Trike Lift Table

[Haste Maker]

Looking for pro's & con's from people that either own or have owned a RedLine trike lift table...

 

[Rev Ray]

I am no expert, however I like the redline mc625r table, it is rated at1750lbs. this should work for most trikes. Also use 68 in side ext and mc 10r wheel chock.

Ray,
That's actually not made by Redline / that's a K&L Lift that I use for the Trike And My Kubota Tractor and my Hunting Mule... along with my riding mower... its a great lift that carries a load and get the work right at face level..... Locked in place....

I bought this one:
http://www.redlinestands.com/catalo...-trike-motorcycle-lift-table-clearance-p-1355
Got it this last August. First thing I saw was the big "Made in China" stamped on the crate. They don't tell you about that on the website.

My son is a welder, builds industrial equipment. He helped me set it up, said it looked liked it was built pretty solid. It was missing the wheel stop they show in the photos, didn't matter to me 'cos I was putting a wheel chock on it anyway.

I got the electric lift pump, doesn't come with directions. You have to hunt down the video on the website to figure out how to adjust it. Simple once you know how.

I like it now that I got past all the stumbling blocks. It's smooth going up and down, and is plenty steady with something on it. I changed out the lift blocks on my Freewheeler and was sure nice not having to crawl around on the ground to do it. Had to do some heavy cheater bar wrenching to bust some of the bolts loose and never worried about anything moving that shouldn't.

I see it's on clearance now, but it's still the same price I paid. If you got any questions give me a shout.

Neighbor had one..... trike was on it (Goldwing) and he set two boxes of oil also on it to put on the shelf.... went to lunch and returned.... Not very Handy!!!! And it was locked in the up position.....

The only question I have is is that the 1500 lb model or the 700?It looks like the ones we used for mowers and they had a 700 or so capacity.Just a thought.

I agree I don't think that was a 1500 lbs model

 

[Solidbob]

That was an early model 1500 that wasn't to stable.... maybe they are better now..... thought I had a photo prior but guess not....

I just wondered.The ones we had were pretty old and the area where the failure happened on that on was thin on those but they had full side extensions which I think gave it more strength.I know when the guy in the shop next door bought his Greg Smith lift I was very impressed with how heavy it was compared to the Handy.

That's why I use the K&L made equipt... I have the 625 air lift at 1750# and its been bullet proof.... neighbor has the same but hydralic and its a little messy... but still good,....
