When we were talking a 4x8 fiber laser I assumed we’d need something like a crane to help load, but that got back-burnered when the plan scaled back.
I was looking at magswitch lifting things for the laser; it didn’t occur to me to look at vacuum lifters. it’s a neat idea for sure and it’d work on aluminum too
I have been low key designing a cart that is truck height . It would pivot so I could get it through doors. I would then make the load horizontal to load onto the laser
Izzy’s vacuum lift looks interesting, although I wonder if Asmbly’s ceiling is too high to make it usable. I have the Rockler panel cart Joe listed and it works very well for 4x8 plywood sheets. I imagine metal sheets are considerably heavier than plywood, so I would double check load capacity.
