Check this Before you Buy a MC Lift Table!
Ғылым және технология
I have bought a Hamron MC lift table (article num: 011253) from Jula, a retail store you find in the Nordic countries in Europe. However, you will find similar motorcycle lift tables under other brand names in other regions.
I have wanted to buy a MC lift table for a long time, and I am very satisfied finally having bought one. Except, I am not 100% sure I did a good purchase. 🤔

I found a better way to do it this time, a bit more planning did the trick 😊 It's fun but it takes time 😋
The conversation with yourself was like watching my internal dialog lol. So well done.

Haha, when you're alone in the garage the only one to discuss with is yourself 😅
I think this was a good purchase. 1) You can easily upgrade the back wheels with ones that have bearings or better yet, add tabs to install caster wheels (larger ones on both front and back); 2) You can easily fabricate a front wheel holder that is sturdier and holds more of the wheel; and 3) I suggest cutting a piece of plywood to install on the platform. It will absorb oil and will reflect light if you paint it white. The lip is a good thing since it will contain oil spills and possibly dirt that comes loose; and 4) You could also install small (cheap) hydraulic jacks in the corners if you want to lift the whole platform up to 90cm... and you can do all this for far less money that you would spend on an expensive scissor lift! Thanks for the fun video! Your production and editing skills are really great! 👌

Thanks Dennis 😊 These are some very good tips! I have already ordered some heavy duty caster wheels online (4x200kg / double ball bearings per wheel). I think I'll just use your tips as a work list, this is just what I need!!!! 👍👍👍
17:36 I guess you wanted to say "you get more bang for the buck". Good stuff. Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful 🙏It was a fun and challenging way to make the video 😊
Great work conversing with grumpy Ki, he might be pleased to know I have exactly the same table but it's blue, so I can see bits I drop. Also the lip on the side saved me from having a lap covered in oil when I knocked a pot of it over on the table!

Hehe, he is grumpy for sure 😝 I can see the side lip can help, If spilling oil or if just dropping a nut it will keep it on the table top instead of falling to the floor 🤔
Now that you have cloned yourself, you can both get sidetracked on side projects and take twice as long to finish the bike 😂 Same as I would if there was 2 of me

I too have a very similar lift which I use for Motorbikes, lawnmowers and various other stuff. Like you I am not too pleased with the wheels and have long thought about modifying it, but that will have to wait until I see what you come up with. As always an interesting and well presented Video - Thanks!

Thanks, glad you liked it 😊 It seems like the wheels are going to be replaced, received a package containing four heavy duty caster wheels the other day - looks promising 😁
Minor and correctable annoyances. Your back and knees will thank you for this purchase. I loved my motorcycle table that was similar to that one. Before that I had one I made out of wood, way over built but it worked. You can always change and modify it to be more like you'd wish. Congratulations on the bike table and hopefully it makes working on the bike more enjoyable

very professional video as always. i have a very similar design made by Clarke in the UK...you were spot on with all the positives and negatives...but compared to when i didnt have a lift, it's all positive now.

Exactly what I think as well. I have been wrenching on motorcycles for decades, and never used a lift table. I am pretty sure I'll be very satisfied this weekend when I continue to work on my motorcycle 🤩🤩🤩

I suspect there's one factory in China making them all. I have exactly the same lift table as Ki, except mine is light blue - Grumpy Ki would approve of that.

I have very similar one from Biltema few years back. I was also surprised that they didn't bother to make oilite style bushing for those cast casters. Well, build cheap is built cheap. Luckily Biltema one has edges bent downwards. Though I dislike the diamond shaping on it too. Nuicanse to clean the surface. Also the built-in wheel support is absolute garbage imo. Luckily they have those U-bolt locations at edge on quite many places.

It sounds very similar. I have been on the lookout for the Biltema one, but I think it's discontinued now.

Hey i noticed you have trouble fitting the lift in its storage space. How about you replace the wheels with heavy duty castor wheels that are flexible..eg can move in any direction. That would make it easy to just slot it exactly where you want.

I have used it for a while now, currently with my Cagiva 750 Elefant. This bike is more than 200kg, and quite tall. Moving it around is not too difficult, but since total weight is close to 300 kg I have to be careful not going fast, it's hard to stop it 😬 I always lower the table all way down, moving it when lifted is absolutely not safe!
