Just wanted to hear from users of the Harbor Freight Lift Table. Want to know of any issues to date with this unit.

Here's a forum photo from member HAPBOB

Thanks in advance

 

I got mine in December. I really like it and have had no problems with it. I did however, change the wheel chock on it. The one that comes with it is pure junk.

 

I have a couple of friends that have them and they both like'em..

 

I've had one for about 10 years. The wheel chock that came with it went straight into the scrap bin but the table has served me well.

 

Pros
Cheap
Makes working on the bike easy
Tie down points
Seems to last ( most people that have them report good things, even the shops that use them)
Lay down pretty flat so even if you don't have much space you can always store your bike on them
Stable

Cons
Need to immediately swap over that wheel press into a real wheel chock the ones HF has are fine to add on, drill and mount
Can't convert to air unless you are magiver
(Some bitch it's not made in USA)
Some can't handle the drive on narrowness so you may need to add some wood to the sides (I don't have that problem with my SG or the wife's Fat Boy)

For the money there's better

 

Love mine. It is narrow going to find some old running boards or something I can fab to throw on the sides and be easily removed. One of these days lol. If I was using it for a shop where bikes were on and off a lot I would opt for air powered as cranking it up with your foot would get old. But for the money and the average garage it's great. Mine has bled down slowly a couple times for some reason other than that no problems

 

Had mine for about 3 years. Use it all the time, just wish it could be converted to air lift.

 

I use mine for my bikes, snowmobiles, and lawn mower over the last 6 years. Has always worked well. I did build a different wheel chock though. Once you have one you'll wonder why it took so long to get it because they are a real back saver!

 

I have the exact same set up including the wheel chock. The only downfall to this

is there is no way to spin the wheels freely to clean and polish them. As the one member stated they are narrow to drive on. I made 1 foot wide ramps that are exactly the same size as the table so I can have my feet down on something stable while I drive on the lift.

 

HF is code for cheap discount over stock stuff.
Most of what hey sell in JUNK.
And chances are the long you have it the more you will agree.
