Similar to the Clarke lift which is a bit more expensive, but you get the more substantial front wheel clamp (still not great though) Also you get a longer ramp and the option of air operation. I paid about £580 for mine with the air option, this was via Machine Mart during a sale.
Great upload, I have a Clarke ramp coming in 2 weeks and can't wait to get on the spanners again. I looked at others but I need the length for my biggest vike. It is essential as I can't work on the floor any more due to arthritis.
@@johnwarner4513 thanks for the warm welcome John, at first I thought it might be the deep heat kicking in 😂 I'm happy with the Clarke table lift and think it was a good choice for the money. The downside is that it takes up quite a bit of space in my single garage and I have to move the other bikes out to work and move around the bench, which won't be ideal in the winter. If you have one, or two bikes, and are well organized it would be fine. I needed the length of the Clarke bench for my fj1200, many others come up too short for my needs. The ABBA Skylift looks a good option but a bit of a faff in comparison, plus you would need an additional bench and somewhere to put tools while working. I need to move to a place with a double garage 😂
@@michaelmclarney1994 Thanks for the detailed reply, owner feedback is always the best, when I had Harleys,( I had a holiday from bikes and sold everything) I had a Clarke lift, but there was less choice back then, so today its still work in progress. I cant change the oil etc without a lift so I'll be buying one soon, its just which one, but I'll look again at what you have. Cheers mate( sorry, what model do you have?)
@@johnwarner4513 you're welcome for the reply and hope it helps in your decision making. What bike do you have now? If you live anywhere near redditch in Worcestershire you are welcome to see my bench. My other advice would be to measure the floor area of your garage and do a scale drawing of the bench in the area to see what space you have available. My bench is the cml3 I think, with a 2.2m long table. Also, if you sign up to machine mart email promotions, they have started doing vat free weekend offers again but o let via email invitation rather than a blanket offer for everyone. It makes for a good saving on expensive items. If you go for the same bench, it just fitted in my brother's VW Transporter and is 150kg packed weight so 3 to 4 blokes to lift it. Delivery is expensive but free to your nearest store.
@@michaelmclarney1994Again, many thanks Michael, I have a Triumph Street Twin. I would take you up on your offer but I'm currently living in Shropshire, near Oswestry, so thats a bit of a stretch for me atm( I'm not the only at home with crap joints). The CML3 (or equivalent then) was what I had. Its a bit pricey for me now, as a sponging pensioner, but hey, why not. Don't spoil the ship.....and all that. I need to look at your recommendations and check out, the now, restricted floor area. I'll get back to you on that. Take care mucka👍
Congratulation for your new gadget. It looks useful and hopefully going to make bike fixing easier for you. Can not fix up the front clamps like you did with the back ramp? Thanks for the video.
Since I recorded this video I decided to buy the clamp upgrade, it is on now however not much more secure. It is what it is. I do love the lift though because it is a very big help
Good review mate just what I needed to know, thanks

Good investment as since you uploaded this video, the price on these have sky-rocketed.
😁really?...I didn't look to be honest. If you consider the sky high inflation and the time passed since, it is probably understandable.
Will make life alot easier mate I bought 1 of these ages ago, you have faster feet than Ronaldo ")))
😂Pmsl... Yes very useful... Love it
