Just wanted to let the US folks know about a deal at Harbor Freight. Listed online at $259 but I paid $199 this afternoon. We don't need 1000 lb capacity but this is heavier construction than the some others that cost more and are only rated ~400 lb capacity.

I'll probably put a plywood top on the cart to help with securing stuff to it.

Brown,
This is a good deal. I would definatly pick one up for this price. I have two of the 400lb cap models. They work ok, but they will not hold a tank up overnight without loosing pressure (ie the legs must be braced to keep the table up). I paid almost more in shipping ($150) than the cost of the tables ($99 ea). This was before HF opened a store near me.

I also have a 700lb cap model which is more stable and sturdy. I would recommend the higher capacity model over the smaller cap models - they have larger wheels and are easier to move around as well. Definately put a plywood top on them and screw it down - the tops of the tables are quite slippery.

If you can pick this up at the store you would save on shipping.

HF also has some nice alum motorcycle ramps which work great for unloading the tanks from a pu or from the lift carts. Cost $129.

My table is a HF 700lbs cap it weights 300lbs,and was damage in shipping.The part that release the presure from the cyl. broke.I order a new
part and that took months.I almost made my own part.In the end they sent me the wrong link,so I had to change the broken one for another one in the line.This table was very hard to unload from my ZX3 I think it cost 300.00 but I'm not sure now. Dan.PS I wish I had 2 tables.
