Can any one share there opinion on which table will be the best? Diamond plate or smooth??? It will be air powered. Any other thoughts. Thanks

I would go smooth. Easier to clean up and easier on your elbows and other parts that may come in contact with it.

Smooth! I have handy lift tables at work and they are great. A co worker bought a knockoff version that is diamond plate and its a PIA to work with compared to the smooth. Mainly on your body if you need to lean over or kneel on to pull a wheel off or an engine. kneeling on the diamond pattern can catch you in a way that hurts like kneeling on a small nut.. if you catch it just right, or wrong depending on how you look at it.

Cruiser, What manufacturer? Do these things get bolted down or are they on wheels? I'll try google.

This is what we have at work but has the extended sides as we work on larger equipment. They now make very specific MC tables,, nice but $$..

[Cruiser]

The round holes on the sides is where the extension bars go that the sides go on. This would make it wide enough to put a lawn tractor on etc..

They have some interesting designs,,

If you want a small/skinny one check for this one on amazon, or just search google for motorcycle air lift images.


My coworker gor one like this from gregsmith in delaware, china made and semi ok but almost as expensive as the good ones.. (usa made ones that is-they weight twice as much, thicker steel)


The skinny one is like what I'm building,, I use a rolling lift cart that is very HD, got it off CL for $60 and it only needed minor repair. I'm using it as a lift and when I need to move the bike out of the way I can move the lift and bike into the corner..
Its kinda like this one,, I just roll it under the skid plate and throw a strap over the seat just to keep it from falling off..

Thanks Cruiser, Is the wheel clamp necessary? I've been looking @ the sport model. The small screw lift is mandatory. Any other advice before I pull the trigger? Say are you in Ryan township??? You must know the Rehatchek family?
Great bunch of guy's. Last Oct. was my first ride on my new 250e in the wallow in the hallow.
