Making Hydraulic Lift Table
Vložit

- The table was not built to lift heavy loads, but the structure seems to me to be able to withstand a load of 200kg or 300kg maximum, all depending on where the load will be placed, if the load will cover the whole table top I am sure the table will withstand even heavier loads. The construction of the hydraulically adjustable table was to relieve my back, and because it is easy to adjust the table, the work is much lighter and more comfortable. The force of the actuator is 10T, but such a force is not needed, better for such a construction would be a weaker actuator, so it would be much faster. The hydraulically adjustable table is very comfortable and versatile for work. We can carry out locksmithery, welding, assembly and repair work on the table. Thanks to the wide range of table adjustment we can lower it to insert the object and then raise it to a comfortable position. Thanks to the transport wheels, the table is mobile:)
I made something pretty similar about 20 years ago for a friends dad.
For work he reconditions classic car engines in his workshop. He has a 4 foot high 3 shelf racking running all along one wall. That's where the customers engines are stored while waiting their turn to be stripped and rebuilt, Or just waiting for the customer to come and pick the rebuilt unit up. Even in his late 40's he could still humph some pretty hefty engines onto that racking by himself, But age was creeping up on him.
What I built used the same parallel links like you made, But had a drop step on the end that was big enough to pull an engine onto from the bottom shelf and move to a middle shelf so he could spin the table around and then drag the engine onto the main table section. I made large brass bushings and used ground rod (Cross drilled at the ends to take retaining pins) for all the pivots, And the ram came off an old engine hoist to lift the table. Worked bloody well considering it was 90% made of scrap metal I'd scrounged from work. :)
In those 20 or so years I've only ever been asked to take a look at it once, And that was because with about 15 years of constant use it had worn all 8 brass bushings so much that the table top could be rocked 4" side to side on the slop. I made some more bushings, fitted new ground bar stock and added some grease nipples this time around. :D
My mated dad will be hitting 70 in a couple more years, And when I asked if he had plans to retire any time soon I was told "Yes. When I hit 70 I've decided that I'm going to take life a bit easier........ So I won't be working on the weekends anymore". LOL ! Blokes a feckin' legend !
That's a cool story. Ignore the idiot above me
Absolutely a great build!!!
My suggestion is to add a security stop in case of the hydraulic jack fails once extended
Thank you 😁 Yes I need to upgrade the table with such a security :)
that's a nice idea
I can see air added to the manual pump. 👍👍AWESOME BUILD!!!
Pneumatic pump drive for sure to speed up lifting :) Thank you :)

I'm a big fan of bringing the work up to a proper height to do instead of trying to bring your body to the work. This is a really strong design I appreciate.
Thank you 😁
Perfect work. It helps to keep the workers to hold their bodies in an ergonomic posture. Definitelly will build something like this. Thanks for sharing this know-how.
My back loves this table so yours will like it too :) Thank you :)
That's Amazing! That's something your always needing in your workshop specially when you have many projects that require up and down movement. 👍😎
Really like your videos especially the start with the music and can still hear the machines and workshop noise. Seems like you've got the perfect mix for me at the beginning.
Thank you :)
This is my first year of welding and I just realize I am very far away from this kind of welding but ur job it's freaking awesome
epic man , once i get a garage or work shop, this is def on the must make list, my lower lumbar loved it
Thank you 😁 My spine also loved this table 😁
Hola
Tu trabajo es perfecto muy bueno, te felicito. Excelente para no causar problemas en la espalda.
Toda mi admiración.
Awesome build! Also you can use a power steering hydraulic pump to power the ram by electricity. That would make even more useful!:)
Thank you :) Very good idea with a power steering pump, I have to use it :)
Nice build and video. I did notice that the higher the tabletop got the more tilted it became. A suggestion: On the next Lift build you might want to go with a scissor design (X-configuration) with a screw drive. This will provide equal rise on both supports allowing the tabletop to remain level. Again, great work. Keep it up.
Thank you :) Maybe it looked like it in the video, but the table top does not tilt when lifted.
@@WorkshopFromScratch My bad.
Great job love it I need one myself.
It is a great project. I hope it did as much fun building it as I had waching it. I would upgrade it in the future with a motor. It looks like it takes a huge amount of pedaling to completly lift. It is definetly a very useful thing in anyones workshop. Tks for sharing.
KEWL BUILD Thanks.
It's SO REFRESHING to watch a DIY video and watch someone who actually KNOWS how to do proper set-ups and do welding, instead of the usual dobbing. It tickled me. Thanks again!
I hope that's sarcasm .....
Nie rozumiem jak można dać łapkę w dół . Robicie super rzeczy które są inspiracją dla wielu.
Dziękuje :) Pozdrawiam :)
Nice build, my only critique on this project is the use of all thread for the 4 pivoting pins. Very nice craftsmanship!
*Watching it over and over again still feels good, thank you channel*
I like these build videos that rapid speed the simple stuff. Always interesting. The workmanship is professional.
Never seen this particular interesting design for a lift table. The frame is heavy duty for higher capacity, but I still rather go with a more traditional scissor design lift. Would like the table to lower closer to ground.
Suggestion: Mount a switched motor with a cam on it the operated the pump. Very nice build in many ways. Excellent workmanship.

Great build. I recommend an air over oil hydraulic system so you can use your compressor to raise it with how much time it takes. Then you are more likely to adjust it every time you should rather than bagging it and doing without due to how long it takes to raise.
Thank you :) that change to an air powered hydraulic cylinder, it will certainly speed up the lifting :)
That’s about as fast as the first stage of a typical 3 stage tranny jack. The ones for under a lift, not those horrid on your back things. Ick.
3 years ago I put a 20hp electric over hydraulic unit in my shop with ports at 2 different spots in the shop. (Could easily put more but haven’t had the need yet). One of the better upgrades I’ve made
Chris 279 20hp?! My goodness! What does that even run off of? Do you have an 80amp line or something??
Kaden McDonald 3 phase 60 amp. I had a 200 amp service when I bought my house, got 3 phase years ago for my Bridgeport. Got the motor for a steal second hand. Don’t need anywhere close to the power obviously but it was available
Ok I admit that was a lot better than i expected, happy i stayed till the end, thx mate
Brilliant solution especially for light ev battery removal and installation.
Those looked like some sweet welds. But please, use some sleeves, jeans, and boots. Melanoma is no joke. Thank you for sharing!
Depois de um excelente trabalho desse ganhou mais um de vários escritos.Muito obrigado por compartilhar seus conhecimentos.
Der Metaller hat's halt drauf von der Planung über die Fertigung zum perfektem Endergebnis. Einfach super gemacht. Hut ap.
Dude, that's sick! I'm so much stealing the concept.
thats what i need to build . for my wood shop an asembly table that can adjust to my needs. by the way is awesome table .saludos from tijuana mexico
Thank you :)
Greetings from Poland :)
매우 훌륭한 작업대 👍👍👍👍
멋진 작품입니다 👏👏👏👏👏
Spectacular, great design and perfect execution, congratulations.
keep making them and i'll buy them. nicely built.
Very impressive work. Well done and Im now liking this orange color
Nice,I found this video so relaxing to watch for some strange reason.Thank you.
Thank you 😁
Useful ideas and great work. I have an old heavy duty chair recliner motor and gear im thinking of doing a similar thing with. It can lift me up no probs so should be fine for mowers and small engines etc. I was wondering how to do a parallel lift but this has sent me off the right way. Nice project for me and good ideas (casters etc)

Cool Build. This Table really goes high.
This great! Video up to your usual high standards. Thanks for sharing.
Сколько смотрю канал, столько восхищаюсь такой работой! Ты большая умница 👍👍👍
2 раза пересмотрел. А УМНИЦУ не увидел !
Может не туда смотрел ?
Бестолковая конструкция. Петли на отрыв, большой рычаг изгибом. Диз однозначно...
@@peters6007 ты что тонну на верх ставить будешь, для мастерской классный вещь
@@peters6007 Согласен. Автор даже весь свой вес не осмелился на край повесить. Но диз ставить не стал, человек старался, разрабатывал конструкцию и видео вполне не плохо смонтировал.
Great engineering bud. Very impressive. Your welds look like you may have your polarity backwards in your mig. Welds look like they aren’t penetrating very well. But amazing job and keep up the good work bud!! Love the designs
Given that the hydraulic cylinder doesn't tilt much as you raise and lower the table, I would have tried finding some other size of cylinder or made some sort of extension so that it could be attached in a more vertical position throughout its range of motion rather than being tilted back. This would both 'be stronger in terms of the max load as well as for general stability of the table. I'd also find a different anchor point for the pedal spring vs the fitting- hydraulic fittings are pretty strong (they have to withstand the internal hydraulic pressure after all), but the directly coupled vibration from working the pedal could cause it to loosen over time and leak and it just plain doesn't look very good considering how well you built the rest of the table..
Thank you :) I was building this type of table for the first time, so for sure there will be some corrections that I will try to fix :)
Mantap boss inovasinya,saya suka sekali menonton di channel ini,...sukses selalu
Sensacional esse projeto, serviria como plataforma para cadeirantes com baixos percursos com valores muito reduzidos para quem não condições financeiras....parabéns!
Obrigado :)
Работа замечательная!)
Но вот функциональное применение так себе)
Хотя.... под каждые цели своя «игрушка»
Однозначно молоток!!!!👍😃
This is amazing brother it's actually inspirational... what's the total cost spend on this ??
NOW THAT'S SWEEETTT!!!!!!!
that project is very interesting, i think i would make one for my workshop, awesome man
Thank you 😁
Excellent build, I love it and I'm going to build one myself. I think the only thing I'll add is some sort of safety ratchet mechanism for just in case the hydraulics fail especially if there's something heavy and valuable on it like a motorbike.
Thank you :)
Dont built it to put heavy load on it this one wil bend to one side look to a sky worker with sissors under need them it wil be more stable
I come from Vietnam hello. You share many beautiful and useful products. I would like to have a specific drawing of the lift table. Thank you ☕👍
Wish I had your skills.amazing project! I'm wanting to build a primitive lift table for lawnmower repair.
This would be great for a expresso machine, as in a high dollar prosumer or commercial machine because if you were to elevate the machine then you could essentially fit any capacity liquid container under the brew head instead of small cups once you remove the drip tray from under the brew head.
I'm talking about machines that are north of 2000 dollars a unit. That way something like 32oz thermos or those counter top thermos you see at coffee shops could fit under the brew head.
Great for when you want to make say over 300 oz of express for snow removal crews in North Dakota for morale boosting when it's 30 below wind chill on a regular basis.
I'm not sure how this is the first time watching your stuff but this was an incredible build. Looks like it's been at least 3 years now. How has it worked for you? Amazing design work on this by the way.
Excelente............👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Gotta wear #5 green shades to watch your video!
Nice work really nice work I have a suggestion how about making an offset camshaft so you can use a cordless drill 2 pump up the hydraulic cylinder.
Thank you 😁 For sure it would speed up lifting, during the construction I was convinced that the cylinder placed at the end of the center of gravity would be faster but I was wrong
Very interesting approach, not using tne scissors set up...
Well done!
Thank you :)
حرفية وإتقان الله ينور عليك
Super nice build!! looks truly professional
Thank you :)
Very cool but it needs safety pins to set the height at different levels. Hydraulic cylinder and pumps can fail and the table will drop very fast!
Thank you :) I will try to improve it :)
Ad dc motor and car battery to hidraulic jigg and you get a simple and faster lift. Btw nice job✨️
Great build. Very enjoyable watch. Only thing I might change is air over hydraulics ram.
Thank you :)
Put a cam with a square hole broached in it just above the foot pedal thingy so you can drive it with an impact. Cam size doesn't need anything remotelly close to precise.
That's magic dude, great job. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you :)
Congratulations....!! You built a great table. I love it. Thanks for share. Greetings from Cochabamba, Bolivia.
Thank you :)
Nice work!!! Would be interesting if you can write down how much material you've used for all?
Absolutely love that table bravo😜😜👏👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Man I’d love to have a table like this! Great job 👌🏼👍🏼
Thank you :) You can build such a table, I publish construction videos so that you can build easier :)
Awesome work!
Awesome and inspiring project. Fantastic production.
My only serious beef is using all-thread for shafting. The load goes onto the thread crests deforming them and wearing all out of proportion to operating cycles. A better choice would be round bar stock. If you can't thread it for a nut, cross drill it for a pin.
Very complicade, and very spencive in mexico, hi !!!!! From mexico
Very nice. Darlington, South Carolina USA
Thank you :)
you got a deal on that paint huh ? :P another awesome fabrication! A-Team again :D
Great video. Looks like someones right leg is going to be "STRONG"
Sweet build
Thank you :)
Great video. But there is no safety if it fails. Also, the whole weight of whatever is on it and structure is on the 2 small plates that hole the jack in place.
Looks good though. 👍🏼
great piece of manufacturing - congratulations. I wonder if a pneumatic (air driven ram) might achieve the same effect. I have a disability so pneumatic are my preferred mechanism. Nothing wrong with your approach - it is great.
Thank you :) If I knew that it would be allowed to lift slowly, I would definitely install a pneumatically driven hydraulic cylinder. During construction, I thought that the position of the actuator at the end of the center of gravity would greatly speed up the lifting, I was wrong :(
Looks like a pretty heavy duty table all you got to do now is change the hydraulic to 1 that connect to the compressor
good work...👍👍😎😎
Looks great perhaps a shorter hose would be better along with some safety stops to secure the height without relying on the jack
Excelente mesa. una muy buena herramienta para trabajar. Lo Felicito Saludos desde Venezuela
build to perfection. every single detail. you're genius
Thank you :)
Great build. Consider linear actuator to hold height or stop points
Nicely done...clever solution to problems created by hand pump location and damn that's a lot of metal
Thank you :)

عمل رائع ومبدع بنفس الوقت مع التقنية في الاداء والتصميم
Muy Util para Enseñanza.Graciasolh
Awesome.....
Innovation+invention+intelligent works.....
😆😆😆
But i cannot sleep now....😊
Thank you 😁
Really nice build. This would be a welcome addition to any shop. Are plans available for purchase or did you design as you went?
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for sharing this great idea. I wonder if you can share some construction dimensions, cylinder specificstions
Excellent craftsmanship!
Thank you :)
Wow, that thing has RANGE! Does it go from your knees all the way up to your eyeballs? One thing you might want to add (besides AOH) is a hand pole for when your leg gets tired. Throw a 1" (25-30mm) conduit strap on the side and a screw through the angled part away from the foot pedal, facing up. When you drop a tube down the strap onto the screw, it will allow you to use your arm power. AOH is always more fun, though.
What a great channel, Subscribed!

Foot operated jack = Na, Na.
Tool operated jack = yah, yah.
*It's a cool design* but I would have to have the jack operated by a drill or air gun ( foot operated would be great for back up or if it was mobile and you didn't have a drill with you).
Es buena idea, pero físicamente está sometido a grandes esfuerzos de torción por la gran distancia de los ejes de giro de los largueros anaranjados entre la base apoyada en piso y la base apoyada en mesa...!!!
Good job 👌👌👌
@Workshop From Scratch Awesome Build Brother! You wouldn't happen to have a Cheat Sheet for that would you? Just like the Measurements and Angles. Would love to build that exact Table. Super Handy. I think the only thing I would do different is add Air over Hydraulic Jack.
Your Engineering was spot on!
Such a change of the lift will certainly improve lifting. I will put a link to the photo to the description of the film, there will be dimensions, if it comes to angles, everywhere are 90 degrees
Excellent work very good attention to details.
Thank you😁
Excelente idea y muy bien construida. Felicitaciones y gracias
Gracias :)
