Ordered my lift today

Well I have finally done it and ordered a lift table today. I needed one that would lift over 1,000 Lbs and fit the rear wheels of the wifes trike. The one Cardboard got the width with the side extensions is 48 inches. Her trike rear wheel width is 51 inches. Would have fit with the wheels hanging a couple inches over each side. The one we bought is 53 inches wide. Has some nice features to it. Cost a few hundred more than Cardboards price is 1165.00 delivered at the local dock. They would never be able to back up our driveway, way to steep.
I wanted a Handy but guess what, I talked to two places today and Handy went out of business last February. Word is they may be coming back under different ownership.

Here is the lift table Ranger Model RML-750HD Motorcycle Lift

Got a confirmation call saying its shipping tomorrow, cool first bike on it is the wifes trike for an oil change.

great........get some pics of it in action!!!!!!!!!!

your gonna love it. chrome has the exact same one.....she has a couple of extras tho. sumbitch is HEAVY!!!!! and will lift a car!!! you are gonna enjoy it!!!!! uses a lot of room also.

I gotta go pick it up in my open trailer and wondering how in the heck am I gonna get it out. I've got a overhead electric hoist inside the shop, maybe that will help. Might have to call for some help.

when she got hers......used twice by previous owner.....it took 4 of us i think to get it off the trailer......your crane should handle it. i would leave it on your trailer and assemble out of the box into the shop in pieces. everything about the lift is firstclass and heavy duty. the side ramps almost need two folks to install.......

Dammm, well I got a strong wife Should lift her trike with no problem then.

man that look's like a good one

I got a spot all set for it in the shop and once there its ain't gonna move. Would have got one more like Cardboard if it we not for the wifes trike. This one the trike wheels will not overhang.

So do you have to remove the side panels when you do
your bike?

Seems like the reach would be huge, you'd need Shaq's arms...

NIce looking lift reminds me tonight is oil change night.

canola, p-nut, vegetable........

Anything will beat laying on the ground when your working on it, especially the trike.

No doubt that, just wondered if
it takes two people to remove the side panel extensions and it will
hold up the trike, how far will you have to reach over to
work on the bike, how wide is each panel?

Each side wing is 11 inches total width with the extensions is 53 inches. here are the specs.

Here is a good website for it and you can click on each component for a bigger view.

yeah beefy

I have the Kendon lift, narrow, light
it works well, takes up no space (stand up lift)

They have side panel extensions I'd like to have
plus some other goodies...

i have worked with chromes.......and the side extensions were on. not a bad reach if your sitting on a stool or chair. i kinda liked it....lots of room to lose tools and such!!!!!! lol lol

But I got to lift a Trike.

Glad to know it works. What's the deal with the choke?

Putting on some paint with anti slip agents would be good,
maybe even cover the center where you put the bike with
a rougher surface for traction would be a good idea..
