I just got a great deal on the HF lift table. Got it when they had the sale for it at $299 and went there but they didn't have a forklift operator to load it in my truck. I told them I could do it but they wouldn't let me due to insurance reasons. So I had to come back in two days BUT I got an additional 20% off. I thought that wasn't too bad at all so I kept my mouth shut and returned in two days and got the discount in addition to the sale price.

I am happy with the table but the front wheel clamp on this thing is less than desirable and that is being kind:confused: Of course I strap the bikes down to it and this is still a great table for the price. But I was wondering if anyone else in here has this and wasn't happy with the clamp and what did you do about it? I guess I am soliciting for ideas and for the record...I wouldn't be upset at all if you shared some pictures too:p:D

Thanks for the help!
 
Get a wheel chock from the same store and bolt it on like this.

I have hear other people say that you are very worth your while to get almost any other wheel clamp. Some have said the jacking pump didn't have oil in it when they bought it, and they had to get some hydraulic oil on their own nickel to fill it. On the whole though, you can get that 299 coupon just about any time, so it's worth it even if it might need some adjustment to get it perfect.

I bought this wheel chock from harbor freight and bolted it down in place of the stock one. I don't even recall what I did with the old one but it was junk. Be warned: The harbor frieght lift is just fine, but you absolutely, positively must use straps with your bike every single solitary time!!!!

Harbor freight also sells a wheel stop that works very well on this table, about $39.99
 
I think there was a pin that was kind of iffy too that some replaced, maybe someone will chime in.
