I picked up a lift table on sale from Princess Auto, it's their house brand "Powerfist." Might be similar to the Harbor Freight one that many have commented about. Seems well built for the price, can use hydraulic or air connection, weighs 365 lbs. Got it on sale for $680 CAD, that's about $500 US. I am going to change the wheel chock to a better one, and I might add some fold down extensions to the sides to accomodate wider equipment like lawnmowers, etc.

 

I've seen some other brands that look exactly the same or very similar. I'm guessing that many brands are sourcing the table from the same place and reselling under their own banner.

 

"Powerfist" -sounds like a porno

 

That's hilarious ..... like a porno ....

Actually I've purchased a few oF their wheel chocks. A couple of trailer types aND a floor model for the garage. Princess Auto is one of the stores I go into where I always leave some cash behind.

 

Aside from the capability to use air, that table is otherwise identical to my Harbor Freight table. I've had mine a couple of years now, and despite the many who will no doubt tell me what a POS it is and they would never put their bike on one, it works well enough and does what it's supposed to do. I replaced the chock as well with another Harbor Freight piece that allows me to ride it in and step off the bike. A total of about $350 in it (US). It certainly does make cleaning and servicing easier.

 

Let me get this straight...you got a "PowerFist" from "Princess Auto?" Nice, but did it hurt?

JK, sorry...too easy. Nice lift tho.

 

I was going the table direction until I used the J&S lift.

 

I got a "Big Red" lift from, you guessed it, Princess Auto !

It was on sale for 89 Canadian pesos, (about 66 USD), rated at 1500 lb.


We got a "Fist" complex up here !!

 

What about a Big Red Power Fist?? Ewwwww....

 

I basically went the same route with the HF table & HF chock. I won't tell yours is a POS. I'll only say that I wasn't as fortunate as you. Hydraulics would no longer lift a bike after less than 2 years of limited use.
After much screwing around trying to make it work, I think I'm going with a new Titan 1000D. Best price I've found is $733. I think I can get it shipped for $141 because I've got a forklift. I'm still open to suggestions if anyone knows of a better deal for the same or comparable quality lift.
