    Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:

    I’m planning to get a lift table. Is Harbor Freight the way to go, or are there better alternatives? 500 lb table fine with me. Do any now come with adjustable handles that can be lowered? Or is this still a home mod?

    Well, I found all the modifications inventive and impressive but a bit hinky for me on the HF model.

    So I bought one of these from Grainger. Quite easy to rotate the handle 180, like 10 minutes, so it folds the direction I want, and it works great...the only downside is that the handle doesn’t fold flat over the cart for storage. But I don’t need the handle flat for storage.

    Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

    were the 2 x 4 extending out were you can see them from above or simply lifting from the bottom panel, in other words, were the 2x4 just touching the bottom panel and not the sides? just wondering how strong the bottom panel is and if it can take that kind of pressure (I have seen it in older games works fine, just not sure about new ones)

    There are several creative solutions in this thread. This is one link. Post #827 is another solution.

    Like others I use a couple 2x2 boards to ensure I’m lifting via cabinet not the bottom panel.

    Quoted from hisokajp:

    anyone has a good way to get the lift 1-2" higher, my car trunk is just a little high compare to its full extension.

    Couple pieces of wood on top of the lift platform? Like this mod?
