High Lift Pallet Jack or Scissor Table?
When it comes to lifting heavy stuff higher or lowering it down what do you use?
I have two needs for either one of these:
I am including some links but the brand/cost isn't what I'm trying to research at this point, I'm more interested in usefulness. https://www.mrdockplate.ca/product/manual-lift-table/ https://www.mrdockplate.ca/product/p...-lbs-capacity/ Opinions and experiences please.

Once the lift is above a few inches it’s stationary, just for raising a pallet for loading and unloading! I have a lift table, it comes in handy for loading and unloading things from a pickup or a workbench, definitely money well spent!

I'm really conflicted with the minimum lift height of the tables. If I could lift something by hand 15" to get it on the table I could probably lift it into the back of a truck/van.
Perhaps I should have mentioned that I have a 2-ton engine crane which can lift really high: https://sunextools.com/products/2-ton-engine-crane/ I have a feeling I'm going to try the pallet jack. Using it outside will more than likely require a few sheets of good plywood too.

I have gone a different direction for the time being:
https://www.proeagle.com/collections...el-jack-kratos This also resolves the difficulty of lifting my van by the frame due to the ground effects kit it has on it. I can mount a transmission jack plate to it to get the generator down off the van. It won't be stable but I can make it work for the one job. https://www.princessauto.com/en/deta...ck/A-p8667891e

Have you looked at pedestrian stackers? not quite sure if they would fit your needs but better than the high lift pallet jack imo.

I nearly killed (well, maybe just seriously injured) myself with one of those adapters. The real disadvantage is that there is a single pivot point where it attaches to the jack. Unless the trans is perfectly balanced, it's going to want to rotate and roll. Maybe not so much of a problem with a lighter trans, but as they get heavier the danger increases exponentially.

Suggest you look at Northern Tool's 1000lb cap ultra low profile lift table/cart. It has a 36" x 24" flat platform that goes flat to the floor and raises up to 40" high via a foot pedal hydr pump. It has 5" dia & 3" dia polyurethane casters for mobility on hard surfaces. Part # 25621-2053. Currently on sale for $659 plus shpg. Not cheap, but neither is back or hernia surgery. I have no connection to Northern, just trying to provide info to a fellow metalshaper.
