I am putting in a bulkhead (cellar entry) in the spring and remember all too well the steep stairs and associated problems that go along with one. Getting furnaces or even a freezer is a pain. So I want a lift. I priced some lift tables and got scared at the prices. I need a 42" X 56" floor to be able to go up about 8 feet and the new price was close to $10,000.00 !!!
So I am asking for ideas and or plans to build one. It can't be all that hard really. I am thinking a "screw" would do fine but most of the ones I priced were of the hydraulic type with 2 pistons. Any help would be greatly appreciated
