Not sure if this will work for you or not, but here's an idea. I've been thinking about a lift table also and was worried I wouldn't have enough room, but I'm just gonna leave it on the floor and park my Silverado Pickup over top of it.
I've got the clearance under the truck to clear the table when it's all the way down.
Course, if you've got a lower vehicle, this probably won't work for you.

A lot of guys have limited floor space, so they're hesitant to buy one. Don't let that be the deal breaker. It barely takes up more room than your bike already does, so just do like I do. I have mine set up where I park the bike at, so I just park on the lift. I use it as my parking space. I just drive in to the chock, and get off. Don't even have to put the kick stand down.
I also have a Harbor Freight yellow jack, and used that until I got the lift table. It works OK, and if you're on limited duckets it will suffice. However, if you're going to buy a lift get one that will give you peace of mind... save up and spend a little extra - you won't regret it.

Here ya go. Here's a quick clip of the lift in action. It locks in at 18 inches, or 28 inches high. I have it at 18 inches in the clip. Please note that my bike is NOT strapped down. It's simply parked in the wheel chock. As you can see, it's plenty stable even though it isn't strapped down. Best money I've spent so far.......

heres my home made lift.first 2 pics are up/down 3rd is a short video..i have a block of wood i use for under the kickstand .just roll/ride the bike onto lift and place kickstand on the block of wood .i then get my straps in place get on the bike then cinch the straps down.done bike is solid ready to lift.also have 2 small dolly's for rolling it around the shop when not in use
i have a boat style hand crank winch on it,but an electric winch can easily be fitted ..this lift basic in design but effective and stable..i still have a bike jack for removing the wheels..this is great for detailing the bike just pull up a chair or stool and its at the right height
