I think it comes down to how much you going to use it. I have a HF table and it works great for what I do. It has never let me down in five years. I would like to have a nicer table but I don't know why because this one does all I have ever needed it to do and the money I saved on it went into more bike goodies.

I bought my Titan here: https://www.lift-tables.net/titan/10...FVdahgodCoANeA
Had I seen it, I may have saved a hundred or so and gone this route: https://www.lift-tables.net/rage/bw-1000a.php
My HF table experience was less than stellar, as I noted in my other reply. Pretty much a waste of everyone's time to elaborate on it. It won't happen again.
As hattitude notes, "There are many that are the same with different labels, many that are the same design with different quality (materials used), and several with quality materials, but different design/limitations."

With the wheel chock removed, on any of these tables, generally speaking of course, can a suv ride over it without hitting it? I was thinking of getting one too. I was thinking of letting it stay flat and park my car over top of it. So no wasted space.

My hf table is under our Silverado, it also fits under my Tahoe. The wheel chock is off of course. I was worried about the clearance under the trucks so I parked the truck in the garage and then pushed the table under it, fit with no problem at all

Depends on the lift.... My K&L is 8" high, when totally collapsed.

I don't buy cheap tools.... they cost too much to replace them... 30K plus on a bike and then take a chance dropping it.... IMO you need both, a lift table and a floor jack. I use the table for service and the jack for washing. Why do most shops and dealerships use Handy lift tables ?? They work well. I have worked on a HF at my friends home... it worked but not well... He told me he paid about 230 at HF and then another 175 for a Condor wheel vice and it still was a iffy table... I got my Handy off of eBay used for 500. I have never had a problem, pulling or pushing on pipes or any type of work on on many bikes. Many think of it as "over kill" but I am very happy with it.

handy is big $$$ now, for about 1G you can get like the one pictured with side extensions, low jack, rear drop out panel + run by air. sold under many brands but about the same, so if your close to a dealer save $$$ on shipping!! i got mine from NHProEquipment 1G delivered for the Pro 1200 kit. you want the removable side extensions making the table 4' wide to safely get on the table + put down the sidestand until your locked in the front wheel vice. one or both sides can be removed for easy access. i bought 1" pipes cut shorter to use one side extension only, they are held on with pins included, best $$$ i ever spent, tired of working on the floor!!!!

I'm curious...how did you get the bike up there? I'm guessing you didn't ride it up because that lift is fairly narrow and there'd be no place to put your feet. But I can't imagine you pushed it up there!
