I have a coupon that is good until 12/7 for $299 from Harbor. Wife said it can be my Christmas present.

 

Been looking at how you put a power operated setup on on. I have found a bottle jack that will do 20 tons with an air assist that may do it. Seems like a lot, but the force to start lifting the bike when the lift is all the way down is high.

 

My cousin has one that has an air lift on it. One site I read said it took about 50 pumps of the foot pedal to lift a bike up.

One compulsion I have is counting everything. It's been awhile since I used my HF lift, but I think it's just over 50. Doesn't take a lot of force, but a lot of cycles.

 

I try to use the air lift for most things. The HF gets pressed into service when I need to load a bike backwards that has bags or pipes that interfere with the tall clamp on the air lift. It also gets used for quick jobs when the air lift is tied up.

Rider magazine has a coupon for $299.99. Bought one last year and it is great.

 

If you get one, spend the extra $40 for the wheel chock. The chock on this lift is pretty bad.
