This is the best review I've seen on the Handy S.A.M. 1200 lift table. I'm interested in this lift to work on my Harley motorcycle. Thanks for the great review and comparison. The pros & cons were invaluable. I'll only use this lift once in a blue moon since I don't work on the bike all the time but I think I'll be able to use it for my ATV as well. I also have a walk-behind self-propelled Dixon mower that usually needs some TLC as well as a walk-behind Billy Goat brush cutter (bush hog). The ramps certainly would be valuable to me. Thanks again. Big double thumbs-up. 👍🏽👍🏽🤠 7/2/23
Thank you! I have a crack in my vertebrae between my s5 and l1 so I have pretty bad back pain all the time without the crazy positions I put myself in. These tables have taken me from writhing in pain every day to pain being an afterthought. I use a decompression machine along with this and only occasionally does my back "go out" or my sciatica act up. Thanks for watching!!
I have had weight up to the max and I would say it works well still but does not seem to be able to go quite as high with the max weight on it. Almost like it needs a little help getting all the way to the top lock position with full weight. It has no problem getting to 32-34" with full weight. I run about 105psi out of the compressor
I have the Handy BOB 1500. Bought it for my Goldwing Trike. Works Excellent. Now looking to put side extenders for tractors (garden). Great for when I work on portable generators and small compressors. The days of rolling this tired and worn body of mine around on the floor are gone. Then i have days where it doubles as a second work bench in my shop working on chain saws. Highly recommend this unit. Take my advise, do not wait till your back says nope.
@@IndRepair the 1500 lb Handy lift still uses the original style air cylinder, which isn't as susceptible to leaks as an exposed air bag. My lift tables share space with my fabricating and welding equipment, chips from my mill and lathe would be a hazard for the air bag. True, a pneumatic cylinder will eventually need seals, but that might be many years of use.

It will no doubt be a great lift for you! Thanks for watching!
Great review! People who don’t have back problems can’t appreciate how much difference even just an inch makes.

@@IndRepair 😳 ouch that sucks!
Sometimes!
My son in law gave me his old Harley Davis air lift from a shop that got new ones
It’s very heavy duty 😊
That is awesome!!!
What is the max weight you have had on it? I’m trying to figure out if this table will be able to handle a true 1200lbs Harley Davidson trike.

Definite should have done lifts earlier but hopefully caught it soon enough. Thanks for sharing!
I like air best but I know it’s best not to depend on electric power anymore
Would buy hyd
Yeah seems like the option for longevity!
