[Boatanchors] Service Cart Recommendations

[Dave Harmon]

Hey everybody.......
This lift table looks pretty good but.....
Harbor Freight has 2 sizes that look almost exactly like the Northern Tool unit(s).
I have the 500lb table from Harbor Freight and it lifts Johnson 500 power supplies and Valiant transmitters at the same time.
I think I paid about $170...
The Northern unit looks nice but I think all we need is a 500lb rated table.
Harbor has discounts from time to time so keep watching and you might get lucky!
I should add that the Harbor unit is pretty good quality and never had any problems with the entire table...also has locks on the wheels.

If you are having trouble lifting then what you need is an adjustable height machine shop cart.

Be prepared to spend some money because anything that can let you raise or lower a platform costs more.  But you can get its height level with your bench, lock its wheels and slide the set onto it then lower it to move it, then crank up the platform to the height of wherever you want to put it and shove it off the cart.
