Bump, anyone ever use one of these? $1,700 is a little pricy for a lift cart but it does load itself into a truck.

I sometimes debate about getting a lift cart. That's the first I've seen where the "mobile" part is the part that lifts - I usually only see ones where the table is the part that lifts like in the pic from @kbeefy. I like the idea of the sliding section, but it seems TO ME that it would be cheaper to get a standard lift cart and bolt/weld a sliding section/table to the top?

Its not that it slides the load into the truck but that then the base retracts and slides under the load once the load is in the truck.
I have a forklift at the shop but it doesn't do me much good away from the shop.

I have a similar lift cart except it has an engine and a steering wheel. It might get a little western but I’d figure out a way to get it into the back of that truck if I needed to. The yellow one in the OP looks all kinds of handy though.

With the scissor lift under it the cart looks like it has very little clearance for goingover an edge without high centering. Also be careful of how much weight gets put on a tailgate. I've found out the hard way they're not rated for much weight, couple hundred pounds in the wrong spot will warp them.

I could see this being extremely handy loading and unloading a gang box /Knaack at at jobsite that doesn’t have a forklift.

When I did a lot of mobile fab work I ran out of a GMC van and used a Knaack jobsite box to store my tools. It was always a huge hassle getting my tools in and out of the van at customers’ facilities.

I use a HF lift table. Doesn't quite reach modern pickup beds, but it comes close.

Ive got a small Vermont coil hoist and just bought some conveyor rollers for it.I am going to make a mount for them on the hoist to lift tires up and be able to roll them to align the wheel studs with the car on a two post.

They make a tire lift that has rollers on it and a pneumatic ram for lifting. I was thinking of trying to build one myself, but for now the table works well enough. If I only have one tire off, the lugs are usually still aligned.
