RML-600 Motorcycle Lift in WIRED Magazine

June 25th, 2010

WIRED Magazine gave the RML-600 Motorcycle Lift by Ranger a very nice writeup in their July 2010 issue.

As you might remember, we told you a few weeks back that the DIY Network was airing a special episode of their hit show Garage Mahal in which WIRED Magazine was going to assist in the ultra-technological makeover of some lucky guy’s garage. The episode aired on June 18th at 6:30 PM PST.

The garage in question belongs to RC model airplane builder Gambina, whose garage was in serious need of an overhaul. WIRED and Garage Mahal hooked him up with a number of helpful tech innovations to keep his workspace organized and user-friendly.

For our part, we supplied the RML-600 Motorcycle Lift, which the crew “hacked” (that’s modified to you and me), to enhance its usability as a mobile workbench. Here’s what WIRED said:

Finding a workspace for larger items can be a challenge. Gambina didn’t want a huge, permanently installed bench taking up the room he sometimes needs for, you know, his car. Our solution? We hacked a BendPak motorcycle lift ($1,200) into a movable surface that can be raised and lowered to the perfect height for aircraft maintenance.

It’s great to see our equipment adapted to unique projects. That’s what it’s there for.
