Most common professional shop lift for several decades, it's all in what you want and have space for, with the extensions they have a big footprint.

I guess if you're doing a major bike build the better table would be worth it but for me if I needed a lift table I'd choose the $300 HF table but it's not my money and I doubt I'll ever need a lift table.

You'll never regret it. They're bulletproof and trouble free. Yeah, you can find cheaper tables, but they won't have the rock-solid feel your Handy lift does.

My chinese copy of the handy lift table (with side extensions) was one of the best shop tools I've ever bought. I use it for my motorcycles, ATV's and lawnmowers and it also works as an general adjustable height work table. It does take up some room with the extensions, but I couldn't live without it at this point.

Yep, you made a good choice. My buddy has 3 in his shop, never had an issue.

I've had my Handy BOB for almost a year. Love it. I looked at many including the HF. My son has one and another guy also has the HF. They are ok. I wasn't looking for OK , I'm putting a 25000 dollar bike on it. I wanted rock solid versatile and parts available. I have a separate shop so space wasn't an issue. I work on any and everything , mower,atv the Handy is the best,also doubles as work bench. No regrets. And I bought local 30min away.

I've had one for several years. Keep in mind that when your bike is elevated, your life may depend on the integrity of that lift.

I have a couple of the Handy lifts in my garage. Never a problem, they are great lifts. You made the right choice!
