I am having to upgrade my bike lift. I have had a Harbor Freight lift for several years and it has been sufficient for the need. Works pretty well and I just put in a new air hydraulic unit and added wings n ramps in prep for getting the trike. Unfortunately, the trike comes in at 1,000 lbs. and maxxed out the lift. It will work with my 2 wheel Drifter but it wont do anything but buck with the trike on.
In looking at various lifts, I finally settled on the A Plus Lifts, Falcon model. Its 2200# capacity and electric/hydraulics looked good. It also comes with wings to take it to 61 inches wide and is just about the right size for my shop.
Anybody ever used one?
Update: 28 Feb 24: The Falcon lift came in. I picked it up at a freight office in Joplin, MO. It came in three crates, total weight about 1500 lbs. I had to unload it by hand. No mean feat for being fat, 68 and on dialysis....But I had lots of chain, two chain hoists and got them all inside. I only had two young men to help me for about 5 minutes to get the lift itself out of its crate and in place. Although, its all quite heavy and sturdy it went together with some thought to handling it by one man, but I got it done.
I did have a qualified electrician connect the plug to run the power. It has been tested, works great and is quiet. Good purchase and its gonna save my back
