Lift Table - Princess Auto (Canadians Only...) $444.44 air/hydraulic operated.

Princess Auto in Canada has a motorcycle lift table on special buy right now. It's a Chinese unit, similar to what they'd sell at Harbor Freight. Here's the link:

I ended up grabbing one even cheaper as it was returned due to hydraulic leak. An o-ring fixed the leak, and some fabrication work resulted in a much nicer wheel chock. Please excuse the messy shop!

 

Renns, very cool. Thank you for sharing this.

 

You'll love it

 

Nice, been wanting one for a while now but no spare cash for it at the moment. Probably a good job you don't disclose your location, you might have gotten visitors looking to use your lift..... just saying.....

 

Hey, I'm just south of Kitchener. VFR's always welcome!

I wasn't really in the market either, money-wise, but the Kitchener Princess store had the unit sitting outside the front door, marked down to $100 as it was leaking oil. I just couldn't pass it up, as I knew I'd regret it every time I hunched over to work on a bike/atv/lawnmower... It was just before closing, and I figure they priced it aggressively so they didn't have to drag it back inside. The local Tractor Supply Co had the correct metric sized o-ring in stock, so it ended up being an easy fix.

Build quality isn't bad, but they do rely on the buyer to grease everything properly on assembly. There are lube holes at the pivots, but no grease fittings. I wasn't keen on that, so I drilled and installed grease fitting in all locations. It works nice and smooth now that all joints are lubed properly. It's a good thing I went through it in detail as well, as some of the bolts were only finger tight. That could have ended badly!

 

I like my broom handle lift better-cost me nothing

 

I don't even want to think where that broom handle might have been:hss:

That's a dead ringer for the HF setup alright. Does that also have the foot pump? The air/hydraulic HF I looked at didn't have the foot pump IIRC. Believe me your knees and your back will thank you. I use mine a lot.

 

FJ12, the one I bought is foot-pump only, although strangely the hydraulic ram has a sticker on it referring to use with the air-motor add-on. It's not hard to pump up, so I doubt I'm missing much with the air-motor add-on.

 

I would have one of those in a heart beat except there is not enough room in my garage to dedicate that much space. I also have a truck load of different woodworking tools and oak stored in there as well. In my spare time, I like to make sawdust for my wife's floors in the house. She loves me for that.

 

I'm just over in Guelph, That's my local PA too! Smoking deal on that. Had I seen it, it would be mine. I would rather ask for forgiveness than ask for permission on that deal with my wi.... er.... bank manager.

 

Here is mine

 

Turn the lights on! I can't see a thing!
