Wow This Rotary Table Is Heavy

I have a twelve inch table and use a hydraulic table to put it on and off. Works great for me.
 
Same difficulty with my Phase-2 12 inch rotary. I'm building a three level rolling cart (adjustable) to set it on as well as
for an 8 inch Kurt and other heavy stuff. I will be using a trolley and a 1/2 ton chain fall hoist to load and unload onto the
mill or set on rolling cart. I will post a photo or two as this build progresses.
 
Another vote the hydraulic lift table. I swap vises, index heads and everything else from the mill table to my shelving unit and use it to unload my truck too.
 
Well, using the hydraulic table worked fine. I will get some delrin sheet for the top of the tool chest. I tried the bolt in the chuck with a shop crane and it worked out perfect as well. Thanks for the ideas.
