Default Lift table for SPORTSMAN's

Anyone using a lift table to work on their Polaris Sportsmans? I seen an under $1k product from the discount ramps site but it looks a little narrow, and I am also concerned about the weight.

Who has what, and what do you all recommend? Context here is when I get the future $$$ to go along in my heated Garage (lol). -- Pipe dreams never die...:-)

Thanks,

R'

I sit on a 5 gallon bucket. Granted I can find one without cow crap on the bottom. Sorry to rain on your parade.

I use an ATV lift from Harbor Freight about $80 and I use a rolling chair also from HF bout $20 works great for most things.

When I build/remodel/rearrange my shop one of the things that is getting added is a lift table for ATVs, riding mowers etc. A relative of mine got an ATV/motorcycle lift with extensions from harbor freight for under 500 bucks. Says it works great.

That and I'm thinking of a two post lift. They're getting quite reasonable now. You can get a decent 2 post lift for around 2 grand. If it gets you to change your own oil more instead of taking it to a quick lube it would pay of itself in a few years. I know the reason why I don't always change my own oil is because I don't want to crawl around on the garage floor.

i dont have one. iv used a bottle jack. when i did police equip installs from 05-08 i used the shops car lift. looked funny. an stv on a big car lift.

on another hand a local small engine repair shop has 2 air powered lifts. brings the atv/snowmobile/or whatever up 4ft. as for spending $1k on one for personal use. id have to pass. unless you have the cash to spend, and or gona get alots use outa it.
