[Derrickwade]

[sbhockey]

Not mine, taken from another site.

Anymore info on this one? Looks like an ATV lift stretched into a table.

 

[vader1701]

This is my lift, glad I bought it I use it for many things...

 

[ed_h]

A home-brew lift mostly from on-hand stuff-->

Do you know the name of the manufacnturer of this lift? I got one used and it doesn't have any markings on it

I believe that is the lift that Princess Auto sells. Pretty much the same as the HF Lift.

I believe that is exactly what he did.

Here is one I built

 

[Not Bob]

Old K&L I picked up from work for 250.00. Funky clamp, very heavy, and lot's of moving parts.

Beautiful bike!

Thanks

hf special

I love my HF special (had it over 10 years). Also nice chrome head, almost bought one over my R1100R but the wife had some say in how big the passenger seat was going to be.

 

[sbarshie]

Here's mine, it's a retrofit U-Haul truck ramp that mounts to my two post car lift. Works great!

 

[Oldbear]

Sure beats sitting on the floor. Just a Princess Auto deluxe - I used the air pump twice - the foot is quicker.

I added rubber footed pegs at the back and a "dock bumper" at the front. Loading a light bike is easy - loading the Wing with me on it caused the front to lift and the whole thing to slide across the shop - then when I got the front tier into the lock - the front end wanted to dip. Not fun with a 700lbs bike. Grip tape up the middle of the ramp as the back tire has spun on its way up... added extra tie-downs and a better wheel chock.

Next mod is a set of extensions for my feet when I load the bike.

Here's mine.

 

[Coopduc]

Mine's nothing fancy, just the standard issue HF model.

 

[raskal]

for any Canadians wanting a lift, Princess Auto has 2 highlighted

a snowmobile lift for $170

and a real MC lift for $400

 

[smokem2020]

All these nice bikes and no Z1s

 

[Jack Olsen]

I don't ride, but my automotive lift is closer to the ones made for bikes.

 

[sunsation288]

That add on for the two post is pretty slick. Did not even think of that.

 

[yhprum]

Sunstation, did you make that inground lift from a hydraulic cylinder?

 

[sunsation288]

Sunstation, did you make that inground lift from a hydraulic cylinder?

Yes , and it working very well

 

[jlmotox]

I'm jealous!! Nice!!

 

[Slickster76]

Not the greatest pic of the lift, but you can see it's one from HF.

 

[ChrisE]

Nothing fancy, a DirectLift and a scissor jack

Jack, What is the length of the blades for your Band Saw? I just picked one up on craigslist for 25 bucks. Needs guides, Upper guide holder and blades?

 

[Jack Olsen]

I think it's a 62" blade. I'll try and double-check.

 

[HTGTS350]

Mine, chinese cheapo but very handy and in constant use, it came without the front swivel castors so I had to make my own.

Is that a 3 wheel craftsman band saw? I'm using Haltbar band saw blades. It wouldn't be hard to find the length they custom make blades. It's an old saw, probably hard to find parts. Check with ereplacementparts or sears for parts.

 

[yhprum]

Thanks Sunstation. I am interested in doing something similar. Do you have any other details, what are you using to pump it up?

Nevermind, found it all in your garage build. Nice job BTW!

 

[PrecisionTools]

The Handy lifts can be bought in electric or pneumatic...pros and cons from owners?

Great thread...

 

[twannabe]

Has anyone seen a coupon for the HF lifts lately? my latest motorcycle classics doesn't include one?
