Power Lifting - Help
 
As I'm still waiting for MRI results to determine if I have a meniscus tear in my R knee, (undoubtedly brought on from traipsing the countryside buying and lifting heavy sewing machines), I have been looking for a lightweight dollies with a hydraulic lift. Does such a thing exist? I don't need to lift 500 pounds, I need to lift 50-70 pounds. If it does not exist, why not? Somebody needs to manufacture these, quilters would buy them.

Here is a maybe possibility? There's lots on google but it will take some sifting through.

When I saw Power Lifting I thought you were talking about weight lifting!!!!! Haha.

Something like this? http://www.amazon.com/Genie-LL-Porta.../dp/B004QTPJIE

But maybe a little smaller in size and price?

Thanks for the suggestions! Yes, dnorton, smaller in both price and size.

The problem with most dollies is that they weigh more than our sewing machines. LoL

i know what I want just cant find it. Oh well

Me too-Wrong board But a couple yrs ago Harbor Freight had a little hydraulic lift back with the engine hoist area and it was around $30 and it would fit in a Motorcycle side bag-it had wheels-- but you would need to adapt a board to sit a machine on it also had a handle on it. Check their online catalog

It is catalogs that target manufacturing plants and personnel that have items like this. I don't know the names of any in particular, but you could find them online.

I've thought of getting something similar, myself.
