The motorbike you are going to put on top of the lift table determines how much weight capacity you are going to need in that case. A basic lift table is going to have a capacity of 500 pounds, which is all you need for a small bike. However, if you want to put a decent weight on top of the lift table, you should get one that has at least a 1000 pound weight holding capacity. But if you want a more heavy-duty option, you can always go for ones that have better capacity such as 1500 pounds or more.
