i built this cabinet for a recent drum sander purchase. although it works well, the ~100 lb weight of the sander makes lifting it into the operating position a bit challenging. i'd like to install something that would assist the lifting process, like the pistons that help lift the rear tailgates on minivans. anyone know of a source for something like that which could be screwed into my sander cabinet? i thought about a screen door opener, but they tend to be too large and lack sufficient power. thanks
