It depends on how much $$$ you want to spend really.
Handy's are real good but pricey.

I have the Harbor Frieght foot pump one. I did change the chock out like NC-WillieG said. I use it for quads, snowmobiles, riding lawn mowers, and my bikes. Never feel uncomfortable putting any of them on there!

I have the pit bull jack with the turn table. Pit bull and J&S jacks talked about here the most.

As for the haborfreight coupon, google it like I do every time I need a coupon. There is a harbor freight coupon out right now, because I printed 3 of them and bought 3 different items.

J&S works great for me. No need to tie down. Just slide it under and pump it up.

Had a J&S for years - portable and very stable.

I have this one:
http://www.completehydraulic.com/lif...cle-tcmlw.html

There has been some discussion lately as to good or bad vendors, but this is the model I have. 1500lb capacity. I hook it up to my air compressor and have had no problems. I did replace the front wheel clamp with the Harbor Freight chock (the cheaper of the 2 models they carry). The 'W' model has the side extensions which can be turned upside down to use as tool trays, and includes the 1000lb capacity center jack.

I think you asked about a LIFT TABLE..... If so, go with a HANDY LIFT TABLE.... keep your eye on EBay or craigs list.... They show up all the time. There is a reason most bike shops use them. If you are looking for a JACK, go with J&S or PIT BULL. You get what you pay for.

Be Safe JIM

I know you said you're looking for a flat bed lift. Wondering if the Table Top with the Pitfull would fit what you're looking for. I've got the manual Pitbull and it is good quality. Also really easy to move the bike around the garage if you need to.

I've been doing a lot of searching and reading myself concerning these lift tables. No need to ask now.

That Weaver one looks pretty good. I don't want to break the bank, but I'm not cheap either. Might have to bite on the Weaver.

If anyone has any opinions, I'm looking for a table above the HF one, but not a shop table.
