    Probably can't find a site for them because it's just a product name
    for the company that is selling it in your link..

    If I didn't have the wife's trike I would have a Harbor Freight lift instead of the big one I have.

    Yea old Chuck has one of the Harbor freight air/ hydraulic tables that I had that twisted with my 08 EG and my bike nearly flipped off and hit the floor,
    Took 3 of us to get my EG off of it.
    If I hadn't of jumped on the HF table it would of flipped.
    If I had of been on the right hand side of the table. The bike and table would of been on top of me..

    Yea go ahead and but a cheap HF table.
    Yer right cowboy..:gah:

    well if you had empty out the one saddle bag of all the
    redneck bud cans it wouldn't have leaned to one side...

    If I was gonna buy one I'd buy a Handy Lift table...

    I bought the TCML a few years back and it has served me well; no issues at all. I would not buy side table extensions; they get in the way and require reaching over, etc. to get to some places which I consider a PITA but each to his own. A little more expensive than the Black Widow but, not knowing anything about the Black Widow lift; can't comment on any differences in quality or function.

    I droppe mine into the garage floor slab so it would be out of the way when not in use. Two bikes and a lift don't allow enough room for the wife to get her car in the garage if she decides she needs to park inside. Dropping the lift into the floor solved that problem and erased a few of the "demerits" I have collected over the past few years. Not that she keeps track or anything like that.:roflmao:

    That's a good idea. When I was younger worked for a company called Clayton and we installed in the ground Dyno's the same way. I have to have the side extensions for the wife's trike. Have thought about doing the same by cutting out the concrete floor.

    Here is the one I have . Its pretty beefy but works very well and man is it heavy, loads of fun getting it into my shop by myself. It's not the kind you just slide around either, to heavy. Check out the first video of it.
