What is the height clearance required to place under bike (without having to park bike on an object to lift the bike prior to putting on the jack)?

About 5 1/2 to 6 inches. I have a 07 Road King and I get the lift to the right side edge of the frame and pull the bike to me off the kickstand to level her out and with the other hand push the lift in and jack her up. I am 65 and after doing this a few times its becomes very easy to do. Hope this helps

The trailer floor is about 20 inches from the ground so with a ramp it would be easy to load and haul your bike. The only drawback is that it would take up about 1/3 of the space so it would limit other things that you would waqnt to load on the trailer.

As Egonzo said it is around 23 1/4" to the outside of each end where the bike should be resting. The inside is around 16" which should still work but may not hold the bike properly.

A little over 9". Make sure you center your jack on it or it might tip, mostly in hot weather.

I am unable to climb up on a ladder and measure the brackets. I can tell you that the holes for mounting are right in line on the center of the brackets. There should be no problem concerning the width of the beams.We used some small bunji cords to hold the cords in place between the bike and the brackets. You might not need this on a standard bike, but we have a tandem bike. hope this helps.

I have a 2009 KTM530EXC and I use this when I do wheel changes. It is stable enough that I feel comfortable leaving the bike wheel-less in the garage. I do not use the risers though...I just let the frame rest on the flat part of the jack. And I would not trust it with my daughter walking around the garage but it's fine when no one disturbs it. My KTM frame is 13.5 inches off ground at rest.

If you haul it all the way up, the distance from the ceiling to the handlebars is about 7 or 8 inches. The hook that goes under the seat, I actually hook to the rack I have over my rear tire, which brings it up until the seat just about touches the ceiling. If you don't have a rack to hook onto, you can take a short length of rope (the bike comes with plenty) and tie it into a circle/loop (say, 6-8 inches in diameter), feed one end of the loop through the spokes and slide the hook onto the loop on either side of the tire. It'll save you several more inches of head space under the rear tire.

I'll try to help you, but I don't understand your question. Are you referring to a fifth wheel trailer? If so, I would say NO! Not behind the tow vehicle under the front of the fifth wheel trailer. Add about 1' to the height of your bike and that'll give you an idea of how much room you need, plus any clearances of vehicle movement.

Approx. 32 inches.Perhaps of interest, pedal at it's low point is 5 inches above the ground.

It was high enough for me to remove the front wheel on my Buell XB12R ... so ~4" off the ground... (At a guess) KG

Possibly, the mechanism is is fairly tight but not overly hard to turn. I haven't used it enough to "break-it-in" yet so the jack will probably get easer to operate. Right now, I would say that a good 1/2" drill motor would lift and lower the jack, but have no idea if it'll pick-up a bike.

I think the clearance on my blazen toy hauler is about 12 inches. It is more than enough to allow for flex. The toyhauler frame is about 7 to 8 inches high so it rides higher on this unit than most toyhauler. If you measure the distance from the top of the jack mount to the ground with the trailor loaded and attached to the tow vehicle you can contact atwood for the proper application. The one I have has 19 inches of retraction which is more than enough for my purpose. Hope this helps, Jeff

Measure the distance from the ground to the spot on your jeep where you would attach the jack if you needed to lift it to change a tire or what ever. Your jack will have to travel upwards from that point the distance of your suspension travel (call your dealer if you don't know). When your jack has lifted your tire off the ground, my rule of thumb is to have another two feet of left due to uneven terrain not to mention the stability of the jack. So to sum it all up you would add say 30 inches, ground to bumper, plus 10 inches of suspension travel, plus 24 inches for safety. This would require you to buy a jack as close to 64 inches as possible .

5.5 inches is the minimum height. The above answer is wrong and cost me getting the wrong jack.

I have a Victory vegas, same problem. I cut 4 pieces of wood,(1/2 in. plywood) each piece is the width of the jack and the length is around 8 in. I leave a gap in the center where the crank bump is. The bike jacks up fine and feels secure, I also have a wire that pinches, so I may need to modify the wood in one area. I can jack up the bike solo by sitting on it and reaching with my foot until it leaves the ground. The wheels are cheap but I am happy with the jack.

Hi Mark, when set at the lowest level, I measured exactly 3 1/2 inches from the ground up to the jack plate which fits pretty well under my civic 02.
