Hi All
I checked out Rustys lift and it is similar to the trade me ones but has a bigger platform 2200 long where the trade me ones are only 1800 long. Rustys one also has a completely flat table where the cheaper ones have a tapered off rear section.
I have found these for sale with Sulco Tools for about $1250. The air operated Handy lifts that seem to be the Rolls Royce of lifts are about $3500 !!!!!!! I know they are not cheap but my knees are getting buggered!!!!!

These look good but not sure how I would get my FJ1200 up there safely !!!

Happened to be in the right place at the right time and scored a slightly used handy lift for $800.00 and you are right they are the best ,look at wellington mc's they have had them for 15 years or more and no problems at all.Once you get a decent lift you will wonder how you did without one.

pretty sure this is the model you're looking at, as you can see very limited

I wonder what length wheelbase it would take.

Yep like you said pretty limited use..... I guess you could make a bigger top area but may as well get the right tool for the job.
I looked at Rustys one last week and found the same one at quality tools in Palmy.
It is the same dimensions as yours with a removable panel to drop the rear wheel out off.
Think I will save my pennies and buy one of these later in the year

I went for the fixed table option. So you have to use a ramp to wheel the bike up & plonk it on a stand, no biggie.
As I'm pretty lazy & short on time I was very lucky to pick a well made wooden bench with a galv covering up off a particularly good egg who was upgrading to a flash lifty one. (Thanks again Spyda).
I modded it a touch with a ramp bolt so the ramp slots in when you want it to (tuck it away when in use), a couple of eyelets so I can strap the rear downward (or upward to the roof).
I also got a big 5"x5" bit of wood & attached it to the front & bolted some scrap lengths of 3"x3" angle iron to make a front tyre channel. I tiedown the tyre into this & it holds everything very steady without giving the tyre a particularly hard time.
I'm so happy with the set up I can't see the point in upgrading, unless I was regularly changing bikes around on it.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Hey Bananas seem to be the answer to all my medical issues and vicescertainly giving it a work out.

The incredible, versatile banana is the most perfect fruit for man. Why? because it is every known vitamin, mineral, enzyme, etc. in the proper proportion and combination.
* * *
Each animal on earth has their most balanced type of food to eat, and that, in nature, they do eat solely...and they don't have the health problems we do (unless they are domesticated). Now what does that tell you? That we are what we eat...no doubt! And that if we were to subscribe to our natural diet, we would not have the health issues we have today.
Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!
This is interesting. After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber.
A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work: Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking & Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.
So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit.
