QUOTE(mepstein @ Sep 10 2020, 02:19 PM)  There was a good point made earlier in the thread. The lift table is probably 6-8” high at its lowest setting so might not work for the average jack stand engine removal. I used the tangerine lift plate at Zach’s house and it’s the best product out there for the typical type 4 engine and trans removal. If I still had any 4 cylinder engines, it would be in my toolbox. I have one and tried it once and really didn't like it that much. I don't recall why now. I know people do use it with no issues. I might get around to attempting it again someday, but I'm not doing jackstand engine/trans R&R. |

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
I have a lift table, 660lbs, same as the HF table except for the now peeling paint.
Works perfect for my 2 post lift, Mark is right the handle can be in the way, in the pic you can see the handle is off and laying on the floor. I've thought about hinging the handle. I shop made a transmission stand that bolts to the table top. I'm only on the floor for 4 bolts.
