Homemade Goldwing Hydraulic Lift

This video explains how I use my homemade hydraulic lift to hoist my Goldwing for maintenance. To build it, I used a power steering pump from a car which I coupled to a 1/2 HP electric motor. I run the motor with a jog switch for control.
  I bought the hydraulic cylinder (3ton lift with 3 ft stroke) and built a below grade housing using 8" pipe and steel plate. I used 1/2' OD Stainless Steel tubing to hook the pump to the cylinder. 
I've had the lift for 6 years and it's worked flawlessly!
