Anyone have experience with this? http://www.harborfreight.com/500-lb-capacity-hydraulic-table-cart-60730-10041.html
My back is killing me after working on my compressor.
Thanks,

Sorta.... I was looking at buying that one, but I ended up getting the 1000 lb rated lift table.

Online, they use the same picture for both of them... the 500 and the 1000 lb. Unfortunately, they use the 1000 lb lift table picture. In my opinion, the 500lb one is not worth it. I bought the 1000lb version when it was on sale and I used a 20% off coupon. I forget if I paid $244 or a bit less for it.... I thought it was worth it....

The 1000 lb one is literally twice the machine that the 500lb... I thought there would be minimal differences.... If you can, go check them out at the store before buying. Also, the 500lb one is the HF orange, while the 1000lb one is the metallic silver/grey.

I'm quite happy with the 1000lb unit....

i have the 500 lb one. used it last month to support a motor and trans during an engine swap. it doesn't look like the sturdiest thing out there, but it worked for my purpose.

I've been really considering the 500# one for working on the quads and lawn mower and such does anyone else have a review or maybe a picture if they are t the same

500 is now the silver/grey color. This is at stores in nashville.

I have one that looks the same but it's rated at 660 lbs. It's been great for its intended use but I also find it handy as a small welding table and for assembling items on. Being able to adjust the height of what you are working is great.

I made a few changes to mine. I found that the handle was more of a nuisance than it was worth so I removed it. I replaced the height hand control with a simple foot control that I fabbed up.

I also made a 2" lip out of angle iron which allows me to now clamp things to the table.

All if the quads I work on are in the high 300 to low 400# range so I think the weight would rating would be ok how r they for stable was also looking at this www.harborfreight.com/1500-lb-capacity-atvmotorcycle-lift-60536.html just think the table would be more stable and a more comfortable height

I have the 500lb cart and it has served me well. I just used it to unload 2 500lb key cabinets and it handled each of them with ease and lowered nice and slow when I needed it to. I do wish it lifted just a little higher so that it met my truck tailgate but it's not the end of the world for my use.

I've heard minimal reviews of the 1500lb capacity motorcycle lift being decent. Maybe that would let you accomplish what you need to do and be more versatile as well.

The biggest problem with the 1500# lift is the low lift height 17" just barely gets the tires off the ground let alone gets it to a comfortablework height

500 and 1000 had very different sized "tables" last I looked. Most of the HF stores I think use a 1000 around the store.

I decided not to buy due to lack of floor space to store the unit, and plan to get by using cherry picker and normal tables to work on.
