Tuxedo M-1000C — 1,000 lb Pneumatic Motorcycle Lift
The Tuxedo M-1000C is an air-powered motorcycle lift rated for 1,000 lb, built to raise motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, jet skis, and similar powersport equipment to a comfortable working height for maintenance and repair. It's built with a cut-out platform section so a motorcycle's kickstand or drop-down center stand can engage while the bike sits raised, without needing a separate wheel chock for every stand type.
The 84 in x 24 in platform, on a 108 in overall length with ramp, gives enough deck to load a full-size touring bike or a small ATV. It lifts to a maximum working height of 30 in from a 7 in minimum, running on 90–100 PSI shop air — no electrical circuit required.
A range of accessories — side extensions, front extension, vise, and jack — are available to customize the platform for wider bikes, ATVs, or added clamping capability.
Who It's Built For
- ✅ Powersport/motorcycle shops needing an air-powered lift with no dedicated electrical circuit
- ✅ Techs working on motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, and jet skis on one platform
- ✅ Shops that want a lower entry-height (7 in) lift for easier bike loading than a high-rise bench
What It's NOT Built For
- ❌ Heavier loads over 1,000 lb — see the 1,500 lb M-1500C-HR instead
- ❌ Shops without a shop air line
Want the black powder-coat finish instead? See the M-1000C-BLK. Questions about fit, freight, or capacity? Call Alamo at (817) 865-3707.
What Makes the M-1000C Different
Air-Powered, No Electrical Circuit Needed
Runs on 90–100 PSI shop air — useful for shops that already have compressed air but don't want to run a dedicated 110V/220V circuit for a motorcycle lift.
Extra-Large 84 in x 24 in Platform
Long and wide enough for full-size touring motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, and jet skis — not just sport bikes.
Low 7 in Entry Height
The 7 in minimum height makes loading easier than a high-rise bench-style lift, especially for riders loading solo.
Accessory-Ready Platform
Side extensions, front extension, vise, and jack accessories let you customize the platform for wider bikes or added clamping capability as your shop's needs grow.
✅ Best For
- ✅ Shops with existing shop air wanting to avoid new electrical work
- ✅ Multi-powersport shops (motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, jet skis)
❌ Not Ideal For
- ❌ Loads over 1,000 lb — the M-1500C-HR handles 1,500 lb
- ❌ Shops wanting a built-in vise standard — the M-1500C-HR includes side extensions and vise; the M-1000C's vise is a separate accessory
