Ordered this shortly after I placed order with Eurobrit for the machine.
Apologies for no photos but I am a Luddite and also Comrade Wife put my digital camera "in a safe place" two years back and cannot recall where that is, she lost it somewhere in the house.

Any folk sufficiently interested can look at the above to see that the standard lift is available with width extension kit which adds 600mm overall to allow a quad or maybe a big mower to be accommodated, also how the width extensions are fixed by two heavy tube rods fitted across the main deck to support the extensions.
Good for a Ural combination with about 50mm excess width clearance each side across drive / sidecar wheels, all good in theory.
The lift is bolted into a slab with 4 x 12mm x 100 mm dynabolts so she will not tip but a Ural is not a quad, heavy on the bike side and the lift tilted alarmingly toward that side when initially raised, the decision was made to relocate both width extensions to the sidecar side of the main deck.
Above would have the [heavy] engine side of the combination on the RHS of the main deck and the sidecar wheel supported outboard of the two width extension "planks".
Shit result, the bike side was now fine good but we had unacceptable sag under the sidecar wheel when elevated, looked and was dodgy.
Solution was to buy a 1360mm piece of 100 x 80x 6mm angle and drill it to be bolted across the rear of the three sections [main deck and two outboard extensions] of the deck, fixed by the bolts provided to attach loading ramps to to all three sections.
We jacked up the saggy corner to give some pre-set before grunt tightening the bolts.
If anything shifts I will jack everything level and weld, across the new brace section and deck ends and also longitudinally between the main deck and width extension planks.
Hopefully all will be clear to anyone interested in buying a lift and so prepared to expend the effort to look at attached file, additional steel cost was $30.00.
