    5-ton ajustable work table leg design and alignment

    Hey kjoiner! Thanks for suggesting the Spiralift. Coincidentally, I called them last week to inquire about their lift system!

    5-ton ajustable work table leg design and alignment

    Nescius, I've taken a look at many commercial garage lifts, 2-post, 4-post, scissor lift, etc., however, one thing I forgot to mention is that we assemble the dump truck bodies upside-down on the table, so the table has to fit inside the truck body, hence the 80" width (smaller than our...

    5-ton ajustable work table leg design and alignment

    Hi guys, I'm currently working on an ajustable welding platform that is 100" long, 80" wide, that needs to adjust in height from 12" to 72" above ground, and must be able to support a load of 10,000 lbs. This platform is used to weld dump truck bodies and the welders need to be able to work...
