My back is killin' me and the winter servicing/modding has just began. Does anyone have any experience with the Bike-Tech Lift or the Sealey 390? Both seem perfect for a home workshop without costing an arm and a leg.
Cheers.

Dunno anything about either of them but can tell you that bike ramps do save a lot of back ache:)Khaotik wrote:My back is killin' me and the winter servicing/modding has just began.

I'd go for a hydraulic bench type instead of a lift ...any bike will fit onto a bench type ...but the lift ones are for Harley/cruiser type bikes with flat sumps or nothing underneath...the lift rests on the two frame downtubes.
I've had a bench one for years and it's one of the best things i've bought! ..everything is so much easier.
I chose the ramp that operated with a normal two ton trolley jack instead of the built in ram...I knew if the seals went on the ram it was a complete stripdown/new ram seals/oil etc etc ....but with the trolley jack type I could just pop down to my local Halfords and buy a new trolley jack for £20 complete with spare seals.
Anyway only my opinion.
