I own a small metal fabrication/welding shop. I bought this specifically to lift 4x4 and 4x8 sheets of steel for my cnc plasma table. It performed flawlessly. This tool paid for itself on the first use. I will be purchasing again.
Machined the base on mine to pick up 3/8" thick, 41" diameter tank ends. Also picking up 1/2" thick, 8"dia. X 10' long steel pipe with no problems. I'm happy with the purchase!
