Draper Pneumatic/Hydraulic Motorcycle Lift, 450kg

The Draper MCL3 is the most versatile motorcycle lift table in the Draper range — a professional 450 kg, 2,200 x 680 mm workshop lift that operates on either a heavy-duty foot-operated hydraulic pump or a pneumatic pump system with controller. In a workshop already equipped with a compressed air supply, the pneumatic operation is faster, less physically demanding and better suited to high-throughput servicing where lifting and lowering dozens of bikes in a day would make a foot-operated hydraulic system genuinely tiring. For locations without a compressor, the hydraulic foot pedal works independently and just as effectively. The MCL3 adapts to the workshop rather than the other way around.

The specification matches the MCL2 across every dimension that matters for bike compatibility. The 2,200 x 680 mm all-steel table handles the same range of large touring bikes, adventure bikes and cruisers, the full 180–815 mm lifting range covers the complete spectrum of working positions, and two preset working heights — 540 mm and 730 mm — give the operator a fast, repeatable choice between mid-height wheel and brake access and full standing-height engine and bodywork servicing. The 600 x 550 mm loading ramp accommodates wider wheelbase bikes with ease.

The same wheel servicing capability found on the MCL2 is built in throughout. The removable rear panel (690 x 245 mm) provides clean access to the rear wheel without removing the bike from the table, and the adjustable front wheel clamp with stop bar holds the front wheel securely for fork and headstock work across a full range of tyre widths. The safety table lock prevents accidental descent at either working height, and the stippled table surface maintains grip during motorcycle loading.

The base assembly carries transport wheels for repositioning between bays, with lockdowns securing the lift during use. At 141 kg all-steel construction, the MCL3 is a permanent workshop installation supplied in a wooden crate. The pneumatic inlet is a standard 1/4" BSP connection operating at 90 psi (6.2 bar) — compatible with typical workshop compressor output. Manufactured to the EN1494-2000 standard, it is the definitive choice for high-volume motorcycle workshops where every second of lifting time adds up.

Dual operation modes

Hydraulic — foot pedal

Heavy-duty foot-operated pump. Works without a compressed air supply. Ideal for lower-volume workshops and locations where no compressor is available.

Pneumatic — with controller

Air-powered operation via 1/4" BSP at 90 psi (6.2 bar). Faster, less physically demanding lifting. Suited to high-throughput professional workshops.
