I think that you can't use this contraption for anything.
The reason is that every car jack I've ever used and own all have a lable stating that they are for lifting the vehicle to a safe height to insert permenant jacks only and the vehicle should not be worked on whilst supported only by the trolley jack.
Unless this lift has some way of fixing it in position after it is raised by the trolley jack I wouldn't want to use it.

I agree with you, I had not looked closely enough to notice that this bench did not have a locking mechanism to lock in place once it is at the required height.

If you look at the photos then you'll see it does have a locking mechanism.
Don't understand why people are getting so childish about this, if you're not interested then just laugh/tut at it & move on, why bother plaguing the guy with silly questions? Are your lives really so sad & empty?
OK, it looks a bit rusty, but from the pics that's just superficial, underneath it seems solid enough, it's a high starting price but I doubt you'll get a hydraulic bench any cheaper, think my Machine Mart one cost me ~ £300 about 10 years back.

Well Pat I am glad to see that despite our petty chat, we have not been nasty enough to plague the seller with an trouble. My thoughts were drawn by the chaps expectation that having had this equipment for seven year he feel he should get his money back on it Ebays customers will prove who is right on that expectation.
I am glad to have helped fellow FOC ers to pass their time in idle chat.

Sums it up really

It appears his expectations were fair and he has sold his lifting bench. I hope that the buyers motorbike maintenance is more comfortable now. Was it anyone off of here who bought it. I know that the exposure given to his sale is coveted by many as the for sale sections proves with new member appearing just to sell things.

think I might start making these, would have to price up the materials, my mate got the plans, I thought about making one that's set into the floor so its not in the way when not in use?
Re: Is his expectation fair. - chris.biker - 29-10-12
It has been on my list of to does which is why I was looking at them on Ebay, getting ideas. I think most of the work is in the bearing housings and the pivot axles.
