Guess I was a bit late to this thread. I'll still check out a price for anyone who may be interested. If anyone sees anything on the Sulco site and would like a price just let me know and I will see what I can supply it for.

Cool I'll get a price for all of these and hopefully be able to get back with it tomorrow. I do have some pricing on Knipex pliers and some stuff so I'll post that list later today.

Sulco can't give me a general percentage as with such a large range of products there is quite a variation in margins and I need to ask per item. But anything they have I can get from jeweller sets to four post hoists.

I've got this listing initially, see what you think. The tools are recognised quality, not cheap stuff.

Your price is in red and includes GST.

Check model No. against pic. (Scroll down for pic)

Hey Renegade Master. Use Ply! MDF(Medium Density Fibre Board=Customwood) or Particle board will break long before ply will.
Remember to put in a good number of cross braces for extra strength.
I converted an old hydraulic hospital bed, put a ply top on it with 3"X2" sides and cross braces, it had already been modified with lowered wheels into frame for lower overall at rest height, now I can wheel/ride up my home made ramps onto my table and then pump up that baby to about 3" 1/2 feet.Then if needs be I can unlock the wheels and move/spin it around the garage.

Real old thread, but, has anyone tried the Machinery House Motorcycle Lifter Table?

A stuffed back and buggered knees means I need to think about a lifter table if I'm going to keep building bikes.

Cheers

I have had the Hare and Forbes table for a couple of years at least (Her indoors got it for me one Christmas)
The foot activated pump works fine, they can bounce a little if you try to raise it to fast, nothing bad though and the time to full height is reasonable.
They can creep (in my experience) so the locking pin and cross bar need to be used.
The front wheel clamp works OK ( I got one of the scissor type lifters that go under the engine or frame rails also)
I still rate it after this time period.
It seems anything beyond this lifter costs a small fortune.

I bought a 1500-lb-capable motorcycle lift table from Redline Lifts, when I was in the USA on assignment a few months ago. It's already lifted 450lb and 1300lb of V2 and V8 motorcycle respectively.

I have no connection or interest with them other than being a satisfied customer. Took a few months to get it shipped through to New Zealand, but it is excellent and for my money, literally as well as figuratively, worth the wait.

The one I bought is now discontinued, but they have a lot of other excellent equipment there.

If anyone wants a price of anything SULCO sells I can get you a lower price for it. I used to work for them and am still a reseller.

I can do one for 800 through my sources. Different model which is only 400kg, but, fuck goldwing owners.
