By Redline
Not interested in Spyder mod they sell. Just regular table with regular extensions that only get to 51 in. wide max.
I know I need 62/63 inches.
Question:
Who has a regular Redline 1500 HD lift table.
What mods did you make?
How do you like it?
Pros/cons
Wish to talk to someone that has one. Thanks.
I’ve had one for about 2 years now. I have a metal supplier nearby so I bought 3 longer lengths of black pipe to widen the extensions out. I use PVC pipe as spacers over the pipe between the main table and the extensions. When you do that, the ramps no longer fit plus the angle is pretty steep for the front of the Spyder. (I have a 2015RTS). I bought 6 foot long steel ramps on sale at Harbor Freight. I cut them down to 4 feet and welded the remaining 2 foot pieces together to make a third ramp. Had to fabricate a lip to join the table for the third ramp. I made pins to anchor the ramps to the main table and each extension. I also bought HF wheel chocks and with some minor modification anchor them to the front of each extension to the tie down anchors. So, the Spyder goes up the ramps easily, doesn’t hit anything and with the Center front wheel chock in its widest mount and open, rolls up to the added wheel chocks and fits fine.
My table came with with a leaky master cylinder and Redline shipped a replacement very quickly. Their customer Service is great. I picked up my table to save shipping costs. The sucker is super heavy so be creative or have help uncrating it.
We received our table yesterday.
The delivery guy got a running start from street and pulled it up an inclined driveway on a manual pallet jack. He sat it in garage. I told hubby how are we going to get it off the wooden crate bottom. The guy was headed back to his lift gate and putting pallet jack up when I ask him if he could help us. In 15 min we had 3 sides of wooden crate off all the individual pieces out and he helped tilt table while we got it off bottom of crate. Creative and fast. Delivery came in a 48ft truck. We didn't want to hold him up. He had more deliveries to make. We love our new toy right now his 97 Valkrie is on it. Thank you for replying with pics and how to do the mod. I don't need an oil change till June. He retired Feb 1st so.he has time. I don't need an oil change till June. He also has a bent crossmember on the Valkrie. Thats another project.
Thanks again.
