Supporting Member piotrek Posted April 13, 2023 Supporting Member Share Posted April 13, 2023 Nice product review. I am sure a bunch of people are eyeballing this. I can see this being very useful where you need to move the project about the garage/shop while it's all apart, to make space for another vehicle or some such... but, otherwise kinda unnecessary to do maintenance on the bike methinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member dazzler24 Posted April 15, 2023 Supporting Member Share Posted April 15, 2023 I might be stating the obvious but FWIW - something that might be worth noting for some people is that delivery might depend on your location anyway. This snapshot from the UK site only shows delivery to the UK and Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintersdark Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 Yep, and the US site shows North America delivery options. Was just asking because I'd be unsurprised to see sales being region specific. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Kenny A. Posted April 18, 2023 Supporting Member Share Posted April 18, 2023 Was watching a new Abba Skylift + GXSR 750 fitting kit on fleabay here. Sold for £374. Somebody got a bargain. 👍 2 2019 900 GT, 1969 Honda S90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintersdark Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 What I really love about the Skylift? Unlike a lift table, it takes up virtually no space while not in use. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 ABBA Skylift back in stock in the UK now but no offers on their website. I think I’ll wait to order and see if there are any offers in May with the Kings Coronation holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike a lift table, it takes up virtually no space while not in use. Having multiple bikes (and a dedicated 2 wheel shop, which is not relevant to this post), I always keep a bike on my Handy lift table, so the table really does not take up very much additional floor space. Additionally, the bike I leave on the lift is one I ride infrequently when not otherwise using the lift table, especially duringthe winter. Consequently, as I keep the lift table in the up position, I find I store shoes and spray cans of lube and waxes under the lift table so they are kept warm when the wall heater blows under it at the work benches on the oppositeshop window wall. That enables heat circulation towards the opposite side of the shop, as the entire length of that side of the shop has a continuous work bench with built-in tool storage, shelves, cabinets and drawers. I also find myself using the lift table for sort of a staging or temporary storage table in the significant open space around the bike. A 220v 10k btu wall sleeve ac unit is in the perpendicular end wall of the shop directly in front of the lift So I really get quadruple duty out of my lift table; which as I mentioned before I bought in 95 for about $650 with the excellent wheel vice and dolly that makes moving the table a one-person job. Yes maybe I have a more unique and enviable work area situation but I designed and built my garage with an integral yet partitioned off shop with a level floor, which required a slight ramp up from the auto parking area through a 5'-6" wide pocket door. The shop also has its own swinging door. Yeh it's rough but I grin and bear it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member dazzler24 Posted March 1 Supporting Member Share Posted March 1 I would quite like one of these BUT.... not when the freight to the land down-under from the Old Dart is just over 60% of the price of the lift itself. OUCH! I also note that freight to the US is only around 28% on top of the list price after conversion. Why such a discrepancy? Sadly I'm forced to look at alternatives. Disappointing to say the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member dazzler24 Posted March 1 Supporting Member Share Posted March 1 Sad face indeed @2and3cylinders. I've sent them a stern email about my displeasure and I'm sure 😏 I'll get a completely logical reason why us colonials are gouged out of the equation. Whatever, and moving on....
