Harbor Freight Motorcycle Lift as parking space...

[Afan]

Plan to buy soon the HF lift, but have an issue with the space. Pretty limited in my garage. So, how bad is for the lift if I park (at least over the winter) my bike on it?

Also, is there anyting I have to pay attention to regarding this lift?

I have that very lift. And park one of my PTWs on it pretty much every winter.
Just use the ramp to get it on, then I put the ramp to the side after.
(Just don't forget the ramp when it comes time to back off.)

Yes, I too use the HF lift as a "parking space" for one of my bikes. There is no harm to the lift's hydraulic system because with the lift is all the way down there is no pressure on the hydraulic lift cylinder and lift height is fixed solely by metal-to-metal contact.
