I recently picked up two of these old hospital tables to use for moving my 265 into place and my 125 out. The sides fold down
easily, they have four wheel steering for easy movement, they have a hydraulic lift, they tilt, have good brakes, and can hold/lift up to 700 pounds. It made it extremely easy to roll the table in place, set the brake, pump up the hydraulics so the tank was the same height as the stand, then slide the tank over. I got them for free and am offering them up for free to the club or anyone in the club.

This is very nice of you, Zack will probably chime in on this after he gets off of work tonight. I am sure he will want to add these to the List of Equipment http://www.maast.org/forumdisplay.php?112-Equipment
If you have room to store them it would be nice to just add you to the list of the MAAST carts keeper since these look and work great

What a great idea and very generous of you. I know I would be up for borrowing one down the road.

They work great, i used two due to the stairs up to my house, i put the tank on the one of the side walk and one on the porch then was able slide the tank across some boards from one table to the next. I would love to see someone else get use from them, unfortunately I do not have a place to store them

I will send you a pm... We are needing to move our tank. We don't have room to store it either though.

I need to get rid of these tables before next wednesday. If no one here wants one or both i'm going to have my scrap metal guy come pick them up.

I think Mike can use the table to move his tank this weekend. I'm sure we can take them. I don't have space in my home at the moment but I think we might be able to store them at Mike Zimmermans house. Assuming he's okay with it.

So we have one of these now. It was helpful in moving our tank this weekend. Hoping we can find someone who needs it soon and can come get it from us, as it takes up a lot of room.

Would any MAAST member or sponsor be willing to store this hospital bed? It makes a great cart for tank moves and we'd like to add it to our equipment library for charter members and sponsors to borrow when they would need it. I'd be willing to offer a free charter membership/ discount on a re-sponsorship if anyone is able to store this for us and help us keep track of who is renting it.
