Fab/ Tool Cart- Bottle Jack Actuated Feet

[Nicnumber1]

Like the title says, I remember seeing a couple examples of this. Can anyone lead me or link this thread I can't seem to find it.

Essentially, it was a rolling table that could be raised or lowered via a bottle jack to sit on fixed feet.

Any help or sources would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks to Photo bucket all my thread pics are gone but here is a video of my version of what I think you are talking about.

I am working on a variation of this design that seems much easier to make. Will get some pics tonight as it hopefully comes together a bit more

Attached pictures show what I did.
2.5" tubing as a sleeve with 3D printed bushings over 2" legs.
Still need to attach wheels but it works better than I could have hoped for at first

Here is my version-

Did not watch the whole video, but at 2;15 he mentions that table weighs 1500 lbs. Empty.

I kind of wonder about that. If most of that weight is in the top, you sure to not see much x bracing.

Gearbox how do your leveling feet work?

The top weighs in at around 1200 pounds and there is several hundred pounds in the frame, the damn thing is a beast. Doesn't need a ton of bracing the fitment of the square tube and good welds will do all of the work.

When I was at discount steel I saw these 6"x6" plates that had four holes in them. They sell those drop offs by the pound,as I looked at them I thought bases for the legs but what about leveling right? So I threaded them holes put four bolts in and tacked the nut on top. One bolt will level it then I snug the other three down to the floor. Nothing fancy but it's pretty strong.

Any other options like this or ideas? I'm going to start working on a robust tool cart design for industrial applications and I'm going to start a build thread.
