Hydraulic work bench
« on: May 13, 2012, 10:00:27 am »
I tore a muscle in my abdomen lifting the bike onto the workbench.
Gina says I must get a hydraulic work bench.
The Anderson one is expensive.
What do you recommend?

I could send you some pdf plans to make your own,  I found them on the web a couple of years ago

Hare and Forbes has them on sale a lot and there is a funny fellow in Geelong who sells them(advertises in Just Bikes etc). Both are landed for around the same price. You will wish you had bought one ages ago.

I think most of the budget ones are pneumatic.
Can you forward the plans or the link to me XRH?
If it's cost effective I'll make a couple at the same time.
