I bought one about 5 years ago to help my back... Dont have to bend over so much.. Lower to the ground and put parts on the table, then pump up to 36 inch height.. Also roll to the back of truck and same level as the tail gate.. I had to buy a second one after that.. Put news paper on when painting parts... Have a sheetmetal pan to set on it when using the plasma cutter... Cant do without them.. Use it every day............. But i think they were about half price back then !! ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

I have two but they are not near that light duty and both are electric. Both are on casters but too heavy if loaded to move without a machine. One is a "Southworth", (8K lift), the other an "American Lift", (1.250T lift).

Be aware, those cheap cutoff wheels shatter quite easily and I won't allow them in my shop. The best I've found are the Walter brand. They ain't cheap but will handle quite a degree of flex with out shattering. We use them on a daily basis and I don't think I've ever had one shatter into shrapnel like the cheap ones tend to do. |

I strongly second the Walter brand followed by Norton. Both much more durable than those available mostly online. ------------- That's All Folks! |

Have a cart similar but lot heavier , got when closing down plant I worked at . Also picked up a pallet jack (battery powered lift) from floor to 40" or so and 3,000 lb lift . Was going to make a cycle lift from it but then bought a Harbor Freight one on sale . ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

The picture is a Harbor Freight add. ------------- Looking at the past to see the future. '53 WD, '53 WD45, WD snap coupler field cultivator, #53 plow,'53 HD5B dozer Duct tape.... Can't fix stupidity. But will muffle the sound of it! |

They have a lighter duty cart that is 500# rated... But i thought the heavier cart would be better in the long run.. I normally only have 100# on the cart, but sometimes 3-400#.... thats about all i want to mover around and put in the truck... anything bigger would go to the overhead hoist. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |
