motorcycle table lifts?

"Go with the "Handy", I've had mine for 20 years and it still works great".



Aint no way that HF lift is gonna last 20 years!

Get the Handy every shop in the country uses them they last forever.

I ve had mine for 10 years, best tool investment ever made!
 
I think I'd rather buy the HF lift that works well and is like 800 bucks cheaper. I'll tip the delivery driver 100 bucks for "America".

Handy lasts 20+ years? Nah...I'll pass. I'll be into Gold Wings and maintenance plans by then... Last thing I want to be doing at 68 is working on motorcycles.

I have the complete hydraulic lift. Works great and IMO better quality than other lifts in the price range. Not quite as nice as the Handy lifts but not as expensive either.
I did a lot of shopping before I bought mine and almost went with a Handy until I saw the complete hydraulics. (I see that Handy now has a lift with drop outs at both ends, if they had that when i was shopping I probably would have spent the extra $$.)

Most lifts come with a clamp, I replaced it with a wheel chock from Harbor freight.
 
I bought a Handy that went through a shop fire for a $100 bucks, after a $11 rebuild kit(0-rings and bushings) it's given me 15 yrs of service. Wish I bought the other 2 he had.
One thing to note, you don't need to blow big bucks on a scissor jack, just use a car jack and fab it to fit under your scoot.

I have both a handy and a direct lift, the cyl on the handy went out and needed a rebuild after 10 years...
Granted, the direct lift is not as high of quality but does have a diamond plate tread which makes for great traction with wet tires. parts are easily available for both lifts so why spend 2x $$ on a handy
 
I bought the Handy lift setup late last year with all of the accessories...12" side extensions, front extension, wheel chock, rear drop tray, scissors jack, tool tray...it has been the BEST tool I have ever purchased to work on my Harleys, bar none!

BTW...I had some serious explaining to do with the wife when the Yellow Freight truck pulled up in front of the house! I guess I had forgotten to mention to her that I had spent $2,500.00 on something the size of a VW to go in my garage! Sigh...
