lifts are now nearly £400. anyway like I've said I'll make my own. thanks for the replies.

Nothing saying you can't copy the threaded rod design when making new.
Your drawing for a new one had a heavy hydraulic jack.
Could you buy a trailer jack for the lifting part ?
that might prove stronger, and mostly ready to go.

Manual trailer jack for car trailers

Manual trailer jack used for tipping the main body/loading surface of a trailer. Excellent universal tipping trailer accessory for all kinds of car trailers.

having worked out the cost its not worth the effort. cost is roughly around £300 by the time all bits and bobs added.
also discussing with my good lass..how often will I use it?
most of my bikes are new so servicing is done by the dealer to keep the warranty.
so thank to you all for taking the time to reply.

I like the design. Might copy it, albeit with improvements.

Cost is only one thing.
Making it brings a feeling of satisfaction & accomplishment.
And it will be exactly as you want it.
Extra large wheels for rough surfaces ? yours can have them.
Extra high lift ? design it in.
