For those that have that Lift will it work as a portable work table
I see wheels under it, does it roll pretty easy?

I might use it as a table if that looks like its possible, after i change the oil in the bike lol

Rolls well with or without a bike on it.

The friend I mentioned has a little mini-storage portable on his driveway. He actually parks his bike on the lift, so you don't really need any more room than it takes to park without dinging the bike.

One of my friends sold his bike and got a trike. Now his wife is using the lift as a work space - lift to paint chairs and tables.

I bought a used one for $175.00 used it when I changed cams,used it to install drop seat kit worked just fine. However if I made a living working on bikes I would spring for a handy but for the average guy that doesn't have a lot of money to spend these lifts will do what you need.

Not sure I understand. Are you raising the wheels or just moving to save space?
They seem to get the job done..

OK - do you also lift the tires? I noticed lots of people farther north doing that. We don't have the cold or long down time so I don't know why they do this.
Not to get off subject - I never meant to imply those lifts don't work, only that if you use them often, you may want to consider an upgrade. Like impacts and air ratchets vs wrenches.
