To justify the space it would take I'd like to use it as another workbench when I don't need it as a hydraulic table, but staying in the up position would be kind of necessary for that.

It would be easy to drill some holes into the tract and add a pin for a hard stop instead of relying on the hydraulics.

I guess you get what you pay for. This sounds scarier than my current 24" x 28" table.

I see if you need it as a table to stay up overnight but if it is just for your motor i think the price is attractive enough to use for the random motor drops. Unless of course you sleep underneath the table...

It looks like the Harbor Freight one, except the color. For $200, you can't go wrong for the 1k lb. one at HF. Or, you can purchase Snap On for $7k. That's the one some of the Porsche shops use.

my harbor freight didn't leak down at all. Then again, i'm not sure why you'd leave it up overnight. just lower it down or allow it to lower itself as it leaks

I actually found the HF one here locally in Toronto for $529 + tax.
Didn't buy it.

Might have a winner, but no labels.
2'x4'
Any guess on capacity?
