Dear future customers,

Thank you for inquiring about our motorcycle lifts. The name, Pit Bull Motorcycle lifts, means quality and the best there is to offer in the lift business. We have been building the Pit Bull Lifts for 15 years now and in that time, have had ample opportunity to modify and make the changes that you, our customer, want to see in a lift. We are just a family owned and operated business right here in the good ol' USA and if you take the time to look our lifts over, you will see the craftsmanship and superior quality that we put into each one. That's the very reason we have a lifetime warranty on the workmanship. We believe in and stand behind our lift 100% and we are going to be here to back that up, unlike some of our competitors. Why don't I just get right down to the facts and specifics of our lift so you can see for yourself.

Yes, We're The Best & here's why!

The ground up: First of all, our castors are far superior over any other lift maker due to the type of material and construction of the overall castor housing. We use castor wheels that are basically made from the same material bowling balls are manufactured from. This and the diameter size of the castor allows you to roll the unit loaded or unloaded over rough surfaces, such as asphalt and cracked concrete or the smoothest of floors. The internals of our castors are made up of a zerk fitted axle, a steel sleeve over the axle, and a needle bearing over the sleeve. This gives your castor wheels constant lubrication and the best of operation at all times. Also, the swivel castors have a zerk fitting for the roller bearings in the swivel portion of the castor. Now if you compare them, to our competitors, you'll find that their castors are not only smaller in diameter, use no grease fittings, and are constructed of lightweight material. But you'll also see that they are made from inferior types of material such as: Steel (which will not roll across any rough surfaces without extreme force, dangerous when moving your bike), Plastic (which will chip up with use and it generally comes completely apart and breaks), and Neoprene type materials (which are soft and will cut, tear and come apart with use).

Frame strength and construction: Our frame is 100% MIG welded and welded by professional welders, unlike most of our competitors. We use an eight-piece frame, which is made up from the four outside pieces of tubular steel and four pieces of angle iron, which run through the center of the lift. This in turn gives you the strength and stability that you expect from a motorcycle lift. From the frame we have the "H" beams that act as the arms that run from the frame body to the actual lift platform that your bike is setting on. We use tubular steel with a cross brace for these two items and four pieces of angle iron that attach to the top of the "H's" for the lift platform. Some of our competitors like to advertise that their tubular steel "H's" are of larger diameter steel and this is true. However, if you will take a closer look at how the lift platforms are attached, you will see that they use a piece of flat plate with the end butt-welded to a round sleeve, which if tested would not by any means be stronger than my over all set-up. The truth of the matter is, your lift is only as strong as your weakest link. Pit Bull Lifts raise your bike to a full 25 inches and has a weight capacity of 1450 lbs. and is so stable and strong that for normal maintenance and clean up you will not need to tie most motorcycles down. Before we move on to the next step, I would like for you to understand that most lifts on the market today use a frame made up of as little as four pieces of steel to establish a frame. This is why they lack the strength and stability to safely lift the weight of a motorcycle.

Finishing touches: We feel the need to give our customers safety features, operability, and the means to tie their bikes down to the lift so they aren't limited to just cleaning or regular maintenance. We use four, swivel "D" rings one welded in each corner of the lift frame so you have the convenience of strapping your motorcycle securely to the lift. We also place three safety stops, one on each side of the lifting "H's" so that if anything happened to cause your hydraulic jack to leak, you would not have to worry about your bike going to the floor. We also, weld steel bushings inside the tubing in every location a bolt goes through (some, lift companies advertise this but you had better look before you buy). On top of that we use zerk fittings in every moving part on the lift (unlike any of our competitors). This insures the maintenance, operability, and over all protection from moisture to the internal moving parts. Also notice, we use a non-skid \ solvent resistant rubber on top of our lift platform which aids in the stability of the unit. Helping to keep your bike from sliding around, it also acts as a protective barrier between your frame and the platform steel eliminating scratches to the bottom of your frame. All of our units are Powder Coated by professional powder coating company. This is a great benefit by providing a durable surface that not only looks good but will last. Last but not least, we include a steel easy pull handle that attaches to the frame of the lift to make it more convenient to move your unit with or without a bike on it.

Lets talk hydraulics: Pit Bull Motorcycle Lifts use two different types of hydraulic type jacks. On the manual foot operated unit, we use a six ton hydraulic jack and on the air /manual unit, we use a twelve ton air assisted hydraulic jack, that offers the user a choice between using it manually by hand or by using a air compressor to raise the lift. Now, you probably ask yourself why do I need a six or twelve ton jack to lift a motorcycle that might range from 700 to 1000 lbs. Well the reasons are simple, lets start with the six ton jack that is used on the manual foot operated unit. We use the 6 ton not only for the added strength but also because you are only picking up a small fraction of it's capacity and this cuts down on mechanical maintenance, as well as, pressure being placed on the seals. We use a twelve-ton jack on our air lift solely for the reason of smooth operation. If you use anything less with air it becomes jerky and will not raise your bike in a smooth flowing motion. Most of our competitors use a four-ton hydraulic jack and some even use smaller ones. This is really not a problem (with the four-ton units) with the lifting capabilities, but you may have to replace the seals and do maintenance on your jack sooner than you would care to.

Adapters : We have been able to study a number of motorcycle frames and design adapters to use with our lift in order to safely lift that motorcycle that may not have a nice flat frame with no interference's. We firmly believe in lifting any and all bikes by their frame. This reduces any possibilities of damage to you or your bike. Our adapters can be bought in bulk for a reduced price or bought individually.

Overview: Now that we have went through most of the facts and specifics you see now why Pit Bull is the best lift on the market and that's the reason why you should choose the Pit Bull to be the lift that is going to meet all your needs. Yes, there are a lot of cheaper lifts you can buy. But, it only takes that one single time to lose your bike off something less stable than ours and you could have bought several of our lifts for what it would cost you in repairs to your bike, if that were to happen. We take pride in our lifts and if you have seen us at a show, you already know we have our strongest competitors lifts on display and show you why the Pitbull is superior to them. We build all our lifts right here in Tennessee, yes the USA. Pitbull Motorcycle Lifts are not built in a communist country at the rate of 2 cents per hour with substandard craftsmanship and materials like several of our competitors. Remember when thinking about purchasing a lift you should always think safety, strength, and reliability instead of, the few dollars you will save by getting something of less quality. You and your bike are far more important than money (good work is not cheap and cheap work is not good ).

Dealers: Just a note, if you sell or deal a cheaper made lift and your customers start to have problems or drop their bikes, who are they going to get mad at? Yes, you and your dealership! This not only makes you look bad, but you can expect to lose business. Choose the strongest and most reliable on the market the first time, PITBULL MOTORCYCLE LIFTS.
