Nah, Come on Mick, Mainline is more of a thinker than that - the tray underneath is so your beer is within reach at all times no matter what part of the bike you are working on  ;)

Edit - can't spell for crap

Mainline, how much are they and are they OHS approved?.

still working on a pricing range, obviously the one in the picture has been painted to look like alloy and would therefore be much more expensive. They've been fully tested by the Ponds Institute and the only time someone was injured was when they lifted a sidecar onto it.

You'll note the tray has sides on it to keep the ice in, and room for plenty of beers so you can focus on the job at hand without having to keep going to the fridge

If you up size the tray a little I can put ice in it to keep the beers cold here in Qld.
Bugger it I'll take one- can I have it in Wasp yellow please? oh and fit an out rigger for the chair.
