wetfeet Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 hi just wondering if you can help? i am looking for a bike lift for my dad hes getting on a bit(73) and is finding it hard to bend and work on his bikes it needs to be strong enough to lift his 1949 triumph trophy but small enough to hide away, his shed/workshop is not that big. he also has other bikes bantams,cz,s ect so it needs to be versatile and be able to get high enough for him not to bend too far down my mam is sick of trying to help and lift things onto boxes shes 69 thanks again for your time hope to hear from you soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wetfeet Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 cheers jetset passed on the info on to the old fella it looks just the ticket but very scary with a big lump of a triumph trophy up in the air but the bantams and cz will be fine thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin j Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 May not help if you are in UK, but I have one of these tables. I think I paid $USD900 about 6 years back. Awesome, rugged, nice worktable to hold tools, etc. My dad has it, elderly, intent was to get him out in the garage more with his past projects. http://www.handyindustries.com/ I also have a crankup one made from a patient transfer lift discarded by a hospital. That's what I use mostly. I can PM you a pic but don't know how to post it. kcj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybaines Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 My old man has one of THESE it`s spot on for him ( he owns two BMW`s so not light bikes!) plus it has points too which you can strap the bike down too, say if you need too counter balance it with the back end out or the like?

daggs888 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Agree with Nigel, these are a must have if you are serious about working on and maintaining your bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I suppose in the scale of things they are not that expensive, I will buy one soon but it is always the way that I buy something then the day after see one for sale at half the price. I think they call it sods law Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
