[R-390] Lifting Heavy Radios

[ToddRoberts2001@aol.com]

I recently took delivery of a Lift Hand Truck to help with lifting and moving 
some heavy boat anchor radios. I am very pleased with how the lift works and 
it will make handling these radios much safer and easier. Anyone who has tried 
lifting an R-390A up to the top of a 5 ft.  rack knows that can be a 
dangerous and back-breaking task. The Lift Hand Truck makes doing that a breeze. If 
anyone is interested I have posted a few pictures showing the unit lifting an 
SP-600 VLF receiver in its cabinet up to a table in my AOL storage area. There 
are a series of 8 pix. You can go to this address :   <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/toddroberts2001/Lift-1.jpg">
http://members.aol.com/toddroberts2001/Lift-1.jpg</A>   . Copy and paste or type in the address if it does 
not come thru as a link. To view the other pictures type in a different number 
after the word Lift-  as in /Lift-2.jpg, /Lift-3.jpg  etc. up to the number 8 
at the end of the address. The unit I bought has a steel frame, the lifting 
plate is 20" x 20" so it is just the right size for lifting R-390A's and other 
table-top size boatanchors and the lifting capacity is 500lbs. It will lift 
500lbs up to a height of about 5 feet using a hand crank and it is small enough 
to easily maneuver around a house. I bought mine from Advanced Handling 
Services and the price was $369.00 . You can go to their catalog at   
advancedhandling.com, click on their catalog window, type in Light Lift Hand Trucks in their 
search window, then click on the link that shows up and you will see it in 
their listings. 73 Todd Roberts WD4NGG.
