That is a really nice brand of lift.  I have really enjoyed my Harbor Freight model.  I use the heck out of it, but sometimes I wish mine was power lift like yours instead of just pump hydraulic.  Unless I can power it by 15 year old son.   :-D

I have been looking at a lift for a while now. I like how it appears you swept everything to the side when you got the lift home.
How much weight can that one hold?

That lift is awesome.
I won't say anything about that stuff all over the floor  :evil:

No comments from the peanut gallery on the pile my wife still has to put away....

It is rated to 1000lbs.  But as anything proudly made in America..  It does more with ease. Tested that already....

I already don't know how I lived without this thing

Now if you got rid of the front clamp and put a Baxley Wheel Chock on it, it would be near perfect!  :-D
I agree with the statement though, I finally got a lift and felt silly for waiting so long.  8-)

Googling Baxley Wheel Chock  now

That wheel chock is very limiting.....  Can't swap from pw50 to kx500 to 17" sport bike wheels to 19" Norton wheels to my wife's bicycle that's in it currently

Prepping three wife's bike for her ride...  On the 6th (5 days) she fly's into Canada and rides her bike home all the easy down the west coast.

I have four of the 'Sport' chocks. Two positions on the adjustment. I have had everything from 15" to 21" in them including the 17" kx5 backwards. Have to latch it but it works good.

120/70-17
110/80-19

Hmm I may have to try that then..  I watched a video on how it worked with the fingers and figured it wouldn't work on smaller tires... That it wouldn't grab.

Pay for shipping and I will send you one to try.  :-D They do make a couple different models (I heard) so  there may be a different size that might work better. The smallest tire I have listed will allow the bike (in it now...) to rock a bit but I still don't use straps with it and doubt it would fall over unless I pushed quite hard. Really sold on them. Picked up all of mine used and got a smokin' deal on two of them. They show up occasionally here.
