motorcycle lift table

[rickyboy]

Well I found a Princess Auto that had one of those wheel chocks and today I removed the vice chock that was on the lift table, and replaced it with the new chock.
Here are a couple of snap shots. Maybe tomorrow I'll find time to install my new "Idaho Jack adapter" from Bud. Then see how that works with my scissor jack on the table lift. Gaud!! it's like Christmas in April. {almost cold enough too} :(

Thanks goes out to Denis "time bandit" for his pictures and help. :)

Glad to see you found on Rickyboy!!!! looks good, and will make it a lot more stable. I like it for the quick lock in and get off no problems and no help required!!! Great way to do quick service on your bike and cleaning as well. And the nice thing about that chock is you can use it if ever have to transport the bike and if you wanted to sell it lots of people who would want one.
Wish I had room for a table, but alais just no room :(

Ricky from looking at your picture do you have that chock hanging over the end of the lift table? all the strength side to side is in the rectangle tubing on the front. maybe there is something I can't see.

[rickyboy]

Yes "ol'biker" It hangs out about 6 inches past the table it's self. It is bolted down with three 5/8"
bolts and seems very secure. I was thinking of adding on to the frt end of the table so what you see hanging over, is supported. But it really seems secure. I have tried forcefully twisting, pushing, lifting and it doesn't move at all. I will keep my eye on it though.

Great Ricky it just worried me when I saw it but I would add something under it.

Rickyboy, mine only has 2x 1/2"bolts holding ::) bike is stable on it and doesn't move/bend the front at all!

I went back to the garage and took hold of the wheel chock by the protruding portion, and tried to pull, push, twist, shake, you name it. That thing won't budge no how!. Perhaps if the wheel/tire was over the edge of the table there might be an issue. But it doesn't.

Ricky,
So in the end, what's the grand total on the princess set up
(or did you get your table elseware - from the states).

Table
Wheel chock
idaho adaptor

Hi Brian, I picked the lift up privately in Seattle. It;s not a Harbor Freight or P.A. lift. This is a Bend/Ranger lift with side extensions http://www.bendpak.com/shop-equipmen...RML-750HD.aspx
I got the P. Auto chock for $49.00 The lift cost me $750. Retails for double that. A lot of money but I'm happy with it. Princess Auto was sold out of the same lift. I'm not sure the quality is the same either. NOT TO SAY that there;s anything wrong with a Harbor Freight or Princess Auto one either.

I would ask a favor of you Rickyboy. Can you when the lift is down to the bottom all the way measure it from the deck to the floor and tell me the height. also the width without extensions on from side to side. I am looking at that link and it does seem slightly lower then I remember from the P.A one that I've seen here locally, which I didn't measure and now they don't have it.
I ask as if you run a car over it how much clearance is needed if you took off the wheel chock and just left the flat deck part? i have a Miata I normally store in the garage and if it would roll OVER this when all the way down then it's possible. What is the weight load limit on this one? Not sure it would work or not? but would be interesting to see? For winter storage or when HAD to do work on the vehicle I think with the right style of fastners would be able to move this out of the way when required. Again depends on dimension.
Thanks

Scott

OK Scott, Let me run down to the garage and get a measurement,............

[rickyboy]

NOW this is just the table lift!!
Length is ........80.5" inches.
Width is.......... 29.5 " inches.
The table lift measures 7" from the floor to the top of the table top.
I do know the lifts restriction on weight varies depending on the seller But the guy I bought it from said it's 1650 lbs. I have seen some sellers advertise 1500 lb capacity.

If anyone else is reading this and is curious about the side extentions .........they're 11" wide.

[ve3hzz]

Cool thanks for the info Rickyboy, that is what I needed to know.

And I would think they are all about the same give or take a 100lbs or so.

appreciate it.

Scott

Not too sure about the weight capacity being "about the same give or take a 100lbs or so"
Princess Auto/Harbor Freight is a lot less I think. Some where around 1000 lbs. for those. Check to be sure.

My princess auto says 1200lbs. That`s what the sticker says but can be changed if you know somebody that owns a sign shop
