    Motorcycle lift table ? Options?

    I've been looking at getting a lift table as Ive now got a bit of room at work. eBay has a few that look ok?

    Has anyone got or used this?
    The trex compressed air option would be preferred over the foot pumped unit, but it's saying 2min to raise to full height. Seems a long time?

    I use my trusty old timber work platform that I knocked up over a few beers.

    I'd love a lift style one, but can't justify the price of it.

    As for the 2 minutes, is that really much of an issue? It probably takes me nearly two minutes to get my ramp out and the bike on the platform and then secure it anyway.

    If you're not too fussed about the look, you could build a wooden one yourself for less than $100, and spend the rest on go fast bits 😉

    +1 for either one. I have the second version with the more basic foot pump. Biggest advantage over the wooden platform for me is the adjustable working height. I can tweak the bike height to be able to work at a comfortable level. Good for the back and also allows me to relax while working from a roller workshop stool for most jobs. I have several different types of bikes so the perfect height varies. One thing that I changed on my unit is the front pad material that clamps the front wheel. Was a hard plastic, which I changed to a high density rubber instead.

    Sweet, I'm not keen on using a table, I'd drop it eventually
    So you're is the Armor Blt brand? I suppose there's not much to them, properly all the same. (Ish)

    Mine looks like it came out of the same china factory, just different brand sticker or importer I guess. About the only thing I can see different is mine doesn't have the oil trap door, but I just use a plastic oil catch tray anyhow. Had mine about 4 years now and would buy the same again. Would only trade up to a better quality unit if my bikes were a lot heavy like a gold wing or similar or I was using it everyday in a workshop.

    Motorcycle lift table ? Options?

    Set it up yesterday, pretty happy out of the box, it's defiantly going to get a lot of use.
    Few little things.
    It's a bit slippery, will need some grip tape, carpet or something?

    And Could do with being 100 mm longer when on both front and rear stands it just seems a little short, the front stand over hangs a bit. I didn't install the front wheel clamp because then you couldn't remove the front. I might look at extending it somehow, just for peace of mind.

    The air operated lifting is a pretty cool option takes only about 35 sec to get to working height and its really quite stable when up.

    +1 for the grip tape. Works well on my trailer door.
    Lift looks ace mate. Shame it's a bit short... Would be good to have the option of a variety of stands.
    As you say tho, probably no big deal to extend it a bit.
