Good thing it's small and lightweight so you can easily flip it over on your own.
No chance. Although I suspect 38mm steel 1.4x1 would be pretty expensive.
I will actually use it as a stand for shrink wrapping pallets for now.
Perhaps later on a base for a heavy press.
Even with the forklift I am a tad worried. My other bench was 500kg and that was scary.

Or you could use it as a foundation for a skyscraper or maybe a support stand for oil rig maintenance, maybe an axle stand for a mining truck.
Any idea of its original purpose? That must be capable of holding a hundred tons. I have a set of (rather large) 8t each axle stands and they look tiny compared to that beast.
Funnily enough I said to my brother it would make a great Morrison shelter for the Empire state building!
It came from a foundry casting church bells.

With some proper slings it shouldn't be too bad to do it in two stages. Lift onto its side, then onto its feet.
Be careful not to bump your forklift into it, you don't want to damage the forklift!

At a place i worked we had a Morrison Shelter as a workbench, was fantastic, until the idiot boss scrapped it.
Interesting. I wonder what was attached to the top with those bolt holes.
Wouldn’t have minded a nosey at the place it came from.
And me.
Bought it on EBay and they kindly palletised it for me.
Keep your eyes open on Ebay - Buy it now better than auction. I had a lovely 240x120 table with a 20mm top for about £250. It weighs about 500kg.
Select buyer to collect - then ask them to palletise it. With big table ask them to flip it upside down. More stable for shipping.

I'd love to but i don't have the space or means to unload it. I do need a proper workbench but will have to build what i want. Garage here is very small and i'm not planning to stay past this year.
20mm top would be nice! 10mm is expensive enough though.
