RUWI lift table

Felder also has a couple of models. Might want to take a look at them if only to make you feel better about the RUWI price [eek]
I believe that [member=63059]HAXIT[/member] has two of those.
He hasn’t been active since April though. But here’s a link to his shop build. He talks about them in it.

At the last IWF in Atlanta I saw the Marcon Lift Table. Pretty pricey table but if you prevent one lost time injury or save one heavy project from damage you'll pay for it. Seems like it was in the $4K range. As I recall they are sold pretty old school; you have to call! Here's the phone#/email info from the brochure: 707.292.6289 conradrey@comcast.net
I spoke with Conrad for a few minutes, he is very passionate about his product! Seemed to be very well built, aimed at the furniture industry rather than an adaptation from metal fabrication.
I did find a reference to them on line here:

I purchased a Felder FAT 300 a few years ago and built out my mobile MFT work station, using it as the base. Although they are pricey, it works really great in my small shop/garage and was worth it to me and would do it again. I saw the RUWI system and have now replaced the top with something more like RUWI's .. just need to CNC the tops, using baltic birch laminated with black formica micro-dot. Will show photos when done.

I've almost had a chance to get a hospital-bed, you know the ones you can adjust in height, for next to nothing. The deal was cancelled last minute, all the beds needed to go in 1 lot, and there were quiet a few. I wanted to see if it was possible to convert it to a height adjustable workbench. There load capacity is pretty good, If I remember correctly, something of 250kg. Easy to roll around, lockable, height adjustable (with remote), decent size. Perfect I think, been looking out for one ever since to try it out.

What is the difference between these high dollar lifts and a standard motorcycle lift? I can find any videos that show the raising and lowering mechanism. Is it motorized? I guess my question is this a better choice than getting a cheaper lift? I’m willing to spend it, just wanting to know what I’m getting.

It is common to not take into the cost of failure when assessing actions or purchases. Often the cost of failure is greater than expected and the shortcut or cost savings was a miscalculation. It is often better to bear the burden or cost up front. Failure is a much harder critick than success is an admirer.

Note that there is also a larger size available from FELDER, the FAT 300S and FAT 500S. Barth also makes similar hydraulic lifting tables.
These tables differ from other “standard” hydraulic tables in that the Ruwi/FELDER/Barth tables are controlled with your feet/toes, whereas the tables more common in North America tend to have a handle. Since the Euro- style tables have their controls at floor level, their table surface is unimpeded, allowing them to be used for in-feed/out-feed support for machinery.
The other appeal of this style of table is that they’re “cordless”, as opposed to the powered lift tables which I suspect would be a hassle to wheel around the shop.....
