Greetings! It seems that there are a multitude of threads concerning this lift table, but I was finding many that were very old (in Internet time), so here's a more recent one.

I picked this table up in July 2017, and so far I'm pretty pleased. I've only had the odd thing or two so far, such as bending the wheel dropout panel and high centering my Roady while backing it off the lift.

I put my BMW on first (I know, 'sacrilege!') but I wanted something with a center stand to test it first.

My Road King was next, after I re-placed that so-called 'wheel chock'. It doesn't have much space between the fender and the wheel stabilizer.

It takes some time to pump it to full height, but it's much nicer to work on instead of the floor jack I was using, which still had me on the floor for oil changes, making a huge mess to boot! It'll be much easier to do the fluid changes going forward!

I noticed some folks in other threads (older ones) that commented on the 'lock bar', but this one seems pretty solid. I didn't have my HD on it long enough, but had my Beemer up on it for over a week and it had a chance to settle on the bar. I seriously doubt that this bar will bend; it's a solid chunk of metal. I think the lift edges would dent first.

 

Hi pdbuzz,

Thanks for this review. I've been thinking about this one, and it's on sale now for $299 at my Harbor Freight. Your photos helped me decide!!!

You're welcome! I'm happy and it's actually much more solid on the floor than I was anticipating. Tighten down the front 'brace screws' so they're on the floor and you're set!

I picked mine up for $289 in SLC. I only had my Expedition, so I had them un-crate it there (and it saved me the unboxed wood cleanup too!) and loaded it into the back. It's pretty heavy piece of gear, so make sure you've got a buddy!

 

I've had mine for years. No problems, and best $300 I've spent. I've had one of my bikes parked on it since I've owned it.

 

+2 here. My dad & I both have one. My dad's is 5 years old and mine is 4 years old. Never had any issues with either one. We really like them and for the money, they're hard to beat. For what we do with them, they work fantastic!

 

My neighbor and I bought one several years ago, worked fine holding up my then-Harley for over a month. We took it out of the garage, and stored it along my block wall, but man...is that thing heavy!!!

 

Would anyone be able to share why they would want to have a lift vs. a high quality jack?

 

You may as well expect to be attacked by folks that paid two or three times what you did for their lift. Prepare for a barrage of insults! How dare you not purchase the same as they did! Blasphemy!

 

I've heard worse long as I've been married. Bring it on :-)

Authentic question.

 

Can the table be moved around with the bike sitting on it. I would also like to use it as a dolly to move the bike around the garage.
