Bike lift

Post by Tharrell »

Harbor Freight lowered the price of this lift to $359.99, down by $40.
They also had this parts washer on sale for $89.99, from $139.99

I dont think I could live without my bike lift anymore.
Worth every penny!
Sometimes I throw 2 CR's on mine -
one on each end, on their own stands, wheels in the air.

So much easier than bending!
Yah, I'm from Saskatchetoon!

I had been debating it for a while. Then, last weekend I put new rimlocks and a new tube on the back of my 500.
That was all I needed to pull the trigger.
I actually wanted the $499 model because it has a better front wheel lock, can put extensions on the sides and it will lift 200 lbs more but I was impatient.
I like the Handy models but this one is just fine, especially for the money. I hadn't put the rear ramp on it yet but, in the picture but you can see it on the left side of the pic leaning against my grill.

I have had that parts washer for about five years now (haven't used it in about four) it works good but the paint lifted on the inside of the tub with just a couple of uses, so I am going to strip it completely down and use some truckbed liner on it. Mine is red and blue though and the blue paint is what lifted so maybe you won't have that problem.

With all the lawn equipment I have, I have been meaning to get a parts washer for a long time. Since I've got all these bikes now, I had to get one.
It's nice when a tax deduction has a dual purpose!

I use the ramp on mine, but didnt put the cotter pins in to keep it attached. Once I get the bike up, I just lift the ramp off so its easier to get to the rear tire. :cool:

Yeah, that's the way to do it. That ramp is in the way otherwise.
This thing is just great! I really don't know how I got by with out.
Of course, I had to get a couple of comfy shop stools!
