Default Motorcycle Table Lift

Hi everyone,

Can anyone recommend a good inexpensive table lift. I'm not to happy with floor jacks because it sometimes prevents me from accessing underneath the bike. I've got bad knees so stooping and kneeling are a problem for me. A table lift would be helpful...

I have a Handy Lift. They make them that range from about $900 (what i have) to about $3000. Very good quality.

I have a www.directlift.com also and I don't know what I would do without it. Had it since 2003 with not a single problem.

DIRECT LIFT........a little more but worth every penny......I built my trike on it....lots of extra weight and it handles it no problem, very stable. I even park my trike on it in the garage......

One question? Do you need to bolt these lifts to the floor? The floor in my garage says don't drill or cut something about. Post Tensioned Slab
