New Harley trike lift meets worldwide
approval standards
SPECIALIST workshop equipment manufacturer
Marolo Test has introduced a new version of its
respected ModuLift, specified for the HarleyDavidson Tri Glide.
Based on the company’s patented modular lift
platform, this new version of an established top seller
builds on the success that the company has had with
the ATV/Quad version of a lift program that is based
around six removable plates for 2- 3- or 4-wheel
vehicle versatility.
Marolo Test first introduced their ModuLift
concept in 2005 and manufacture and assemble all
the major components in-house and with selected
suppliers near their Cholet headquarters near Nantes
in western France.

Specified to meet or exceed all European and
international type approvals and certifications, all
Marolo lifts are available in a choice of pneumatic or
hydraulic power. “However, 80 percent of our sales
are pneumatic because of the ease of use, reliability
and cost-effectiveness of pneumatic power”,
Marolo’s International Sales Director Raphael Girard
told AMD Magazine when we visited their factory
earlier this year.
The company was founded in 1958 and is believed
to have been the first, or at least is certainly among
the very first, to have introduced what we now know
as dynamometer technology into the motorcycle
industry.
Still a leading European manufacturer of

dynamometers, these days in conjunction with
Daniel Fuchs, the Marolo Test program also includes
innovative turnkey workshop solutions and the
award-winning MaroloBio solvent-free bacteria
based parts cleaning system.
Marolo Test have an established importer and
distributor network, who will be carrying this new
product line in addition to the full range of existing
Marolo Test workshop equipment, including their
dynamometers. However, the company does have
openings for some additional importers/distributors
in some countries, and would also be happy to hear
from any specialist Harley aftermarket, trike industry,
and custom v-twin market specialists.
