lift table

[Frang]

I'm thnking of buying the Titan 1500 lb lift table.Anyone have any experiance with one?

I have a 1000lb Harbor Frieght motorcycle lift table... I LOVE it.. I got damn tired of working on the floor..I should have gotten on a LONG time ago..

My buddy who works on VWs has a bigger lift table for the cars.. I works excellent as well..

You wont be sorry..

Does your Harbor Frieght table work for your trike?

Thanx

[trikertroy]

Yes... My trike weighs 812lb.. so no problems..

It lifts the Harley trike too..

I'd be nervous lifting a 1,200 lb triglide with a table rated for 1,000. I know I've had the Handy BOB 1,500 lb rated table my dad has rocking a time or two while working on a trike, I think a lighter table would have flipped or bent.

I'd be a little nervous lifting my trike with 1000lb rated lift.The Titan is rated at 1500lbs so that should work ok.I was just wondering if anyone has one and if they have had any problems with it.

[trikertroy]

1200lbs??? WOW.. thats a LOT. I dont know how much my Harley weighs, but I had it on the lift with no problems lifting... (way easy)

I did not use any side pads for the wheels and lifted it by the bottom of the frame and tow hitch.. I had to stablize the rear so it would not tip.

I doubt that my Harley trike doesnt weigh near that much.. (pic included) It isnt a land barge or anything like that.

I have a buddy who does motorcycle repairs--maintenence. he has three of the harbor freight lifts in his shop and has had my VTX trike on them a few times with no issues

Guess u never have a problem until u have one.I know dropping a $32,000 machine on the floor would kinda ruin my whole day.Guess i'll go with the Titan lift.

I recently bought a MC1300 lift table from North American Auto. There are several other companies that sell the same lift. It is made by Kernel. 1320lbs capacity, it lifts my TG with no problem and is very stable. Just make sure your compressor has enough a$$ to push it.

Going with the Titan.Dealer is a little over an hour away so no shipping.Gonna get it tomorrow.Thanks for all the replies guys.Ride safe

I don't think a 48 inch wide table will work.kinda narrow as the tri glide is 52 inches wide.

[M.A.T.]

WOW! Sorry, I'm not at home I'm at work and had no way to measure. So it's 52" from outside of wheel to outside of wheel huh? Damn!

Never mind. Guess the additional money for the titan is worth it then. Wish I lived closer to them. Shipping on that other model was $207.12 and I would still have to drive to the freight hold and pick it up.

I got the Titan lift. is the most bang for the buck to use on a trike I could find. It lifts well and is stabile.
Probably should get the small scissor jack they sell as well.I didn't then ordered it later. Nothing else works to lift just one area of the trike while it's on the lift nearly as well.
I had to add two small removable wooden ramp extensions to the existing ones that the rear tires roll on .This makes it easier to ride on and off without bumping the belt protector on the trike.
It probably wouldn't hurt anything I just feel better. Oh yeah the lift is heavy as hell but that's the only downside so far.

I normally don't post links to other forums but felt this is an important safety lesson, both the safety of the individual and the safety of their wallet. This is what happened to a gentleman who used a 1,000 lb rated lift to lift his Trike.

Warning about Lifts - Harley Davidson Forums

There is a big difference in table thickness, stability and lifting capacity between a 1,000 lb rated lift and a 1,500 lb rated lift. I've worked off of both capacity lifts so I've had the luxury of seeing the difference 1st hand.

Your probably in the 900 - 1000 lb range. If you want to know the weight you could drop by a place that has a truck scale and see if they would let you pull onto it.

Do you have the lift kit from Dennis on your trike?I have em on mine and wondering if that will give me the clearence for the belt protector.Yup it's heavy but with the rollers i can move it around the garage pretty easy.Those rear poles come in handy for that.

[Frang]

Put the trike on the table yesterday and found that with the lift kit the belt protector clears it.

[WalterM817]

I don't have the lift kit but I just can't say if that matters. I just rode onto the lift and felt something hang up. After I checked it out I could see the belt cover had rubbed. It's a nice lift for sure. You"ll love not crawling around on the floor. You can polish or clean the trike from a chair or just stand there. I was so glad to get up off the ground! I had 2 other jack style lifts but this is the better way to go.
