Titan Bike lift @ Walmart?

I've never seen anything like this at this price. $300 and free shipping and it says it'll arrive in 4 days. I'm sure there's better options out there but at this price I'm going to give it a try and if it's shit, I can take it back to a Walmart to return it.

Looks like the Harbor Freight product but cheaper (less expensive). I know several people who swear that this table works well.

I've had a Handy knockoff from this company for a couple of decades now.

Back then I think it was $600 delivered.

I've always wanted one but never had space for it or wanted it at those prices. I've got a plan for the space now and figured the price now's the time.

It already arrived today. Setting it up tomorrow.

It came almost completely assembled with very little to do to make it usable: install the wheel chock and tie down loops and pedals, that's about it.



As some people have reported, the wheel chock that comes with it is useless. It doesn't hold the bike in place at all while strapping it down unless you fiddle with the screw clamp and even then it's next to useless. I have a Condor wheel chock I've been using for years when I haul a bike in the back of my pickup truck. I looked around online to see if I could find something better and came up empty.

By the way, this lift isn't made by Titan. When I called to ask about accessories they told me they'd never made a red moto lift and that I was actually looking for a company called Titan Ramps. I looked around on the Titan ramps web site and never found the moto-lift or any accessories so I circled back to my Condor.

I took the wings off of the Condor to make it fit. I thought about cutting some length off the wings to make it more sturdy but decided that mounting it to the base plate of the Titan lift would be enough. Drilled the four holes I needed to mount up the Condor:



Works like a charm to hold the bike steady while I'm getting the straps on it. This wheel chock held my 1200GS steady in the back of my truck so I expect the same on this lift.



The only other thing I might look in to would be some better wheels/castors. I can roll it around with this little XT250 on it pretty easily but it would be a chore with my GS or anything that big. That should be a pretty easy mod even if I have to fashion up some adapter plates for the wheels.

Your guard dog doesn't seem interested

Hey Tucker is ready to spring in to action should any varmints or deer wander in to his domain. He becomes 16 lbs of energetic barking at the slightest provocation and more than one UPS guy has been scared of him

Would you mind if I copy and past your post #6 to the R1200R forum?
A member there mentioned the Titan lift.

[Pittsdriverwes]

Not at all Lee.

Lee, now you've gone and made me send dog photos. Both are gone now but never forgotten

As Paul Harvey would say - now the rest of the story. Those that ordered this lift a few days after me got a notice from Titan Ramps that their order was being returned by the shipper to the factory because it was sold on incorrect pricing by Walmart. Titan is directing Walmart to refund the purchase to the customers.

One person I know has complained to Walmart about how they're being treated by Titan; i.e. they didn't buy it from Titan Ramps but rather Walmart. The Walmart customer service person said that Titan had to approve the pricing (whoops!) and that they were going to try to resolve it to get the lifts shipped at the price quoted.

So, as suspected, this was a screw up to offer it at that price but I and few others got ours by jumping quickly on the purchase.
