Hydraulic lift table

[David Ragan]

I wound up going over to Buford Saturday AM, and picking up theirs. Was $233.

Wait six weeks and then get back to us and let us know how often you use the new hydraulic table

Would be great if I really didn't see how I ever got along w/o it.....

You may see why I own four of them. There seems to be an endless number of jobs that I use mine for from holding up stuff to machine stands to unloading heavy machines and material from the back of my truck.

When I bought my 1000 pound CNC Router it was put in the back of my truck at the factory in a large wood crate. Once I got home I backed up to my garage door and was able to slide the crate onto my hydraulic table and lower it to about 9" from the floor. At that point I removed the top of the crate and started unloading the pieces individually. I've done similar offloads with large machines on pallets, once the truck is out of the way I can use a lifting device to get the machine to the floor.

I use them for welding jobs too, when I really need the piece to be level and its odd shaped I place each end on a hydraulic table and adjust the height until it perfect. When I have to shift a project and it changes the level its a snap to get it adjusted again. I once had a three year contract to build custom corner cabinets for a local school system. I built an elaborate jig that bolted on one of my hydraulic tables that we used to assemble the cabinets that saved our backs and lots of man-hours over three years.

I could write a book on the projects I have used my hydraulic tables on over the last ten years.

You could write many books on all the nifty stuff you have made!

Thanks Mike but I have to admit that I am slowing down considerably these days. My age is part of the equation and now that warmer weather is here I have undertaken the largest vegetable garden that I have ever had. My investment in the garden as grown to the size that I have to build a fence this year to keep the deer and other critters out.
