I have that lift for my Dyna Low Rider I have no issues with it ,moves pretty well on smooth concrete floors in my shop and the front wheel chock could use some better design, if ya google it there are a couple pics and You Tube videos about how to fab a better one . I made a wooden block with rubber on the bottom that is as high as the lift is when fully down to put kickstand on it so I can load bike on it by myself , great tool for $299.00 .
Buy the lift for $299 and use the 25% coupon for a new wheel chock. Don't forget to put the rubber caps on the levelers and a piece of heater hose on the ramp.
I've had mine for about 4 years. Its developed a leak on the bleed down side. It looks like a bad O-ring. For the price you can't go wrong.

Had the same thing happen to my Craftsman lift. Was going to rebuild it and researched the complete cylinder and bought it delivered for $33. Let us know how you make out with this.
7/8"x36" 1144 Stressproof round $17.51 McMaster Carr. Ordered it last night along with some other supplies and materials I like to keep around for "just in case". The only negative about the Stressproof is that it can't be welded. I'll have to drill and tap the end for an eye-bolt. http://www.mcmaster.com/#6628k52/=q9hluw
Wanted to give a shout out to this vendor (McMaster). Bought my lift table used and it leaks slightly and every bar I used bent. Ordered this one @ 4:00 PM Tuesday and it was delivered to south Alabama Wednesday afternoon. Can't beat that. Only concern was web site didn't give shipping cost before order was placed so I was skeptical but final invoice showed shipping to be less than 9 bucks. A satisfied customer (and no, I don't work for them).
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.....
In regards to the o-ring fix, I was right on with the o-ring leaking. I also found out that if you over tighten the compression pipe fitting you might cause damage to the bleed by ball at the bottom of the fitting. Look at the break down diagram that you get with lift for pictures of what I'm writing about. Remember to all ways strap her down while she's on the lift.
