Lifting Pinball

[millsy]

Its great we have a large range of different Rotisseries to pick from through the forum,what about devices to lift a machine ?,I put wheels on the back legs - no problem moving it on a flat surface but at the moment I use a small trolley jack with 3 - 2x4 pieces of wood to get the lift height,problem is it is quite unstable. Too heavy for my wife to get on the other end.  .I realise there is a lift jack available -are these available in Aust.? Too pricey from US,
What technique does every one else use ?

Have a look at this:

That is what I use. I think he sells a 300Kg one sometimes which is a bit cheaper. Got mine for $169 a couple of years ago.

Yeah, that looks good - once I have a few pins I might look at getting one of these. Not worth it right now, I'll stick with the friend for the moment.

I know a few of the guys have a similar unit and seem happy with them.

I have one from the 70's that was used to move the machines around. It's hydraulic and is as good as new.

I think Gamemasters (Felix) might still have some newer models. Send him a PM.

Is it the same one on their website?

The gamemasters lifter has changed a little from the web site photo.
It does not have the rounded bent cornered lifting frame.
Frame is now a square cornered weldment.

I bought one just before christmas and highly recommend it and the service from gamemasters.

I get two friends over then argue which end is the heaviest - pussies  while I co-ordinate and supply inspiration

Try doing that with a Bally Bingo 

You will be coordinating an ambulance !

Anyone used one of these ?
As I mainly need to lift machine to remove legs,thought this may be useful as it is in my budget.
Lifts up to 680kg -Lift height 100mm when down 420mm when fully raised.
Any Thoughts ?

I spotted these on ebay a while back look like a good idea and dont take up as much space at the trolley thing?

[markc]

seen  those   but still like the ones we have

much easier  well for me it is
we have 4 of them in the factory

tim is always hiding one ..............

[millsy]

Was it this one http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=220362221741
$425 + freight    - stopped looking as soon as it went past $200
The one im looking at is $160 + freight, sounds quite reasonable looking at it.

Hi All,

We make and sell Pinball Trolleys, the price is $480 each (includes GST) but
for Aussie Pinball members we will sell them for $420 (Includes GST)

Hopefully soon we will have a "Sponsors" area for us where we will correctly
advertise the product and put up pictures.

If you want to see it now, although its not a very good picture you can go to
www.gamemasters.com.au and look under the "other Products" tab.

Best regards.

Felix
