I have something similar to that (just a different brand). It is ok for changing tires and cleaning. But I use my table lift 99% of the time.

LOL, if I keep getting "barn finds" I won't have room to turn aroundi have no space for a large table type. hard to store when not in use.
Many of us use these type of lifts. Available at Northern as you've said, less expensive at Harbor Freight but it's the same jack. They have an 18" lift and are reasonably stable lifting GWs without tying it down and works well for most of us old guys.DocRoot wrote:Does this kind of lift make any sense?

"The engine of Damoclese" Quite brilliant, who said the classics were useless?
plus a '79 CX500 and a 400 yammer '82 that doesn't get to hang out with the big boys. I did make more space by hanging some extra engines from the rafters (the engine of Damoclese), and welding and painting goes to the hay loft.

TSC had them on sale here for $70 last spring so I finally broke down & bought one. Its OK but I am not overly impressed with it at least for working on my machines.DocRoot wrote:Does this kind of lift make any sense? Northern tool sells this a $99, rated 1500 lb
That is one thing I wish mine had...as long as you have room you can move mine, but if you are in tight quarters, it does make it difficult, being I have only 2 wheels that swivel.CYBORG wrote:the down side for me would be the casters on one end. one my jack, all four corners swivel. makes moving the bike while on the lift a breeze.
mine only has swivel casters on one end.... but now that I think about it, there is no reason I cannot switch out the fixed ones with swivelsCYBORG wrote:the down side for me would be the casters on one end. one my jack, all four corners swivel. makes moving the bike while on the lift a breeze.
