Often the terms lift and jack are used interchangeably, so when you ask a question or inquire about a product, make sure which item is actually be discussed.

Man, I was at the Indy Motorcycle Expo over the weekend, and they had a lift for sale for 499.00. Wish I had known you were looking for one!

I live in Indiana and purchased my lift from Greg Smith. Most likely the place selling the lift in Indy at the Motorcycle Expo. They offer shipping with additional charges. There lifts are made in China using their designs, with build directed by Greg Smith.

I purchased a lift large enough to service my motorcycles, golf carts, garden tractors, or 4 wheelers. There are 2 side rails that come off if you want to narrow up the lift. Mine is air, requires 80 PSI to lift a loaded bagger, over 90 psi to lift a Gator

Please do not order anything from Complete Hydraulics Sales and Service! They have an F rating with the BBB (71 complaints as of today) also many complaints with the Indiana Attorney Generals Office.

Okay with that out of the way I ended up ordering a Titan Lift and very happy with it. Couldn't justify the cost of the Handy Lift.
