Frame Table - Lateral-g Forums

I'm not a pro - but built one for my 356G project. It's a bolt together deal and when you pull the 2 upper or lower leg bolts - it folds flat for storage on the wall or against the wall. You can take it totally apart if you want to.

It has leveling casters on the 4 corners - with just levelers in the center posns. The casters are non-marr types so they don't tear up my epoxy floor but they are expensive - so I have an option for replacing them with a less expensive type and adding levelers in the lower hoop. If anyone is intersted I can post the measured drawings and materials listing.

PS, Make sure you set the lower rail above the height of your engine hoist so you can roll the hoist in/out.

Jim,

Those caster/leveling things are cool. Where did you get them?

Our table is 9/16" Plate steel with I-beam legs and it's HEAVY!! We don't move it around since it's in a dedicated work space. It is balanced though so when empty we place a floor jack under the tube in the center that you can see hanging down from the middle and 2 people can move it around easily....but this isn't an option with a car on it. Our table has to fit multiple needs so if building one for a single project your dimensions and features need to be considered to fit your build needs.

Not a great picture but it's all I had handy....
