Bike lift-cheap.
Re: Bike lift-cheap.
gday LB, ive been warned about some of these cheapies, not all though and i cant say about the quality of this one either, but i would like to be able to see one up close to see the quality of the build, see ya
Re: Bike lift-cheap.
HafCo do the usual run of Chinese made stuff but its all pretty good or else they wouldnt sell it as its a bricks n mortar shop and not a fly by night ebayer. In fact they sell huge machines like lathes, folders and mills for industry and some of their stuff is amazing.
That said, the same unit (same with lathes, blasters, mills and other things) is probably cheaper from an ebayer etc, but Hafco will often do a cash deal and they have stuff in stock, which saves on postage if you have one close by. These cheapie chinese things come in various levels of quality tho, and hafco has the better end of that, they have to i guess.
Ive bought a few things from them, all chinese stuff and have been happy with what ive got.
(you will need something solid to get one of these lifts home in by the way, they are heavy as hell from what ive read...)

Re: Bike lift-cheap.
should also say, hafco have all their kit on display in their shop, so you can look all over such a thing if you wanted to buy one before making the purchase...

Re: Bike lift-cheap.
well ive had another look, may have been a bit hasty in condemming, they have a store at coopers plains about an hour away,might give them a call and see if they have one up here to look at, im sick of using a whole bunch of milk crates for everything, i dont even have a work bench
Re: Bike lift-cheap.
Jase, Same here mate... id love one, top class idea to have a decent lift, save you sitting/laying on the ground to do work on the bike...
Ken, eeek... ive had bikes fall off crates, be careful mate!
As an aside, I got a bunch of pretty goodvalue and solid benches from Supercheap when they were on special (every few months). $120 for 2 benches and they clip together. Jase saw them when he was here. I painted the MDF shelevs/tops with decking oil and they seems to be holding up fine.

Re: Bike lift-cheap.
well i got the lifter, very good but leaks oil when fully down, i will give them a call but have every confidence it will be sorted.
