I bought the Titan lift with the side extensions and I am very happy with it. It does take up some room but is really nice when you want to work on bike. I like the fact that the Titan goes up higher than any of the other lifts I checked on about 42" I think it makes a big difference so I don't have to bend over as much, it saves on your back.

 

I sure would like to see some pictures.

 

got them both. a jack and a lift. I use the dickens out of the lift. with my old creaky knees, it is a hell of a lot easier on my body to do services, tire changes, oil changes and all around maintenance with the lift. no more laying on the ground or kneeling with the jack.
The material used in the HF lift is really thin compared to the Handy. I weighed getting the HF lift, but decided to buy something well made in America.

 

Is there an echo in here?

Dude we must be on the same wavelength or something. Read my above post and note my homemade chock on my used Handy. I've been called Scoot/Scooter since friggin' Jr high. It's what the plate reads on the 2 of my bikes.

 

Think I am going to wait and go with the handy or a direct lift. This looks like what I really want add 50 − 100 more for a scissor jack and I am set:

Would like to have the side extensions to make getting the bike on the lift easier and then can leave one on for a tool and parts shelf.

 

That looks like a damn fine lift. You're smart holding out....do it right and it's a one time purchase w/o regrets. Good luck.

 

Says the guy that doesnt have a table!

The only thing a jack is good for is washing a bike.

With a table and a scissor jack you can do everthing at a comfortable work height.

Jacks are great if you like crawlin around on your knees, ever seen a shop without table lifts?

 

absolutly no problems with my Harbor Freight lift table OR my Harbor freight wheel chock.
I ride the bike up on the table, into the chock, it locks it's self in and I hop off the bike. I put on the tie downs as added security.
Did I mention I hop off the bike? No Need for another person to close the front wheel vise while the the rider is holding the bike up on the lift table.
To get it off the lift table, I remove the tie down straps and put them away (notice I am off the bike now, it's still on the lift table in the wheel chock and is not tilting, leaning, or otherwise in jeopardy of falling), then I hop on the bike, put feet on the floor, and pull back on the bars and she comes right out of the chock and rolls off the lift table.

 

I have a line on a used Handy with out a drop out in the rear. Is it still possible to do a rear wheel removal w/o the cut away or drop off??

 

you can still do it, just requires jacking the back of the bike up a bit more.
