I have managed to get hold of some plans for my bike lift table as per my previous thread.

these lifters are designed for lifting heavy road bikes but I am only lifting a lightweight adventure bike or heavy trail bike depends on how you look at it, about 170kg with a full tank of fuel.

I'm hoping there is a Engineer (past or Present) in the Newcatle area, that can help me lighten the design and construction of the above lifter.
