. Need to find an engine hoist with wider legs
Have a wrecker come over and give him a hundro?
You really don't want to take it off the pallet, therwise, you're always stooping over the table like a T-rex for us Jurassic park dinosaurs.
Not many 2000lb+ engine hoists will lift that at the ram height. Might be stuck screwing together an a frame/teepee.
I prefer to roll things, I made this based on something I saw in california as a kid.
I added 4x 1"x8tpi jackscrews n nuts, so I can lift it another 8 inches if need be.
Best mod so far.

That cart is awesome. I might need to do that at some point. No issues with vibrations or anything?
I couldn’t keep it on the pallet. It wasn’t stable, especially with my shitty uneven floor
I did manage to do some really sketchy shit and get it off the pallet. Now the engine hoist fits around the base and I can move it easily. I need to do some trigonometry and make some shims tonight to get it levelish.

Nah, no issues with vibrations. It's all water jetted out of 3/4, 1/2 and 3/8 plate steel.
6 snapon high strength urethane casters. No brakes or torsions.
I bought nuts that are the same size as most's the other hex's on it so that I can use the same tool to do the four screw feet..... Which I have still yet to do.
God, look at all that room you have, I'm so jealous.
You'll actually be able to sweep up the chips instead of cleaning it off of your tool boxes, drill press and grinder

Finally ran a real program with it. Needed a fixture for something at work and figured this was a good excuse to learn with free materials and tooling. Cam done in Fusion with help from our programmer. Can deff bump up the speeds next time
Next is to make some actual car parts

This little lady got dropped off right before Christmas. This is number 3 of the same machine. Workhorse is an understatement.
I bought a little diode laser to play with. It's a 10w tool m1.
This was my first project, a cutting board
