Frosty,

I have one of those portable welding tables, it maxs
out at 600 pounds. I can't remember the last time I
lifted 600 pounds on to it or even 500 pounds or even
400 pounds. 

If I need heavy capacity, I don't use a welding table,
it will probably be on blocks and I use my engine
hoist to lift it.
