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.
~~~you need to buy a 2nd lift=:-)
I have an air operated Handy lift Mrs. Jake bought for me for a birthday gift, probably 15 years ago (I was mid 40's then). they're nice to have but like you found, things get parked on it and never seem to move off by themselves...I can really see me getting another, and I have the space for it too, now when that will happen is anyone's guess. hell might freeze over first=:-)
Speaking of Hell and hot weather, it was in the 80's here today in central Fla., unlike 33 years ago today when we got hitched in Detroit and it was way below freezing, though it's supposed to be in the 60's in Detroit today...
