Ideal Hydraulic Lift

Copernicus · Jul 11, 2023

Anyone have one of these? I bought a Harbor Freight one and instantly regretted it. I'm sure it is probably OK, but I do not like the deflection I'm seeing when I'm working on it. The Ideal 2200 one is a little spendy at $3,500 shipped to my door, but I like that it looks like it could pick up any bike/atv produced today. I looked at Handy's as well, but a friend said his can occasionally be a bit jerky if you go ham with the raising/lowering.

I'll attach some photos of it if anyone is interested when it gets delivered this weekend.

Handy is on my list, doing some research on others and what space I’ll need. Timely post!

Could figure out where it’s ......, and improve/reinforce the Harbor Freight one?

The problem is the gauge of the steel is extremely thin including the support structure. I think it would be more trouble than it's worth to me.

Will check out the Handy for sure.

I have a Handy lift and I love it. Also, if you have any hookups at your dealerships check with them most likely they are a parts unlimited dealer and they can order you a Handy lift vs paying full price online.

Which HF did you get?
Here's mine, I think it's pretty solid. Holds my 800lb Harley no problem.

What lift would fit between the wheels of a mid-size SUV or say a F-150?

B Topp · Aug 3, 2023

If you are talking about just parking over the top of them then most lifts would probably work.

BP PanigaleV4S · Aug 4, 2023

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Being able to park on top of it.
