TQ it is under control. When using the hoist i strap the bike down with four corner straps. Sitting the way it is on the hoist, the bike is as secure as when sitting on the jiffy stand on the ground. I said that the hoist weighs 400lbs, but I bet that it weighs closer to a 1000 lbs. The sissor arms are 1 inch thick, the deck is 5/16" and all the frame is 5/16". The bike won't move. I have a Rampage bike lift in the back of the truck for taking the bike to Florida and I am very careful how I strap that down. The first time I loaded the bike on the Rampage one of the S hooks broke. No damage, the tire cradle held the bike from tipping but now
I use the best straps that I can find and lots of them.
