I know a fellow who has a palate jack that will go up to the tail gate of a pickup truck. Comes in handy for unloading something and moving around the shop then lifting it up to his steel work table.

Good find. Rework it a bit with a larger base footprint and make a ~4'x6' top surface out of two layers of 3/4" birch ply topped with laminate and edged with oak. Makes a very good all around work table for the shop that you can adjust to the optimum height for the project you're working on. I made a similar work table from a 1,000# cap power adjustable height frame I found surplus for $50.
Okay, assuming you bought it, how much did you pay?

I paid $75 for mine. I think that it has plenty of table space as of now, approximately 24x48 inches. I will put my rotary table on it.
$75. It has two cranking speeds. 2x4 ft. table.

I wouldn't waste a good unit like that on it's intended purpose. I keep my rotary table on a couple 2x4s so I can grab it with the forklift or the engine hoist (whichever is closer) when I need to load it on the Bridgeport. That base would be much better as a work table.
Wow..those sucka's aren't inexpensive. I read further down you got it for $75. Nice buy. Dave
Sometimes I hate you :) Nice score, you suck.
