bike lift table

Any recommendations for a decent lift table? I'm to the point where the knees and back won't take much more abuse, getting down to dirt level is easy it's the reverse that ain't quite as easy anymore. Ron K.

Harbor freight table lift. When on sale great deal just need to switch out the front wheel vise to a better one.

Bought a medium model Handy about 10 years ago at the Cycle World MC show.  the deal was decent at the show with no freight cost.  Lift has performed great with no problems.  Only issue I have is the bike sitting on it which I need to get finished.  Been cleaning carbs the last few weeks and can't use the lift because it's occupied!  It's a great tool if you have the space.

I bought a HF table years ago.  Waited for a sale and had a 25% coupon,I think.  Has worked great for years.  I use it all the time.  Heaviest bike I put on it is about 750#.  I just bought the 1000# table with the hydraulic pump.

Thanks for all the suggestions. It looks like the HF table wins, local so no freight just need to catch it on sale. Ron K.

My only recommendations are air and good solid wheel vise. Plus , you get what you pay for.

I also like my Harbor Freight lift table.   I've had it for 6 years or more.    It works great.     Paul Streeter

In the Jan/Feb issue of Cycle World, there's a coupon in the Harbor Freight ad for the lift at $299.99. Mike Martin [b]From:[/b] "rkolarik@...

bike lift table

Ron,It seems to me--Sale price is often the same as using a 20% OFF coupon. also,Check in their online store; I have noticed that sometimes they offer different pricing schedules/coupons vs. the mailer/flyer; following their instructions, that online price can be used in their brick/mortar stores. m1.

Any lift is better than working on the ground.  Buy what you can afford and use the crap out of it.  Your knees and back with thank you!  PS - whatever lift you get using tie downs is a very good idea.  I'd never put a bike on it without them.
