Quoted from mot:So I'd like to ask the experts: does a lift table provide any assistance in upending a machine?
Technically you never have to up-end your machine when using a lift table. Just lift it with the legs on and push it to your destination. The lift table is worth its weight in gold considering how much it reduces the risk of back injury.
There are many different mod ideas to add hinging to the lift table, do some searches for that. In the mean time you can remove the screws at the base of the handle, which will allow you to remove the handle at will. Keep it in to move the lift table itself, and pull it out to position the lift table in the center of the game, at which point you can lay the handle underneath the table, off the ground and roll it.
