes it stiffer and more stable than others.It hasn't leaked a drop of oil since I replace O-rings.

I received my PowerZone lift this afternoon (5 Feb 2014). It is a superb product! As in other reviews, the directions are not that great but you do not need them as there are only three items to assemble; the bottle jack, the bottle jack connection to the main beam, and the stop bar. All you need is a small adjustable (crescent) wrench and a pair of pliers/needle nose pliers for the cotter pins (or, as the directions say, "cotton" pin. LOL!).The lift pads are right at 4-1/4" in height from the floor, which is great as my '07 Sportster Custom's frame sits at 5". The site description states 4-1/2" as it probably adds in the steel knobs that are at the ends of the lift arms. Compared to many other jacks (including Black Widow, OTC, etc.), it gets down to a great level that makes it easy to fit under your bike or ATV.I am very happy with the product and have nothing negative to say about it (unless you want to consider that it is made in China). Nonetheless, it is well-constructed. It is distributed in the USA from a company in Chino, CA.If you have any other questions about this product, please use Amazon's "Ask a Question" on the product page and I will reply as soon as possible. Enjoy, and be safe! Straussjoe

It did what I needed to be done. Lifting an 800 pound bike heartbreathing.

I gave this Five Stars and have just put it into service. If things go south I will let you know.From the time I took it out of the box, assembled it, and jacked up my V-Strom 650 took just under 10 minutes. Then I read the directions and I just made one slight mistake, toward the end of the manual is a picture and I had the handle aimed slightly downward and they showed it more upward so I made the change (with it facing downward I had noticed that it seemed to get in the way of jacking the bike up but is now solved). All and all, assembly is very simple and all you need is an adjustable wrench and a knife to open the packing.I attached to cloth straps to the jack frame so I could attach a support around the bike. (When I have my phone handy I will take some photos and submit them if I can.

This is an extremely nice product. Goes together fast, rolls on the garage floor easily and raises and lowers very well and predictably. Hard to believe the quality you get for the price you pay, particularly if you have Amazon Prime free shipping. I use this for an ATV. Added a couple of 2x4's to raise the working height a bit (depending on your bike, it may only raise the vehicle a couple of inches, but try to find one that goes much higher than this for less than 3 times the price). Once raised the vehicle seemed very stable, but I felt better strapping it down anyway (doesn't come with its own straps - didn't bother me because I have a bunch of them). The foot pedals are easy to reach and use and the lift lock looks like a sturdy and well designed mechanism. All in all, this was a great purchase. Highly recommend to friends and family.

First off this jack does appear to be well built and strong. If it actually fit my motorcycle I would probably keep it.The problems I had with this jack is:1. The directions are not very clear as I had to read each step and then look at the picture to determine what and where the step was reffering to.2. The saddles (pads/arms that go under the motorcycle) are to short for my bike. They are 11" long and my motorcycles frame width is 12". Amazon and/or the company NEEDS to put the length of the pads/arms in the product description as this is VERY important information for the prospective buyer.3. The swivle wheels do swivle but not very easily. My guess is there is just not enough weight on those wheels to make them function properly. I think they MAY work if there is more weight on them like if my motorcycle is actually up and on the jack but I was not able to test this as the jack does not fit my bike.4. The minimum height of this jack is 4 1/2". The ground clearance (height of my motorcycles frame from the ground) with my bike on the kick stand is 4". Not a big problem (or I thought it wasn't) as I held my bike upright with one hand and tried to maneuver the jack under with my other hand. This did not work. I was able to get the jack most of the way under my motorcycle, unfortunatelly there still was not quite enough room. All I was able to do is scratch up my garage floor trying to get this jack under my motorcycle. When I finally got the jack out from under my motorcycle, one of the rubber pads was pulled off as there was just not enough room for it to move around. I think if the swivle wheels would actually swivle like they are supposed to I would have been able to manuever the jack under my bike a little easier.The reason I gave three (3) stars is because this jack does appear to be built strong and it looks like it would be sturdy with an ATV/motorcycle on it.I STRONGLY ADVISE anyone that is interested in buying this jack to measure your ATV/Motorcycles frame for it's width and ground clearance so you do not have to return it like I have to.

This thing is a monster--both in build and weight. The included handle makes it easy to roll around. I have a 650 vstar that this jack will go under, but the arms are not long enough to completely cover the frame area underneath, so the bike "rocks" some on the way up---have someone help you hold it and you should be good to go. (Watch out for that pesky kickstand!) Of course, after it is up it will need to be secured better to work on and not fall over. I'm going to have to modify the outfit a little---absolutely no problem here---I'll just lay a longer oak board on top of the arms--works like a charm! This is a heavy duty outfit and I'm satisfied with it except for the shortness of the arms, but it's in my garage to stay---it's found a home!!
