I’m asking for experience feedback and recommendations on heavy duty motorcycle jacks and lift tables. I’m most concerned about sturdiness so my 900 lb RG doesn’t go free-falling off the jack or table. Thanks!

I think Handy does "production runs" spring and fall on the lift tables, for their inventory. When I ordered mine it was in the fall just before they started one of these runs, and I got lucky as I didn't have to wait but 2-3 weeks for delivery, and getting it in any color didn't delay the process for painting. So you'll have a "fresh" lift. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I have come really like their "airbag" design.
I also added a set of these retractable tie downs to the lift table.... what a great great idea, makes a one person operation so smooth too... highly recommend them for any table lift.

Another Handy lift owner. I called and talked to the owner, I found he will bring the price down for a homeowners garage, as they mainly sell to businesses.
Iam not gonna comment on the other brands, as I sure they serve their owners well.
If you look in a m/c repair shop, you'll find they use Handys lineup for a reason.
If your buying new and don't run across a deal, I believe you can't go wrong on a Handy for your $30k bike. And the airbag lifting method is sweet
I saved $100 per month for my lift and when it was time to buy, I bought mine for $300 more than the imported lifts by picking mine up at the trucking terminal.
Good Luck in your search

Last year i purchased an A plus lift rated at 1500 pounds. It is worth the money, has detachable sides and is air powered. here is the link.

That Big Blue looks awesome. I have a HF drive on now that works but I am debating welding some square tube under it for support and to add a wing to my lawn tractor to fit. Big Blue might reduce the need for that and allow me to store one of my bikes off the ground which would be great. I can't find pricing or how to purchase though. ???

Consider me one of those "weenies" @hellinabasket mentioned. I've been using my harbor freight lift table for about 7 years now without any issues. I do basic oil changes to engine swaps on it and it's never let me down and I always strap the bike down when it's on the lift for safety because you're stupid if you dont no matter what brand you own or buy. Theres good and bad stories on everything so good luck with your decision
I love my lift table. I bought a "cheap" one, something in between the HF and Handy lift. Doing oil changes and tires swaps are a breeze, and having the platform to set your tools is great. If you have the room for it I would say go with a lift table, if space is an issue then that big blue is very interesting but for the price you are almost at a high quality table 🤷♂️
Do you have a brand name for it, just curious.

+1 on the Titan Lift Tables. I was lucky to get a great deal on a used one.
The brand name is "Pro-Point". We have a store called Princess Auto up here which is very similar to your Harbour Freight. They have a "Power Fist" line of tools and have a lift like the HF lift, and then their "pro-point" line of tools is a step up. Here is my review of the lift I bought 1500lb Pro Point lift table from Princess auto

Thanks for the input everyone. I decided to go with HF Pittsburgh Automotive 1500 Lb Aluminum Lift, on sale for $197. For oil changes, washes, etc. it’s all I really need so I don’t have to crawl around on my 61 year old knees while washing it 😂.
