[Hallicrafters] Re: A SX-28 followed me home today LIFT CARTS

[W4AWM at aol.com]

These lift carts are also carried by Harbor Freight at their various stores 
and by mail order. They come in 2 lifting capacities and the platform size for 
the higher capacity unit is just over an inch orerall larger than the lower 
capacity model. For that reason, I went with the largest unit. There is also a 
slight difference in the lifting height with the high capacity model being a 
fair bit higher. The lowest position is s alight bit higher, but I figured it 
was easier to "moose" something onto the platform at the lowest level than to 
try and match bench height at the higher level. The units come with a rubber 
mat, but I would suggest that be replaced with a carpet remnent in ofrer to cover 
the sides of the platform as well as the tip.

About the only drawback I see is that the units are made in China so the 
paint possibly contains lead.

Both of these unite were recently on sale and my mail flier had a certificate 
worth 15% off of any single purchase, making the larger unit even more 
attractive.

The usual disclaimers apply.
