Dream Garage: Pneumatic-Lifting Table

April 13, 2016 By Naseem Muaddi

Auto Upholstery - The Hog Ring - Rexel Pneumatic Lifting Table

This is the first in a new series of articles titled “Dream Garage,” where we’ll showcase badass tools and equipment that every auto trimmer would love to own.

To kick off the series, check out the Rexel ST-3/K pneumatic-lifting table. It’s the ultimate workstation and back saver. With a height-positioning system that enables the table to rise from 12.5″ to 50″, you’ll never have to strain to lift another bench seat again.

The ST-3/K also features a steel frame and 78.74″ x 35.43″ tabletop. Together, it can handle a maximum payload of 352.74 lbs — which covers just about any project, from a 1960s Cadillac bench to the heaviest modern bucket seat.

Check out the ST-3/K in action:

Other cool features include a foot pedal on both sides of the table for easy use, drawer for tools or removed seat components, connection outputs for air tools, and a safety feature that prevents the table from dropping if it’s ever accidentally cut off from its power supply.

With this table in your shop you’ll never tweak your back again carrying a heavy and awkwardly shaped seat. Simply unbolt the seat from the car, wheel it over to your Rexel table on a hand truck and raise and lower as you please.

Of course, such convenience doesn’t come cheap. The Rexel ST-3/K pneumatic-lifting table runs about $3,400, which is why it’s in our “Dream Garage.”

To learn more about the ST-3/K, as well as other cool pneumatic tables by Rexel, visit Rexl.com.pl. While there, check out the ST-3/OB, which features a tabletop that rotates 360 degrees! If you’re interested in purchasing a Rexel table visit SewnProducts.com.

    Just a thought, but something very similar to this can be made using an old hospital bed. I am hoping to do this with one that I have been given as soon as I get a chance to pick it up. Will make getting bench seats and the like much easier to get onto the bench in my shop.
    I plan on giving mine a steel top so it doubles as a welding table, figure the adjustable height will come in handy there too.

      That’s a really cool idea. When you build it, please take photos of the process. Maybe we can feature it on The Hog Ring!

    I bought a foot operated lift on wheels from Northern tool for $8O. I can lift car seats, sofas and chairs up to my work table and just slide them off. They are on wheels so you can bring it right over to the car or truck and just tilt them in and out.

      I’m with you Peter. I bought my Northern Tools lift table years ago and just added a larger table on top big enough for truck seats. I roll it right up to the door sill of the car and slide those heavy electric seats right onto the table. then roll it back to my work station and pump it up to working height. Sure cheaper than the $3500 mentioned .
