harbor freight has some excellent platform lift things... worth checking.... we like things like this as large TV studio cameras weigh 100 to 200 <<and one here is 300 (tk42)>> when we get a caucus in and want to clean it up and make it presentable for display we like to work on it at bench height... (once in a while it is good to raise a tape drive up in the air too...) << I can't believe I used to grab a 7970E out of a rack... walk it across the computer room and put in another rack by my self......no more.... I just look at it in the rack and get tired now!!>>> ED# In a message dated 7/4/2016 4:12:07 P.M. US Mountain Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
