The Clarke CML7 Motorcycle Lift sits in the mid-range bracket at £454.80 as of April 2026. It is a hydraulic lift with a 360kg capacity. It targets both home mechanics and small workshop users who want a cleaner, safer way to work on bikes.
The unit operates via a foot pedal system that raises the bike to about 680mm. A front wheel clamp and tie-down points help keep it steady during maintenance. This setup supports typical jobs like chain adjustments, brake servicing, and detailing without strain.
Users report solid build quality and reliable lift action. The platform feels stable, even with heavier touring or naked bikes. Assembly takes around 30 minutes, and operation is simple once familiar with the release valve and foot pedal rhythm.
The main trade-off is its weight, at roughly 115kg, it’s not easy to move once set up. For riders who want portability, this could be a drawback.
At its price, the CML7 offers strong value for those maintaining multiple bikes or performing frequent servicing. It improves efficiency, comfort, and storage flexibility in most garages.
It’s a practical choice for DIY riders wanting workshop-level convenience without overspending.
My two cents…
Ah, the Clarke CML7, because crawling around on cold concrete is sooo 1998. At about £455, this mid-range hydraulic lift will hoist your 360kg pride-and-joy up to a knee‑friendly height. Foot pedal, wheel clamp, tie-downs, the whole “don’t drop your bike” starter pack. Users rave about its solid build and smooth lift. Simple enough once you find your rhythm with the release valve, like learning a dance no one sees. Yeah, it’s 115kg, so don’t expect to drag it around the shed like a Hoover. Still, for home wrenchers tired of backache and bad lighting? Solid buy. Bonus: instant garage cred.
