As someone mentioned, the HF lift CANNOT be used as a motorcycle dolly. The wheels are on fixed positioned axles so the lift will only roll backwards/forwards. Typically, the type of fixture you want isn't really made for maintenance because access is blocked to things on the bottom of the engine - such as the oil drain bolt & oil filter, but they do allow you to move the bike. These are fixtures that have a cradle under the engine but they sometimes will not work on certain bikes because of exhaust pipes and other things that might be damaged by being used as a lifting point.
You could slide-tug-push-cuss the HF lift against the wall then tip it on its side but I've never done that to create more parking space. It's still 400 pounds of dead weight no matter how you cut it.
When I was younger (much younger!), I didn't mind working on the floor using a creeper or piece of old carpet but now I hate it plus don't have enough raw strength to do some tasks - especially when laying on my side. Being able to stand-up while working makes it much, much easier for me.
