Default Black Widow Pro-Lift 1500 lb. Got One!

BW - Prolift - HD

I finally purchased a lift. I could not pass up this deal for a quality new lift.

I purchased my tire machine last year from Mile-X Equipment and was happy all around with the price, quality, shipping, etc.

I received an email that this lift was on sale for $250.00 off which got my attention and I started researching it. During this time I received an extra discount code for 10% off.

I looked at it again a few days later and received a discount code for 15% off. I put it in my cart and slept on it. Before I could click buy they sent me another 20% off discount code.

This was too good to pass up. The $250 off plus another 20% put it delivered to my garage with tax and shipping for $1,190.00 total.

I got it set up today and I'm very happy. it came with an extension for longer bikes that I will probably never use. I have two really nice scissor lifts for under the bike, so I probably will not use this one that comes with it.



It came packaged very well.






















I was surprised to see a cylinder repair kit if needed.



Replacement parts if needed.



It came with a very nice color manual.




I have not stuck the traction tape on yet. Will probably place on the ramp.

Looks real nice. Having a table lift makes bike repairs much more pleasant.

Cosmic, looks really nice, I keep going back and forth on these. I too use 2 scissor jacks for serious work, or my J&S for everything else.

With your new setup, you will be pushing it up on the lift, correct? The ones with the side panels, it seems you could just ride it on. Am I correct about this?

That's a copy of a Handy lift but painted black and red. Not sure what the Handy goes for in comparison but I picked up a barley used Handy for $1000 Canadian about a year ago which was a score.

Default Pricing Details

I’ve had a couple of PM’s asking about pricing. It appears they cannot get the price I got online at this time.

Here are the details and copy of the invoice:

I purchased the lift from Discount Ramps.

Regular Price as published was $1,299.99

On sale for $250.00 off bringing it to $1,049.99

They first sent an email for an additional 10% off, then a day or two later a code for 15% off. Another day or two I get the offer below for 20% off and I jumped on it.

The promo code was: Get20


$1299.99 - $250.00 = $1049.99

$1049.99 - 20% ($210.00) = $839.99

Shipping (Home Lift Gate ) + $275.00

NC Sales Tax + $75.26

Grand Total = $1,190.25

Hey man, I hope all is good your way. The J& S is a great jack that I will still use from time to time, but I am really looking forward to this lift. I’m tired of working off the floor!

You are correct about the loading process of the narrow lifts. You have to push them up either with power, or without. That said I have a third option. I built about 15 years ago some step up wooden ramps for my Mustang out of 2x10’s. When I flip these over with the flat side up they make the perfect extension to allow me a solid place on each side for my feet. They are the perfect height. I do have to create a short bolt on extension to support the one end. I’ll send pictures when I get it all completed. I can easily move them to and from the lift as needed and still use them as ramps. My boss recently borrowed them for a project on his C7 Corvette.

For me I just want to be up close to the bike. The extensions are a disadvantage at least I think. My wife feels different and was upset I didn’t order them!

I have a rolling tool cabinet. I’ll use the top of that for for a work bench instead of these extensions.

I picked up some 3M Safety Walk tape today at Lowes and lined the center of the lift. There was one wide piece sent with the lift just long enough for the ramp. This stuff really works nicely

I have owned Handy Lifts for at least 15 years, and never saw a need to put non skid on the table.

You might consider just using the non skid on the ramp(s).

Non skid on the working surface will be a pain to clean.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I rushed after seeing a few people on YouTube add some. It is on there now, so I’ll see how it works out.

Thanks
