What is it?  How do you use it?

Shot in the dark here..??

Maybe lifts stacks of shirts as you print them..??

Seems to use a foot pedal?

Either way looks cool...

it has wheels to be moved around.
two handles to push it and there seems to be a brake on one of them that releases the round thingy?
The round thingy though does not seem to turn the full 360 which is kinda baffling (little stop pegs only go about 3/4 turn).
the two thin white rods go up and down when the circular thing turns. Not sure they could handle a heavy load of shirts, and the cable seem to be too thin for it too.

So I am going with a flash stand. It would explain why the stop pegs don't go the full circle (limited travel needed) and the flash is not as heavy as tall stack of shirts. Everything is made out of metal so it can take the heat.

There is a string or something strung between the two rods that go up and down. In some strange way the thing looks like it might weave some how.

my guess the string you are talking about is actually four lines going to the pulleys on the bottom, then to the corners and finally to the pulleys on the top. When that string is wound on the round thing, the rods move up.

WOW, you guys are good!  It is for lifting shirts that are to be printed.  I have other pictures, if you are interested.  I made this last year.  I think it would be better to use a scissor lift in place of the dial we made.  It has a tray that fits in the middle.The foot peddle cranks the tray up.  You place it under the pallet, I have a pic at work, I'm home now.  You'll need 2 of them.  The shirts need to be folded on the tray to be able to "feed" them onto the pallet.  What can be done to load a shirt faster?  The machines already run faster than we can load.  Just a goofy idea I had.

...we have two of these, serves the same purpose....

...we used them today in fact, for two stacks of 600 tees each, although I bet we could load up 800-1000 depending on the shirt. Just print till it gets hard to reach, pump up the table a lil bit, and keep on truckin. I try to pick one up when they go on sale, they had it once for $89.99. In hindsight, I should have bought a bunch of them that day. Now, $160 is the cheapest I have seen them.

here are a couple of picks while in use.

This is a good idea!

What is the red tube for? And how do you load shirts from under the table?
