The question is - how high did your hydraulic table go ? I ask because some like the Harbor Freight have just one scissor and are only 3' high which requires a lot of crawling around to finally release the engine & trans mounts before you drop the engine+trans.
Some double-scissor lift carts rise to 6 feet(Vestil) - which means you can do everything standing up straight.
A compromise is the Roughneck XT sold by Northern Tool- at 54" . I would have purchased one but there are no Northern Tool Stores on the West coast and shipping is $172 to Los Angeles !
others go up 62"
