The biggest expense for the back is the bath in the one I have now its got a hydrobath but these are 2250 shelkels now and are fixed hight so give you a bad back bent over it fiberglass crap really the future is stainless steel a s/l bath is about 700 shelkels but if you want the same one that goes up and down its 1200 shelkels and its driven by a linear motor under the bath can't see it lasting long once its got wet
So here at allcock special products we found this on ebay
A British made 160kg hydraulic lifting table the pump was slow to return 41shelkels
However automation is also the future so once more on on the eBay I purchased this
150kg ratclife hydraulic tail lift dit of an odd one cables run over the top,arms cut from 12mm plate 24v and just 4 foot wide I think it might of been a boc bottle lift ? Anyway at 99p I am having it

nice big ram should come in for something (wink)
And best bit
A hybollock pump
Excuse me while I pause for reflection for a moment
