I have learn one easy trick when loading the bike on the lift. My concrete garage floor was power troweled to a shining slick surface. Easy to clean but just as easy to watch your lift go forward as you attempt to drive on. I cut a strip of carpet about 8 foot long 12 inches wide, and put 3 foot of it on the lift and drive up the carpet strip. Set the center stand and roll up the carpet strip. As you can guess the front wheel has to keep rolling forward on the carpet and can not stop turning and push the lift. I never work on the bare floor anymore. Carpet stores toss huge new scraps out into their dumpsters everyday.I prefer a nice close knit Berber carpet. That 2 inch florescent shag reminds me of my 59 VW bug headliner. I get lost in the memories and then nothing else gets done.
