FAQs

Scissor-lift designs (a wide platform raised by a scissor mechanism) are the workshop default — they support the entire bike on a flat platform, suit any motorcycle from sportsbike to large tourer, and give clear access to underside components. Post-lift designs use a single central post raising the bike via centre-stand pickup points — compact and suited to home-enthusiast garages where floor space is limited. For workshop use, scissor-lift is the practical choice; for home-enthusiast occasional use, a post-lift saves space and cost.

Paddock stands lift the bike off either wheel for tyre changes, chain cleaning, or storage. Rear paddock stands engage the swingarm — either at swingarm-bobbins (small bolts on the swingarm — most race and sport bikes have these) or via a hook design that goes under the swingarm. Front paddock stands lift via the front axle — either through-axle pin or under-yoke fork-leg pickup. For mixed bike types, choose universal paddock stands with adjustable bobbin width or supplied with multiple cup styles. For frequent use on a single bike, dedicated swingarm-bobbin stands are the fastest to use.

Match the lift's rated capacity to the heaviest bike you'll service plus 25% margin. Sportbikes typically run 180-220 kg wet weight; standard road bikes 200-280 kg; touring bikes and adventure bikes 280-380 kg; cruiser and large-engine bikes can exceed 400 kg. For workshop use covering all bike types, choose 450-680 kg / 1000-1500 lb capacity lifts. The rated capacity is listed on every lift product page; never overload.

Yes. Motorcycle-specific service tools — fork-seal drivers (sized to the fork tube diameter), chain breakers and rivet tools (sized to the chain pitch — 415, 420, 428, 520, 525, 530), sprocket-holding tools, crankcase splitters, and clutch-spring compressors — are available across the common motorcycle tool ranges. Match by chain pitch, fork tube diameter, or motorcycle make and model. WhatsApp 07754288583 with the bike details if the specific tool you need isn't listed.

Motorcycle Tools

Within Workshop Tools, Motorcycle Tools covers the specialist workshop tools and equipment designed for motorcycle service, repair, and maintenance — hydraulic motorcycle lifts and stands, paddock and pit-stand systems, motorcycle-specific tyre tools, chain tools and breakers, fork-and-shock service tools, and the wider range of two-wheel-specific workshop equipment. Parts For Machines supplies trade-grade motorcycle tools for independent motorcycle workshops, dealerships, and the home enthusiast. Within Motorcycle Tools you will find Hydraulic Motorcycle Lifts (scissor-lift and post-lift designs raising the bike to working height for service), Paddock Stands and Pit Stands (rear-and-front stands for tyre changes, chain work, and storage), Motorcycle Specific Tools (chain breakers and rivet tools, fork-seal drivers, sprocket holders, crankcase splitters, and the tools designed only for two-wheel work), and the consumables and accessories that go with them. Parts For Machines supplies motorcycle tools across the trade and home-enthusiast range. Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of SIP, Sealey, and Draper across motorcycle tools. Sealey covers the broadest range of motorcycle lifts, paddock stands, and motorcycle-specific service tools — including the Premier range with higher load ratings and finer adjustment. SIP and Draper extend the line at competitive trade pricing. Product pages list the application (the specific motorcycle operation supported), load capacity (typical hydraulic lifts rate 450-680 kg / 1000-1500 lbs, paddock stands 200-400 kg), working height range (for hydraulic lifts), pin-pattern compatibility (paddock stands match the bike's swingarm bobbin or rear-axle position), and dimensions. Hydraulic motorcycle lifts come in two main configurations. Scissor-lift designs are the workshop default — a wide platform with hydraulic scissor mechanism raising the bike. Post-lift and centre-stand-style designs are common for home-enthusiast use. Always confirm the lift's table dimensions clear your bike's wheelbase and footprint, and that the load rating exceeds the bike's wet weight with at least 25% margin. Trade pricing on workshop fit-out and multi-tool orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
