Sheet good handling

[member=10147]jobsworth[/member] , Yes the legs were from one of those cheapie tables. But I threw the top away and made my own top from some plywood scraps. When it gets too chewed up I just make a new one.

Good Idea. Im looking for something like that for my small shop. 

Im taking in all ideas....

Maybe use one of the hole pattern jigs and make a MFT style top for it, set it outside of the shop and use it as a cutting table,
ya got me thinking already :>D

Thanks

PortaMate: for our needs to move full sheets of MDF, Melamine and Plywood in congested space from vertical storage to workbench height  - we bought one PortaMate for our own use when it first came out.
We used it again just before Christmas. For our needs it meets the requirement at a very affordable price and very affordable storage space needs.

We like the product so well,based on our experience with it over several years, that we intend to add it to the product line up we offer for sale in 2019.

I'll second the portamate. We have travel trailer in front of my shop in driveway now. I used to be able to back in shop move sheets pretty easy. Now I have about 40 feet to travel with sheet goods. I picked one of these up from amazon and moved 5 sheets of 3/4 melamine..I think they are about a 100 pounds. Took a sheet or two to get it down, but it works great. I only moved one sheet at a time as that is all I was comfortable with. There are parts of it that seem a little flimsy, it's not perfect, but given the price it works just fine. I see some folks have done a couple of improvements to it, I could see if there was a way to lock wheels it would help. If they ever come out with something a little more "Industrial" I'd have no problem paying a premium for one. I'm not using it as an infeed table, but just to get goods to sheet storage. Buy one it will save your back and shoulders....lol
