Hi Ron,

If you do a search for lift on the General Board, you'll find some posts. This has been discussed a lot. Also most recently someone cut into their garage floor, and recessed the lift table to it's flush to the floor. Very nice job.

found it.

Searched lift, and got a lot of info.

Ron, the unit from Harbor Freight has had decent reviews, but it has a limit of 1,000 lbs, which is cutting it close. Several Spyder riders have modify the table for 3 wheels and seem to be satisfied with its performance. It goes on sale regularly, but it's usually $430, and with the obligatory 20% discount comes in under $350.

Reasonably priced and good quality?  Really?   Spend a few bucks more and get a HandyLift.  I have the BOB 1500 and it has served me well for about 15 years.

Tom we all don't have the money you have.  Cheesy I don't know how often I would use it and how long will it take to get my money back. Did you get the side tables?

Yeah you PAUPER.... LOL..   I did not get the side tables. Dave made me two boxes that I put along side the lift when I use it...  Had he not done that I would have gotten the side tables. You should also get the Trike adapter as this lift will easily lift your Trike. That way you will have an easier time when you Wax the lower portions of both bikes..... 2funny

If you would like to see it in action take a ride over my GW will be on it for a few days...

Thanks Sourdough. I already have that coupon, but I have not settled on which lift to get yet. Any other recommendation out there on lifts other than HF or Handy?

Big Tom I may have a line on a used Handy, but only time will tell. I would rather do that than the HF.

Ron, Here is a trike extension for a Handy lift. You could use one of these also...

Man, I would love to have the room for a lift table...maybe when we buy a house. And the Valk could have her own garage. The pitbull lift I have now gets the job done...

FYI, If you have a high clearance vehicle you can park over the Handy lift. That is what I did when I had my Dodge P/U.
The actual height of the Table is 7.5 inches.  I could never do it with my Corvette but I'm pretty sure that my Outback would clear..

There's three model for the lift tables.....

I like  B.O.B. 1500 and perfect for me to work on both lift table.

I have been working on trikes few times and I got tired of working on floor so I decided to make something to work with my lift tables. I come up with my idea so here's the video,  I know the sides table to go with lift table are ridiculous expensive....
I only paid like $100 for it....

I don't think I have seen this many options on a lift...  It's got so many extensions it would probably fit a Miata....
