Workshop Equipment

Here at GMS we stock a large range of workshop equipment including lifts, stands and tools.

Paddock Stands
BikeTek Front and Rear Paddock Stands allow easy and safe lifting of wheels for most repair and maintenance jobs. Extra heavy duty construction, these stands are available in red finish, supplied with front under-fork or rear swingarm cup adaptors. A bobbin hook kit is available for rear stands. Features:
• Spring loaded quick release under fork and cup adaptors

 Front Paddock Stand


Front paddock stands MUST be used in conjunction with a rear paddock stand.
 










Rear Paddock Stand















Front Head Stand 
The BikeTek front head stand folds out to enable a motorcycle to be lifted by the front steering head tube. This offers maximum access to the front end for all repair, cleaning and maintenance work. Each stand is supplied with a kit of 5 of the most popular sized head lift pins covering 90% of motorcycles (including 13mm, 15mm, 16.5mm, 17mm and 18mm). Other larger size pins are available seperately. Pins are easily and quickly changeable, making the stand extremely versatile accross a wide range of bikes.  




Static Rear Stand
This new rear stand from Biketek offers a unique method of motorcycle storage, especially suited for longterm private home storage. A steel support bar is inserted through the rear wheel axle, which is then secured to the stand body. The bike is pushed backwards and raises into position on the stand. 

Cleaning and maintenance work can be carried out when the bike is mounted on the stand (except for tasks that involve removal of the rear wheel) Front paddock stands can still be used in conjunction with the Biketek static stand. Manufactured from 1.4mm steel, 23mm diameter tubing, the stand is a 1pc unit requiring no assembly and offering optimum strength and rigidity. Finished in durable powder-coating and with protective ground-contact bungs.
