we have many tables at work, every time there is a project or such we ship one to the job site. of these tables some are great and others are junk. A couple have so much stuff there is no room to work. but here are a couple neat items on them
-all have cross bars close to the floor so they be jacked up and moved with a pallet jack, or fork lift. and tied down for trailers for moving
-on the feet there are screws that allow you to level the table and get rid of any wobble
- an angle iron gutter around the perimeter that drains into a bucket for tables that we work on oily parts with
-a swing out grate type cutting table (swings under table when not in use
- tapped holes for adding clamps and such
- a angle iron edge that lets you set in pipe or round items
- two pieces of steel set 90 degrees apart for setting fab
-on thick plate we have metal dog holes for holding down work
- 2 inch receiver pockets for accesories
-outlets and lights attached by pipe tapped into the top
- a quick disconnect for the welder bolted to the table (tweco?)
- a reinforced bottom to stop warping from heat and welding, sounds silly but 1/2 inch plate will warp after heat and cooling several times
- a lower shelf off a leg that supports the vise ( it is nice to keep as much as possible off the top for fab work
- the lower shelf under the table made from expanded steel, this stops the build up of dust and dirt.
- if wheels are mounted use removable wheels, jack up the table and bolt or slide in place
- one table has a trailer axle and tongue, just jack up and mount tires, and away you go, but no lights
I have a small table, rolls through a door. made from 30 by 48 of 3/8 plate that has threaded legs and breaks down to be put in the truck
good luck
