If you are trying to make us envious, you succeeded. Nice set up.

Damn - that's pretty sweet. Was this a retro install? Did you cut through the slab?

Would also love to hear more details about your install. I would love to have a lift table but don't have room....this would solve my issues. Very nicely done!

Not trying to make anyone jealous,just showing what I wanted to do for years but never really thought it through or researched it.It's a Complete Hydraulics lift.Being a contractor has many advantages, including having many tools.
Cut up the existing floor 8" longer and wider than lift size,dug down 12",installed conduit pipe for air line to come out under bench and poured 5" concrete floor.Then poured concrete walls3.5" wide all around.After it was all dried,poured some self levelling floor leveler to give it that smooth look.I'm really happy with the way it turned out.Labour intensive but not a lot cost wise.Would have been much easier in new construction.As my Garage is also my woodshop,I don't have much room to spare,and this was the only way I could see it working.Got most of my info from this link http://msgroup.org/forums/mtt/topic....archTerms=lift
