Default Lift on Sale

If you're in Canada and need a lift, Princess Auto has their Pro-Point hydraulic/pneumatic 1500lb lift on sale for $999.00. That's $500 off. I picked one up and it exceeds my expectations. It is just long enough to fit a bagger but I bolted a little extension to the front and moved the wheel chock forward six inches just to give me a bit more room. If you've been considering a lift this may be your solution.

This fat old man will no longer be on the floor or my knees to work on my bike. It's a Christmas miracle.

"686 Shooter", A harley, Avistar hangin' on the wall...

Great minds think alike!

Thanks for the tip on the lift. While I'm very much "south of the border", hopefully, it will help someone else.

Nice, someone will ask if you're a hoarder with all that stuff, lol. Go watch the Grey Cup ! Awesome lift for the price, sure beats the beat up on the knees.

You might find the side extensions get in the way, we have them on 2 lifts at the shop (for trikes) and the leaning over them to get to the bike can be a killer on the back. My lift has them set up so they can be slid out after the bike is loaded and secure. The table lift is a great tool, they take up a lot of room but make life much easier to service the bikes. Congrats.

You are going to love the lift, I have a black widow lift and love it, I don't mind the sides extending out, it give me extra room to put tools and parts, mine has poles that stick thru it to mount the sides, I can remove them if I want but I don't want or need too. Get yourself some non-skid tape and put it on the side extension and ramp, I bought some at menards in the camping section, it was like 10 bucks for a 15 foot roll.

Man, if that shelf makes him a hoarder, I am in trouble...

I must have missed a good thread, somewhere.

A nice stable lift is a pleasure to use. Anything less can really get your heart racing.
