    Homemade 3 wheeler work table

    Got this heavy duty table years back. Just had to add to it's length and fab a front wheel stop up. Made the front stop adjust in or out for different trikes. Great to not have to work at ground level. Ultimate goal is to buy me a pallet jack and fab it up to be able to lift the whole table to the moon if needed. Here ya go What's nice about it is that you can step inside the rack to get closer to the trike, not lean over like a solid table top if needed.

    waaay better than carpeting in the dirt.

    I'm looking at garage plans now and will add some sort of lift
    to the project too...and a heated floor somehow.

    Thanks for the motivation.

    We put in a elecrtic cable hoist. We take a tow strap to the machine. We have a nice flex joint that allows us to spin the machine around at will. We can lift the machine a little or a lot. It allows us to get right up close and personal without bending over at all.
    Been using this hoist for 10+ years. I loved it so much I put one in my garage here at home.

    I have a 4 ft in ground atv hoist I need to get installed here at the house. It has a 2ft X 2ft lazy susan top that would be just awesome to work with.

    My brother and I use an old picnic table to work on out 70s, it works out great. You can sit on the bench and be at a perfect level to work, also a place close by for your beer.

    My dad picked it up from a guy who was cleaning up his property. We hauled off a few junk cars and other stuff and that was in the mix. I've never had it operating but would like to start working on it in the next 6 months.

    here is how its been sitting for the last few years. Upside down of course.


    The top is like 1/4" thick steel. I'd like to get it either powder coated or put bedliner on the top.
