    O.K. i will say it, I'm scared.
    My floor ain't real level downstairs.
    When I had been raisin the lowering the Harbor freight lift it would lean real bad.

    CaptVic got one of these like 2 yrs ago.

    I talked with the OL and she is gonna help me git one.

    So I ordered me a TCML bike lift table, it comes with a service jack.

    This is a 1500 lb lift.
    I will probaly order the side extensions in about 6 months to make it a TCMLW model

    Nice table. I've thought about a lift table. I have a dirt floor in my "gargage". I might pour a concrete slab in the spring. It would be nice to have a smooth level hard place to work.

    I'm with you CB, I hate working on the ground and sense my recent accident fallen from a roof by back is not working so good sense then. Soon as I get the El Camino sold I'm going to get a lift table with the side extensions. It's got to be wide enough to get the wifes HD trike on it to.

    IF you want to save a little more Handy Lifts are pretty much the standard in all bike shops, $599 at this site but I've seen them for a little less sometimes...

    Tandy is in HD shops if I remember right.

    They are good lifts and they got a place people in Texas can pick them up in San Antonio.

    I just wanted the TCML that come with the service jack.

    Got a buddy with one and he really likes it.
    It is a 1500 lb lift. And the folks from Complete Hydraulics makes car lifts and everything.

    Think the extra Hundred and so many dollars .

    Thanks for the info HotRoadKing, but I've already ordered it this afternoon and I'm having it delivered close to the house.

    Let me git a few things together, and I will put the other parts of the Harbor freight lift on my trailer and pull it down and leave it.

    Got to see how long I have to work in the sun tomorrow.
    It pretty well beat me up today and I was on the Iphone making arrangements as you know to git the TCML ordered.
    Tomorrow is another day.

    CB,

    thanks for posting that I have been looking for a lift for a while that I would like. After taking a peek at that, I think you bought yourself a good lift, and for a GREAT price.

    Cheap price sounds like China, Handy lifts are a little more, made in the USA and built heavier.
