Looking for a rolling sled lift for my garage. I want to be able to easily roll it around to get it out of the way and get it up in the air when servicing, pre-ride inspection etc. it will likely sit on the stand when not in use as I ride from my house often. I also prefer aluminum for its lighter weight as I’ll store the lift above my garage in the summer. Here the ones I’m considering
#1. LIFT A SLED LLC. Aluminum. Seems to be the nicest one I’ve found. Has a nice Jack, 8 aluminum caster wheels. $580. Not available until end of January at best.
#2. Extreme Max. Aluminum. Seems very similar to lift a sled. 6 wheels vs 8 and Jack doesn’t look as beefy. $544 can have in 1 week. Amazon prime purchase so if there are any issues likely easier to deal with
#3. Easy mover. Steel. Buddy has one and likes it and he’s a dealer for them. $460 can get it in a week or so.
I’m leaning toward #2 due to the availability and slight price savings.
What’s everyone’s thoughts/experiences? Recommend anything else?
thanks

correction to the above. i just noticed the extreme max has 8 wheels as well. they look plastic or rubber though and the Lift a sled uses steel casters. i'm assuming steel casters will hold up better if i decide to leave the sled on the lift over the summer as i like to keep the weight off my shocks

I have a lift a sled that I really like but had to make some changes to it. Also have a steel one my brother built and it works just as well but a bit heavier. Lift a sled must’ve changed wheels cuz mine didn’t come with steel wheels.

The changes I made were added a vertical bar to the cross bar, otherwise the sled was being lifted by the “bowls” for chaincase and brake rotor, making it less stable. I also lengthened the back lift bars to level sled out as well

I would definitely go with one of the aluminum options, especially since it's only ~$100 more. Way easier to maneuver.

Is Lift A Sled the new name for the old MadSled/Whiplash Powersports lifts. That's the one I have. Just looked on Facebook and Whiplash hasn't posted since 2019. Anyone know what happened? He use to be on here all the time.

Yes Lift a Sled is the Madsled lift. It always was lift a sled, madsled was just a dealer for him. Not sure what happened to them, but to my knowledge they’re not around anymore….

This is what I bought at Haydays. Built right here in MN. That is main reason. But his had a third cross bar making it stronger. He sells adjustable rear padded riser. I see now he also sells pivoting rear pads. Not sure what that does other than have more surface area on the foot boards. I'm happy with mine and the drill attachment makes it quick

Easymove for me. We have 3 in my group and I can load a sled on it from the street and roll it into my garage without issue. Really a nice piece. You can normally get them for a bit of a discount at the WI snowmobile shows if you're in that area. I think you're in good shape either way though as long as you're not buying some heavy steel homemade jalopy.

Can’t believe the prices. Bought an Extreme Max 1066 for $150 in 2015. It’s certainly not the nicest lift ever but it does the job.

Only suggestion I have is get something with the swiveling wheels under the front. When swiveling wheels are under the back the tunnel slides off the feet when you try to steer it.

I have an easy move lift and it's been great. It's heavy to move but great stability. The drill attachment wore out after 5 years a few weeks ago. Emailed them and asked if I could purchase another one since I wore it out. Ez move 2 day shipped me a new one at no cost..
