Default Harbor Freight Lift

I bought a Harbor Freight 1000lb lift with a $200 off coupon. This is a great lift for the price. I also bought a wheel chock from Harbor Freight top replace the one that comes on the lift. The one that comes with the lift is a vise type so it takes two people to load the bike. It's a bit tricky getting the Street Glide on the lift because with the fairing, you cannot see the front wheel going into the chock. But after a few times on and off, you get a feel for it. Anyways, just thought i'd post a pic of the bike on the lift.

Been thinking about getting a lift, but hadn't decided on which brand. I see this is a manual, hydraulic table so I wanted to know how difficult it is to get the lift to maximum height?

Can it fold up and be pushed against a wall?

I built two "wings" out of 2x10 lumber for some place to put your feet while guiding on to lift. I also have a mirror on the wall so I can see the wheel chock. Lifts the road glide easily.

Not difficult at all. It's a foot pedal mechanism. Easy as pie. We have one & it gets used!
