I don't know if this question has been asked before. Since I have limited space, is it possible to lean it on a side against the wall? Trying to figure out away to have one. Any replies are appreciated.

I've done it, but they're pretty heavy for one guy to try and tip it up against a wall. Shipping weight on mine was 525#. But that includes the roller plate and ramps, which you wouldn't have on when flipping it over. But still it would be pretty damned heavy. Even the HF table probably goes well over 300#.

Thanks 2Goldens, I appreciate your feedback. If I was to lean it I am sure I would try and get someone to help me. Really thinking about getting one.

The low buck Redline looks suspiciously like an air operated HF to me. Compare the pics and see what you think. For a few more bucks, the Titan I got is much heavier duty looking. If you look at Redline's next 2 modes up (MC1K, DT1K) they looks quite a bit like the Titan 1000D.
For less money, here's a much better looking lift than that $649 Redline - https://www.lift-tables.net/rage/bw-1000a.php
And yes, I think many of the lifts you see out there are rebadged Titans. When I was involved in my failed project to convert a HF table to air, I need a Titan hydraulic pump base. They have a customer service guy at Titan named Avijit who is fantastic to deal with. Always returns emails and often phoned me instead of emailing.

That Black Widow is sold local on Craigslist, seems like a well made unit for the $$.

Think it will be my next purchase.

I just looked at CL in SF and I don't see it. Curious as to what it is and cost.

Kinda wish I'd seen it before I bought the Titan. Might have saved $100. Oh well. It's done now.

Thanks. I thought they looked the same too. I'll check out the Titan.

this is the one I've been seeing... http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/tld/5947133067.html


Now that I look closely it's not quite the same.

One word of advice. The link I showed for the Titan is where I bought mine. They suggested that I get the side extensions, but I elected not to. I should have, as it was actually a little narrower than my old HF table. Buying the extensions after the fact is prohibitive due to freight cost.
I made my own with some pipe and 2x10 lumber that I had around the garage. Some guys have also built their own extensions that simply sit on the floor to give you somewhere to place your feet when riding the bike onto the lift.

That doesn't look all that bad from the pics shown. Probably comparable to the Titan that I went with. And if it's in your area maybe you could pick it up and save freight $$$.
