Has anyone tried the Bushtec stand? Wondering how stable it is and how well it works.

Looks to me like the thing would try to skate away on it's wheels (yes it apears that it has "locking" wheels) while trying to fold it. ? ? ? ? ? ? Other wise, i am so short on space i could really use such a thing. Maybe i will just make my own. (Just sayin')

First glance at the image thought it was hanging by its neck.  Looked closer after blowing the pic up a bit and saw the structure under the trailer and felt much better about the kit.  The slightly smaller storage space required by vertical storage could be a benefit for some.  Another benefit, however, would be the considerably improved access for maintenance under the trailer or even for taking wheels on and off.

Your right, having access to under the trailer would be worth the purchase. I wonder if one person could get it on the rack though, must be some trick to it.  Doc

Was wondering the same thing Lou.  Couldn't quite visualize the process just from looking at the frame.  They need a video on Youtube....

Hah, there is a trick.  http://www.bushtec.com/product-p/98405000.htm

I don't want to buy one, maybe just borrow.       Several send a few bucks and send around the country.

Ya, would someone buy one so we can all find out how well it works?  I do like the idea of being able to service things easily plus I need the floor space......

You have to do a little 'surgery' on the trailer to use the stand.  I am considering it but haven't made the plunge.  Sure would be handy.

I'm down in the ManCave right now looking at how much needed room I'd save plus the convenience of rolling it around when needed. The only conflict at this point is Terry wants the trailer painted to match the bike first. So I guess we are just one SS check away from from doing both if Obama pays me next month.     Doc

May have come up with a way to rationalize justify this stand.  Had been considering a wider table lift.  So could use it for the bikes and the Bushtec.  If had this wouldn't have to get the wider table lift.





(then later after this thing was home could re-rationalize the wider lift due to Parker's ATV or the lawnmower!)

[Bojiboy]

I like your logic Don.

Attached to this post will be a Word .doc file that is Bushtec's instruction sheet for the installation to the trailer.  No pics.  But it gives a good idea of what's involved.   Thanks go to Ben Yost at Bushtec for sending the doc.

Checked out the specs a bit more and see the entire setup is 96 inches tall. I think that will work in my garage but could be a bit close to the ceiling depending on your garage. Going to do some measuring tonight....
