I was planning on using the Force…just been practicing lifting my x-wing out of the swamp I made in my back yard.

Like this … ???

I know the GF is nifty looking and compact. But do we really think we can transport it on the regular? We’re talking mirror alignment within .001", cross rails, a freakin glass tube, some mystery internal liquid cooling method ( to which bubbles are BAD) vs. traffic, parking lots, elevator doors that won’t stay open, floor transitions, slippy fingers, and um… students.

I’m not actually worried just use common sense, I’m sure most of us here have dealt with things just as sensitive if not more so and a little common sense goes a long way

Perhaps one of those portable miter saw carts would work. Delta used to make a really good one. Here’s a DeWalt

Looks nice, and should hold the weight of the Glowforge and a nice looking slab of wood as a table top.

Permanently? Not a bad idea.

[jacobturner]

Yup, I am looking for a permanent storage that will fit in the back of my GMC Yukon, through all my office building doors/hallways, and into the hearts and minds of the town

That $650 hospital gurney has me itching to pull the trigger… going to try and get a fireman or EMT to let me play with one of theirs so I can see how realistic it is for one person to move such a thing in and out of a vehicle while encumbered.

@dan pretty sure there’s another crowd-funding startup opportunity here…

If you are really going to move it around, I’d look at a Magliner production cart.
A gurney isn’t going to fit in a lot of places, wheras a production cart is designed to fit on-location doorways, etc. … and you can fold it up.

Ha ha thats a cute video…well done except for the sound effects. Being a huge Star Wars geek…and someone who can still quote the first movie including the sound effects (First movie being the original now called a New Hope…when Han definitly shot first)
alot of the sounds were completely wrong for the scenes…

we have a couple from harbor freight that work like a champ.

500 lbs. Capacity Hydraulic Table Cart

[smcgathyfay]

Better yet, I think I’ll just use these guys to move my Glowforge.
What do you think fellow ladies…maybe we can share the cost and have them on call …lmao

[jacobturner]

Looks like with those I would need to remove the forge when I put things in my vehicle. Almost anything can cover that for me. I want the special snowflake that can have wheels and support on the forge at all times.

Knowing that I am capable of building such a thing helps let me be patient in shopping to see if it already exists at a price I like though

[elsman18]

Hey how did you get that picture of me!

The other option is to suggest this as a project for some of your students.

[Jules]

Uhhh yeah, I’m liking this idea…we’ll go with this option.

Pity the poor fellow on the right is too stoopid to figure out how to put on his shirt though…poor baby…

Like those jeans a lot though.

[soldiercoleman]

I own one of these. They are very heavy and I wouldn’t recommend transporting them in and out of a car. These are best suited for a level concrete shop floor. But yes, they will take the weight.

[ihermit2]

wait, how to I get my abs in the glowforge. I’m sure with the variable power I can engrave them to look like that right?

[chrisgray1313]

How about this…sorry if I messed it up.

New Viking Swivelift

[jacobturner]

Where did the water jug go? Did he throw it at the deer to kill it?

Hardcore man!

Could work. But I would be more inclined toward using ramps, since I will already have a wheeled cart. But ramps or this swivel thing can make a simple scissor lift like the Dewalt model viable, and come in cheaper than the hospital type auto-loader.

[paulw]

I’m probably willing to go for a two-step process: remove cart from car and open, then slide GF onto cart. But I think the cart will have to be custom, because some of the venues I’m thinking about are not surrounded by smooth ground. Maybe just keep some burly helpers on hand at all times.

[smcgathyfay]

I would have to get a truck for that…lol. Guess its not an option for me.
