The first one I ordered from they took my money and didn't have one to send gave some BS story its coming in a container Blah Blah, called my bank to disput the charge and got my money back before they went bankrupt, but I found the same lift from nhproequip.com and got the side panels. Its a good lift table

 

You are right I could of re-engineered it if I had brought it used but new it had to go. I even talk with the Manager to see if we could try another safety bar or get a discount to off set the repair but all he said was it is what it is.

 

I'm just thinking it would save you about $500 to fix it......just my way of doing things usually.

 

Mike I know you are right but I am 63 years old and all I think of is I can't move fast enough to get out of it's way. Few years ago mine were bigger than they are now.

 

There may be someone who does know but if you add anything to the lift like side extensions either ones made for the table or ones made at home for the HF lifts that is added to the weight of what on the lift. So you have a 895# MC + 100# of side extensions on a 1000# rated lift that leave you with 5# lead way in other words 1 Wrench 1 Hammer and 2 Screwdriver the lift is overloaded

 

An answer to a different question, but I have an Atlas 1500 from Greg Smith Equipment.

I've had it 5 or 6 years, and no issues, I absolutely love it. I did put a chock in place of the vise before I used it.

Rated to 1500lbs, and raises to 43 inches.

Side extensions and chopper extension. I bolted the chopper extension on permanent, and can move my wheel chock if needed, if not, I've got room in front of the front tire to place my service manual while I work.

DXHD, I have a lift comparable to the first one listed but different color and mine does not have the roller tray. Absolutely love this thing.

 

When I bought my HF lift table, I was more concerned about space and weight than I was about the cost of the lift.
For $299 it's hard to go wrong.
I think the safety bar issue was corrected, and if I'm not mistaken the new part number/item number was stated in the HF ad.

I also eliminated the front wheel vice that came with the lift and replaced it with the HF wheel chock.
We also relocated the safety tie down hooks and added an additional set near the rear saddlebag rails for extra safety.

As a note, if you're having a problem backing the bike out of the wheel chock, you may want to change the location of the "pivot bolt" in the chock and see if that helps.

My friend also bought the same lift and he made two sets of wood side boards (for us) that makes the loading and unloading of a bike on the lift much safer.
The side boards are attached to the lift before loading, and must be removed in order to access the pump handle and also the lowering handle.
Once the lift is lowered back to the floor, the side boards are reattached to the lift and the bike can be taken off of the lift.

 

I have the one from red line. Works great. I us it for bike and my snowmobile. With my FL on it I can climb up on the lift with it and it is still very stable. The extral lift hight is what I was looking for, dont have to bend very far over to access the bottom of the bike.
