It has to be a self contained screw lift of some sort - I'll have to
rethink that part.

It is a single post type motorcycle lift I am building by the way.

=======================================

You might consider something like this:

Too short, it needs to raise it by around 25 inches.


but I would suggest that you use a standard hydraulic jack if at all
possible.

I did consider using one, but there is just no room to get one in.

You might also look at this for some ideas:

I already have one of their small lifts - the one designed to lift a
bike via its frame, but they don't work at all with a sports bike due
to the lack of under frame members and lack of clearance. The table
lift type needs lots of room to enable it to be used and stored - which
is where a compact single post lift wins.
