Quoted from pinmister:he Harbor Freight hydraulic lift cart is a good cart for the money and many people modify them to meet their needs...
I have this cart. It will need to be modified for pinballs in two ways.
1. It is not wide enough to move pinballs. I use two 2x4s laid on top to widen the capacity.
2. The handle must be modified so it will pivot down, so you can get the lift table far enough under the pinball to be balanced.
There are other threads here on the modifications. If anyone is interested, let me know and I’ll send pics on how I did mine. It involves welding.
Also, the table doesn’t release down smoothly bearing the weight of a machine. Maybe I don’t have mine adjusted right, but I can’t gently squeeze the handle to slowly lower it.
Other considerations: it is heavy, around 80 lbs. Don’t know how that compares to other lift tables. If you move pinballs in a small car like I do (Impreza) there isn’t room for the lift table and a pinball.
