I have a 1000lbs model of the Handy Lift. Before I bought I looked at a few shops.... Harley Dealerships and TV bike Builders..... Guess what... They all were using Handy lifts. I had mine over 12 years, strong as hell, never a problem. Small compressor is all you need.

Be Safe JIM

Take a look inside any quality motorcycle shop and most likely you'll see a Handy. They are more expensive then most but the quality is second to none. I never could figure out why someone would put a 20K dollar bike on a 200 dollar HF or eqiv lift..Also, if it's in good shape, 400.00 for a used Handy is a good deal......

I have two handy lifts and they work incredible well. For $400 if it is in good shape I would jump on it quick as it won't last long at that price!!!

Do not walk or waste time. Run. Buy it. You won't be disappointed. Handy lifts are the best out there.

I use a $200 lift on my Ultra Classic. been using it 3 or 4 years without any problems. If you know what you doing, you don't need a $1000 jack to change a tire, change oil or clean a bike. I have let my bike set on the jack for days at a time. I use a $120 jack on my $50000+ Cadillac and think nothing of it.
I also shop at bargain stores.

Probably a good deal. As a comparison here's an ad for a Direct Lift new in the crate.
