I bought this one 3 years ago, still working well:

It's wide enough for a Series 1/2 Lambretta. If that's important to you, check whichever bench you buy is wide enough - regular-size benches are too narrow for a Lambretta's stand.

I took the front wheel holders off mine, they just get in the way, left the end stop on though!

Yes, you don't want a hundred-odd kilos of scooter rolling forward when you're changing the rear wheel!

I forgot once to remove the loading ramp. My knees certainly noticed it when I whacked them on it when moving round to the work on the other side :(

Stateside these are imported by Harbor Freight and probably others. Often their sale coupons or their single item discount coupons bring the price closer to $300.

No doubt some British tool importers have the equivalent in their lineups.

same here £299 delivered. for the money it's not worth messing about trying to make/adapt one I went for the 1000lb one as it's slightly bigger/lifts higher....couldn't cope without it now !
