This table can hold up to 195 pounds by the push of a button it will rise up twice It’s height, great for projects cooking or working in the shop or Garage. I use it to work on lawnmowers and small engines. I can rise them up to my level and not have to bend down. And for you welders out there, this would make a great hot table. Just put a thin sheet of steel on it bolted in and you have one. I did and I love mine.
