My trike repair stand

I got my trike last May and have done a bunch of mods and things to make it more comfortable and convenient for me. Most of the repairs I had to lie on the garage floor on a piece of cardboard which really isn't the best thing to do when you're had both hips and a knee replacement.

​

It's a neat design and I give full credit to Jesusisthe1way on YouTube. I just copied her work. Here's the link by the way.

​

It folds up when not in use, has wheels so I can spin it around and puts the trike at upper chest height so I don't have to bend to work on it. Here's a Pic.

 

It is nice. My only problem is that it is a little hard to get the trike up on the stand by myself. I went to harbor freight and bought a winch like you would use to hoist game up. I'm going to see if I can convert it to a trike hoist with some tie down straps I've got lying around.

 

I should have mentioned that I spent $109 dollars on this project. Most of the lumber and hardware I bought at my local hardware store and the knobs and locking casters were bought off of Amazon. I had looked at the price of a ready built stand but I cheaped out when I saw 400 dollar prices.

 

Great looking stand. Thanks for sharing the video.

 

What a nice piece of work. Looks like it is a very strong and steady work platform especially for a trike.

 

Nicely done!

 

That hinge, knob, stop nut combination shall now be seen on my next project! thx

When not on the work stand, my wife's Tadpole gets hoisted on a cross shaped davit when not in use. The large diameter of the pulley makes hoisting and lowering much easier. I tried block and tackle, but this is better and simpler. I'll try to post pictures, later.

Now I see you've already found your own solution. Oh, comma, well … space …
