Follow on Google News | Clark Heintz Tools & Equipment Poses 5 Questions to Ask When Searching for Motorcycle Lifts in NHBy: Clark Heintz Tools & Equipment LLC 1. Is this motorcycle lift the ideal size for my vehicle? Whether you are riding a touring bike or a moped, it's important to fully understand not only the dimensions of your vehicle but the weight - and understand the weight capacity of the jack or lifting stand that you are interested in purchasing. Motorcyles are known to come with other accessories that may "weigh down" the bike. Again, important to factor all of these extraneous pieces into your total bike weight in order to make the best motorcycle lift purchase. 2. I live in NH where it snows! Will this lift be capable of handling my snowblower? A legitimate question to ask yourself, living in this region of the country, is will I be able to lift my snowblower or snowmobile on this lift? Ideally your lift can carry all of your vehicles, not just the ones made for summer frolicking! 3. I do not have a truck to pick up the lift. Will I need to consider shipping costs? Absolutely! Consider this: If you are paying for a 300-400 lb lift table, shipping costs are a big deal. If you can find the right price that includes free shipping, obviously this is the better choice, but remember: no matter who you order your lift from, heavy freight charges will apply [though in our experience they vary greatly, so do your homework!]. This means, if you have the lift delivered to a home address, this will incur a fee. You will also likely need a liftgate to get it off the truck, which will incur a fee, as well. So in our opinion, it's best to find a commercial location (your business or a friend's business?) that has easy access, and grab a few buddies to help you get it off the truck. There is also the option of picking it up at your local terminal with a few buddies. Same idea...no fee to pick it up from the terminal. Save all the fees this way! 4. How much bang should I be getting for my buck? A good question - this is where research comes in handy. As an example, the PRO 1200 lift comes with a lot of extras, like a wheel clamp, front extension, loading ramp, and a drop through plate, whereas some of the leading American manufacturers are set up a la carte, and you need to purchase each piece separately. 5. Does it make more sense to buy local? We understand, as motorcycle lift dealers, that many people want to see the lift before they commit to a purchase. It's a big ticket item! However, we've found that buy making our efforts as transparent as possible, we can bring folks from all over the country into our store in a virtual way. We have made several videos demonstrating our pro 1200 lift and - most importantly - we are a small business, so when you call to ask us questions, we are ready to help you and provide you with as much information as possible! I have had experiences calling companies that are far away who appear to not really care if they make the sale. So in those cases, I might prefer supporting some small local business. However, if I am getting outstanding, trustworthy customer support, I am very willing to purchase a product located several states away. The beauty of the internet nowadays is that we are all local to each other, in one way or another. Visit us online at http://www.nhproequip.com. End
