This is an interesting piece here.... it was actually part of the welder deal a few months back but it "didn't work" at sat in the corner until this weekend. While a storm had my welder unplugged from the wall, I decided to go ahead and look at this thing.
I did a little research on it. It's a Presto P18-20 and retails for $1148!!!!!! They sell used on equipment sites for $400. It weighs 300# but can lift and roll 1 TON. That's right.... 2,000# it's rated for...
It raises and lowers for positioning work...
It came with the Miller tig welder for $500....and the only thing wrong with it? The release pedal mechanism was stuck. It was pumping fine but it was going back down faster than you could pump it. I took it all apart, freed up the release pedal and it works like a new one (not that I would know exactly how a new one works.... I'd NEVER pay nearly $1,200 for this thing)
I just thought it was super cool and wanted to share!
