Bike lifts
I know it's not model specific,but looking to get into a good solid lift for my shop . Not one of the jack type lifts,but a good shop quality air type scissor lift. I'm sure some of you have them, and looking for models that are worth checking out and of course worth the $$.Those that have one shoot me some advice,and direction if you would.Thanks ahead for the flips.

i think a lot of people use the table lifts from Harbor Freight.. supposed to be good quality for not a load of coin.. I still use a jack lift from PepBoys that i got for $29, but that's no where near shop-quality

Received catalogs and all but was always skeptical with some ridiculously low prices against quality.I will take a look though.I will always have use for my jack-lift also.Thanks again.

I've bought/used Harbor Freight products and am very happy with the results so far.

The harbor freight lift is CRAPPY. I would NEVER trust a full size Harley on it. Handy lifts for the win.

STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM "COMPLETE HYDRAULIC SALES AND SERVICE in Franklin, IN"!!
See my post here: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/gener...d-service.html and you can also check the BBB and Indiana Attorney General.
OK with that out of the way, I just bought a Titan lift and very happy with it! Bought the 1000lb XLT.
I have some pics if you want to see it.
I like it because it comes with the extension so I can put any of my bikes on it from the 06 Deluxe and my Shovel Chopper with a 16"os springer. Also came with the side extensions, wheel vise, drop out rear and also a panel that has rollers for the rear wheel.

Look around on Craigslist and other sites. I found my HANDY IND lift for $375. It was a steal at that price. Very solid and worth every penny. i have seen many other lifts and most don't compare. That said, there are other lifts that are good lifts to get, TITAN and K&L are two great ones.
