Join us at CampRZR in Berlin NH and Lowell Motorcycle Night in September!

CAMPRZR POLARIS MOTORCYCLE NIGHT LOWELL

At the end of September, we will officially be hitting the road! We are setting up our first booth ever at Motorcycle Night in Lowell, Mass. on Tuesday Sept. 20th. We will have both lifts and accessories on display - and raffles and giveaways! Catch up with fellow riders, listen to some live bands, see motorcycle demonstrations, and be sure to stop by our booth to say hello and check out our PRO 1200, Elevator 1100, Elevator 1800 and PRO 2500 lifts. Motorcycle Night® was established in 1997 as a way for bike enthusiasts to gather on a regular basis. It has since developed into New England’s #1 weekly biker destination, always staying true to their motto: "All Bikes Welcome."

We are also setting up a booth at THE UTV event of the year, the Polaris-sponsored Camp RZR New England at Jericho State Park in Berlin, New Hampshire on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 23-24. Come check out our lineup of Motorcycle, ATV, Snowmobile and UTV (side by side) lifts in person and meet our crew. Making their first public appearance will be our new Elevator series lifts that we are VERY excited about and think you will be too! Stop by our booth for more raffles and giveaways, and check out our Elevator 1800 PRO 2500 High Rise UTV lift tables while you are there! With over 80 miles of trails in the park and more than 1,000 miles of interconnected trails in the greater New Hampshire area, Camp RZR® brings together riders from all over the country for 2 days of excitement and adventure. Located near the OHRV friendly towns of Berlin and Gorham, where city streets within the “Urban Compact Zone” are open to Off-Highway Recreational Vehicles, making many hotels, campsites, parking lots and city amenities accessible by SxS. Check out our Motorcycle lift tables here. Check out our UTV lift tables here. Questions about these events? Please contact us at sales@nhproequip.com or call 603-234-2612 or 603-219-0060.

PRO 1000 Motorcycle Jack lifts a Kawaski KLR 650
We want to sincerely thank Denise in Waltham, MA for this thoughtful PRO 1000 service motorcycle jack review. We're happy to hear that this particular motorcycle center jack worked especially well for your needs. We appreciate the time you took to share this information with us! "The Pro 1000 Service Jack is the perfect jack for me. I ride a Kawaski KLR 650 and need to service it regularly. [caption id="attachment_2938" align="alignleft" width="300"]PRO 1000 Service Jack for Motorcycles PRO 1000 Service Jack for Motorcycles[/caption]The problem I was facing with most portable manual scissor bike lifts is that they were only offered with a flat top which is not compatible with my bike as my oil drain plug and fluted plastic skid plate extend below my frame. Making matters more difficult I have SW Motech crash bars that run tightly along my cradle. The adjustable padded V-adapter on your Pro 1000 slips in between my frame and crash bars nicely at almost the bikes balance point. With adequate jacking height (my ground clearance is 8") I'm able to work on either end of my bike or with a little bit of jacking stand my bike vertical for a stable work position. My bike felt safe and secure while on your lift considering I’m using it on a very uneven asphalt driveway. Your jack has given me peace of mind knowing that I can work safely and easily whenever the need pops up." This motorcycle jack is for sale!

Do I need a Side Extension Kit?

We wanted to highlight the virtues of the side extensions kit! Side extensions are a useful add on when servicing a larger vehicle, such as a snowmobiles, ATVs, lawnmowers, etc). We’ve had customers call us with concerns about loading their larger bikes onto the basic lift, which has a 24” deck. With the side extensions added, making a 48” deck, you will have peace of mind that you will have complete balance and sufficient space while loading your bike. Another helpful point in deciding whether you would like a side rail kit is…cost of shipping. We have several lift packages. With our PRO 1200SEMAX package (Shown Above), we offer free shipping. So if you are considering getting side extensions “sometime down the road,” it might be worth considering purchasing the full package that includes them with your lift in order to save on shipping. Since these kits are quite heavy, you may be paying almost as much in shipping when buying side extensions separately, as you would pay for shipping cost for a lift, itself. So, consider the side extension kit - it is useful for various reasons!pro-1200se-motorcycle-lift-package-side-extensions-included
