I just called Harbor Freight, they have the 500lb. model on sale for $129.00. Person I talked to said this sale price should be the same in all the Harbor Freight stores. My worn out back and Railroad94 said go get one now!.

Better yet... If you don't mind fibbing a bit.. Go to HARBOR FREIGHT in person and ask to speak to the manager. Tell him that you bought it in February for $97 and the hydraulic blew on it so you threw it away. Ask him to match the price you paid in February........ it worked for me . And yes; the price was $97 in February ( The manager will look this up to verify ; plus it adds credibility to your story )       Call me schrewd; call me a schiester... you can't beat $97...   Bill

Bill I think they are wise to that game. I just purchased one and the girl kept pushing the few extra bucks for insurance in case it brakes down. belive they give one year warranty on the lift.

I think he's looking for a dolly cart stacker, such as the wesco pedalift.  I have both types, lift tables and a pedalift stacker, it goes 54" high and goes lower down to the floor.

Now THAT is pretty cool!! The only problem I see with it is having to navigate 90 or 180 degree turns at stairs because of that long lift base.

I checked that one out but close to 17 hundred it blew me out of the ball park.

I have one like it we bought in auction for 210  out the door best $$$ we spent  helped us( wife/ I) unload 200 slots with up lifting any I would have  paid full price for the work it saves.  we use it to put pins up on lift gate  now we lift nothing

At about 150 pounds, I would never use it for stairs, escalera stair climbers are made for that.

Hi Guys thanks for all the info.  I'm looking for the wesco style and WW-Grainger has it on clearance for $279.00, if you can find them in the stores, not available on-line. I will be calling and driving all over Southern California looking in the Grainger stores because everyone says they have it but when I get there guess what??? It's not, its a $600.00 regular hand truck. If anybody comes across one for a fair price let me know. PS I go in for back surgery in December and I will really need the lift then. Thanks again,  Tim

I have to give my 2 cents worth. those lifts at harbor freight are the best.
I had 2 of them for the last 6 years and they work great and have had no problrms.

I have a Wesco that has been sitting in the back yard. Got it for next to nothing because the hydraulics are not working.
I read this thread today and decided that was going to be my project today.

I had to straighten out the side rails because they were bent. This one is the lightweight magnesium cart. It weighs about 68 lbs The steel models weigh about 110 lbs
Pressure cleaned it to get all the old oil and crud off. Then dismantled the hydraulic cylinder.
I was just going to match up the seals with ones from a bearing distributor, but I see that the Poly seals used inside are custom formed. Not just regular O-rings.
This must explain why Wesco gets $110.00 for the rebuild kit.

I also have the Harbor Freight table model. It's OK, but these are the only drawbacks I have with it.
1)  it doesn't go to floor level. You still have to tilt and lift the machine about 8" to get it on the cart
2)  It will not go high enough to put a machine in the back of a regular pick-up truck. It worked good with my small Isuzu, but not for a Toyota, Ford or Chevy

Here's a good cheap lift table.

True enough that the small Harbor Freight lift table doesn't go high enough in some circumstances. I made a 2X4 small pallet that gives me the extra height I need, but as listed in a previous post, you have to lift the machine even higher to get it on the lift table. Luckily for me, I can just set it on the pallet from the dolly on the stairs.

Neon  next time your loading a full size p/u with your table, back your steering tires up on a 4/4 block each side.

our lift is a regal    it,s the best money I spent it, saves our backs and there nothing here we sell that we can lift or stack or put on a truck alone

I added a platform that I bolted onto the frame to get additional height. I also put on an extension for additional length to be able to carry my pin games.
