- G'day guys, I finally bought a Motorcycle Lift Table! I'm really impressed with this one that I got from Trade Hero Australia. They actually have 2 versions of this Motorcycle Lift Table, one is just Hydraulic and the one which I got is Hydraulic and Air operated. Anyway here is my first review of it including step by step setup and operation of the Air & Hydraulic Motorcycle Lift Table. Hope you enjoy :-) Cheers... Mark

I just bought one here in Cape Town for 900aud delivered. Sold under the name AEI. Will set it up tomorrow and put my DR on it and then my heavier BMW k75. Happy to finally work at a respectable height.
Nice! Love the pneumo version. I have a simple hydraulic version. I find that pumping the treadle to get it to max height and drinking a beer take exactly the same amount of time, so THAT'S convenient...
Thank you so much! The way you explore and wonder with your projects is very informative and helpful to us common folks.
My Pleasure! 👍
Hi Mark, ive had one for a few years.
Best ever thing i have bought. Makes life easy working on bikes. Never had any problems with it so far. Gets a workout at my place because ive got 14 bikes.
Great to know... thanks! 👍
Congrats on the purchase! Great addition to your already nice garage. Have a great weekend to you both. *T4S*
Hey Mark, I posted to the membership forum a photo of a solution to stop the with table from sliding around. It worked very well for me. I use the one 7/8 inch rubber table leg cap. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Rob, I'll check it out 👍
glad you bought one mate, when you were planning on using the roof and cranes etc, I was yelling at the screen 'just buy a lift!' you can easily weld an extension to the table for the side stand . Best thing I ever bought, it saves back ache and you find problems so much quicker too.
Cool Bananas! 👍
Thanks, Mark. Great video, and I can see where I’d really like that kind of platform to ease the strain on my back while I work on the bike.
Man, I have been toying with getting a table lift for years. I have one of those trolley lifts, which has been working good for me, but I'm not getting any younger. Will be watching to see how you like it as time goes on
Just picked one up today - thanks for the informative video will really help in getting it set up
Very nice 👍 looking forward to further reviews.
I use a small platform scissor jack under the frame (skid plate) to lift the back wheel once the bike is strapped down... Makes it way easier to service the back wheel and the bike is way more stable. Be careful to forget the kickstand while backing up the bike... you will learn why if you do.. LOL. I also have the compressor version but i always use the foot pedal... I find that getting the compressor and hose connected takes just longer than using the push pedal. Love the KTM color! Makes it look more expensive!
Congratulation on a new lift, its a game changer mate. Bought one years ago from a friend that had two,and it makes wrenching so mutch better.
Turned in to a horror movie for a minute with that tyre spider there. 😄😄. It may be harmless for what i know. In my country thats a big one.. 🇳🇴☕
Thanks 👍
Great video Mate, you make all your Vids so easy to understand and relate to. Keep up the great work.👍
Thanks heaps Mal! 😃👍
Hi there from the uk...iv just bing watcheg all yr vlogs...and can i say wot a top bloke you are...and you have inspired me to get back on a bike...got a new one coming this week....keep up the good work....
Good Onya Ian! 👍
Looks good,an upgrade for my garage next year hopefully!
Fingers crossed for ya! 🤞
Great addition Mark! I think you will be asking yourself why you did not do that years ago, It will make things easier for filming as well when your doing mods that you want to share with the crew. Again great addition to the bike garage, time to get cracking on the Charlie and the KLR! 😁
This reminds me of my old boss who's run trucks for over 30 years, changing tyres on the shed floor on a sheet of cardboard... he bought a tyre machine in the last 6years, and within a few tyre changes, I heard him say "I don't know why I didn't do this 30 years ago"
Hey Mark, nice addition to the garage ! I'm considering an Abba Sky Lift as they lift the bike by the frame so both wheels are free to work on !
Oh cool... they are certainly interesting looking things! 👍
That's cool will be a great help with working on your bikes great video as usual .
Thanks 👍
bloody brilliant mate 👍🏻👍🏻
much better than swinging a bike from the rafters. I am sure you can upgrade/mod the wheel chuck to fit your needs. Good buy!
Nice, I used an old hospital bed with yellow tongue on top so I can use it as a work bench as well as a motorbike lift and once to remove and install the gearbox on my 4x4.
G,day Mark, definitely look like money well spent, going to a great assets in the work shed, for you mate , cheers
Yeah I think it's gunna pay for itself in the long run! 😃👍
Dang Man, I’m starting to feel jealous. That work shop garage is truly sweat. 👍🏼
Thanks Man! 👍
Coasters? Lol. Great addition to the garage Mark. I'll get one once I have a garage again, instead the car stacker at my current place. ;)
Yeah I'm great with words! 🤣
Great Video Mate.
thanks for the review
Needs a washer under the bolt head where bolt goes through the slotted holes on the front wheel stop...the orange plate, always need a washer where a slotted hole is.

Looks great, you could bend the handle for the wheel clamp to be able to move it further in more if needed, I guess.
Hey mark, just a thought about the front wheel holder.. Maybe one of those roll-in front wheel chocks bolted in place would be a better option.....
Those wheel clamps are rubbish. Yes the roll-on stands are far better. I have one on my lift, bolted down permanently. Roll in place and let go. Works for postie bike through to big sport-tourer. See 40 seconds into this vid czcams.com/video/ftHqrZ8hlpA/video.html
Really nice lift Mark ! Nay is right ,it would look great with a KTM on it.
I think you should be taking the ramp off before ya raise it.
But that’s a great looking lift well done. Finally.
I have a socket welded on my wheel clamp so I can use rattle gun or ratchet to close the wheel clamp.
I also use my atv lift (same as what you used at start of video) to lift the bike on the lift to take off the back wheel. Anyway. Congrats on your new lift. Life will be easier now working on bikes.
Great idea! Thanks 👍
Great short vid. envy the new toy i want one
Thanks Doug! 😃
Great post Mark.
You said your not a mechanic...You go alright !!👍
LOL... Thanks Greg 👍
@@BikerBits l just bought a brand new DR650 from VSM.. Cant wait to go and explore! Love your show mate👌
Great stuff mate! 👍👍
I have a locking front wheel chock that works simply and sturdy....one hand operation too...still used tiedowns to be safe ...lol. that front wheel system needs some upgrades and extra stiffening...it could bend or break off easily....
Looking good Mark, congratulations. Four tie-down points are a standard safety feature for 200+kg bikes on lifts, I'd encourage you to use four straps to tie the bike down - the risks of significant damage to you and the bike if it comes off the lift at it's full height aren't worth the risks of relying on 2 straps. Ride safe mate.
Cool, thanks
The straps saved me already ones, as my lift isn't straight for some reason. I had my Honda Shadow strapped down to it when the lift was trying to push it over. Thanks too the straps and side stands off the lift I didn't get my bike thrown into my lap. So be careful with the lift at all times.
One thing no one mentions , is just how heavy this is, it took 4 people with trolleys to move mine from outside the front gate , where the courier dropped it, to the start of the concrete slab, about 8M. saying that ,it works a treat, current have the ride on mower on it with board for the extra width.....saving my back...
Hi mate I got the same one what I did is I replaced that front tire holder thing with a Harley just write on Choc that they have in the shops holding their bikes up and I still strap it down but it’s a lot easier and more secure. Should try that
My mate sold me his old one of these for $250.00 bucks, I work on all my kids bikes through to my africa twin with no issues. I added extra tie down points and bought a jack for it as well for when I'm doing rear wheels. Must have if you have the room.
Great addition to the man cave. Now I have to work on the better half so I can have one.
Good Luck mate! 👍
Bought one in NZ recently. Exactly the same lift, different brand name. Have a 17 Suzuki Vstrom 1000. Put it on the lift and tightened the chock as much as I could thinking it should hold. Went to get some straps a few feet away and turned around to the bike laying on its side with one of the front chocks completely bent. Major design flaw in my mind. Broke a mirror and windscreen extension. (About NZ$50) If you look around, the better ones use square box section for the chock. This model has a weak point in the chock where it goes from being flat along the base of the lift to angling up to the tyre with just a few welds holding it together. I'm looking at using a threaded rod to connect the two chocks together at the end point so they don't have the ability to move apart. Not sure if it will work yet. May look at adding some box section to the existing chock to make stronger. Also looking at fabricating an extension on the LHS of the lift to allow my kickstand to work as currently it is waving around in midair.
Great stuff mate!
Hey Mark, I've been umming and arring over just hydro or air over hydro.... def just getting hydro that's air operation is bit noisy for me. Congrats thats a big upgrade in ease and comfort.
Im looking at the mc30 from HAPP up here in Qld..... about 40 mins away.
Great stuff mate!👍
That was interesting. Thanks
My Pleasure! 👍
Looks awesome, might have to save some penny's and get one. Getting too old to be working on my hands and knee's..
Yeah that is why I eventully got got one! 👍
About 2 months ago I brought the same moto lift. The front plate isn't angled enough, allowing the front wheel to go too far forward. I bent the plate and bolted a block of wood to it. Stops the front wheel going too far, allowing the wheel clamp to work properly. (Clamping the bottom and front of the tyre)
Use it for my Harley's, I can get enough clamping force to where it holds the bike upright (no stand or holding it steady) and I can then put the tie downs on.
For the price, ya can't go wrong.
Great stuff mate... I'll have to do the same thing! Thanks 👍
Hi Mark, did you see the spider on the postie wheel tyre ? Great life table, mate.
No I did'nt but someone else mention something about a tyre spider! I'll have to look back at the video 🤣
Mark, I think you should strap your handlebars down to the eyes on the edge of the lift for extra security.
Yeah I did that! 👍
Our bike mechanic at work uses wing nuts on the clamp so he can adjust from a postie to a harley quickly
👍🏻awesome
Awesome mate.
That will make working on bikes sweet as.
Good price ...I thought they were worth a couple of grand or more.
I've seen the tie downs coming off of the foot pegs as well.
Does your cruiser fit on it ok ?
Oh I will have to try the footpegs! I haven't tried the cruiser yet that will be in the next MCT 👍
Mark - remember to extend the legs when you have a bike on . Its a lot of weight up high !! - Looking good though- Cheers
Will do Simon... thanks! 👍
Good review mate loved it. Would you or anyone on your page know of a good strong bike dolly for a heritage Harley. Thanks in advance guys
I want Mark's life. 😂
Question for ya, I have a similiar almost identical lift to yours in the UK, same air lift system, of which I have an issue, I had this lft on it's side in my garage, as it is not used most of the time, now when I use it, the air lift sounds like it is working, but does no lifting... the manual side lift is fine, but air lift no longer lifts it, any ideas what that might be? Oil maybe?
I no expert but my guess would be oil and or seals ?
Is that your spider?
I had one and it was great, although over time found I didn’t use it enough and it become a big annoyance for space etc etc and I buggered it off…..
be interesting over time to see if you really use/need it….
Yeah time will tell! 👍
Nice bit of kit!!! Free to use for crew members?! 😂
Yep for sure! 👍
How much longer did it take to lift with bike on top? & would the extra weight make it harder to foot pump?
Practically the same! 👍
I got one very similar $400 few years back but cheap .
Lift looks the goods Mark 👍
Question: DR 650 … “ just over 260 kg” 😕 wow or was that a typo or should I say a recordo and should of been “ just over 160 kgs” .
Enjoying your videos 👍
Yeah my stuff up... that's the weight of Harry the Crusier! 😊
BEEN LOOKING AT THESE THINGS i would like to try build one maby a third the cost there about s eh i seen em on ebay about 800 + frieght ends up a grand + doneit..
i have one the same i used a piece of wood on the angle at the front so the wheel lines up with the clamp.use a heap of air oil down the air fitting each time you use it also a cap of some kind on the air fitting to stop dirt from entering while laying on the floor.like most Chinese shit it has its poor design faults so it takes some adjustment to get it so it mostly functions
The DR is 260 Kg? My NX650 is 164 Kg so I'm very supprised. Must say I'd love one of these. Good luck with it.
Yeah I stuffed up there! My cruiser is 260kg
@@BikerBits Cheers
It doesn't look long enough for my bike? Does your cruiser fit on it?
Haven't tried it yet... will show in the next MCT! 👍
Remove the clamping Side and grease the threads on the clamp screw. That should make it a little easier to more pressure on the tire.
Thanks Phil 👍
Looks good but that front wheel clamp needs a good look at, dont look right to me.
Get a wheel chock and bolt it to the front instead of the clamp thing.....
Put your tie downs on the bike then just reach down and connect them to the front points easy as
Nice one! 👍
got an add during the video
That will save bending over or getting on your knees when working on the bike, will need a jack to lift the back or front wheel
Yeah need to get one of those little sissor ones I think!
That will definitely save your back.
That's what I'm hoping 😃🤞
Purchased one, disappointed in the quality, also make sure you chock the front with the larger bikes (i.e Harley) otherwise all you’ll do is push the lift forward when loading.
lets see a 430 kg cruiser on it.... that front wheel wouldn't work???
Max is 260kg?????????
I buggered up that is Harry! Max is 160 🤣
now have to sell the suzuki & buy a KTM to match the stand LOL
sorry looks cheap !!! love the colours that it!!! i wouldnt put a Harley on it!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For a thousand dollars 🤔, sadly couldn’t justify the expense, for the amount of times I would use it, no.
Think I will stick with the old school way, by the time you faff about getting the bike secured and up on the lift probably have half the job done anyway, my $20 stool is so much easier.
Fair enough mate! I'll find out in time if that's the case for me too! 👍
It looks rather flimsy, don"t know if I would trust it.
I wouldnt be putting my Harley up on that flimmsy thing !
Very cheap looking front wheel clamp! They should immediately take your advice and round those edges. The speed and noise of raising the lift is unacceptable!
looks cheap as fuk 🤣🤣🤣🤣
