Hydraulic lifts

Its been asked before but is this the one to go for? £280 delivered seems about the going rate.

Annoyingly they do a cheaper one but its 53cm wide and a Lambretta stand is 54cm wide!

S2 stand is 59cm wide.
Any wider benches??

This Machine Mart one is 68.5cm wide. But it's £350 even if you manage to get it VAT free. Full price its £418

Ive got one that looks like the first picture. It isnt wide enough for a lambretta stand, so I welded two steel plates on the side where the stand sits, couple of L brackets welded under the plates to strengthen, job done.
Apart from saving money, I find it easier to work on my scooter without having a wider area to reach over.

You could also screw plates in place if you dont have welding gear.

These are brilliant

Or stick a piece of wood across.

Quite a difference.
I have found that with scooters on the stand I still like to slide them along the bench to do different jobs, if I have the front wheel clamped and then want to turn the steering, I slide it down towards the end of the bench whilst the stand is down.
If the ramp is narrow with extenstions on the side, this would limit what you can do.
If you reverse the scooter up on the ramp, the extentions will be in the wrong place, and reversed on is good for dropping the forks through the removeable section in the bed.

I have just found this one on Ebay:

Table size 220cm long by 68cm wide, plus the ramp on the end.
Price seems good as well, that way it will cover all models with the stand down..

Cheers jazzy,
That looks just like the one I linked above, and a more modern version of my one at work.

I have just ordered through Ebay at £299.99 so not that much more.
