| Newb has a question about a way to lift a bookcase
Hi! I just found and joined this site yesterday. It looks really fascinating!
I am putting a bookcase in the very rear of it. The case will be 50" wide by 18" deep by 18" tall. I need to be able to raise it 18" when I need something from it - it is positioned directly behind the last seat and there is no way to access it when it is on the floor. How can I do this? The case will weigh about 100 pounds when it is fully loaded.
My first idea was to use an electric car jack but they only raise about 10". I know that a linear actuator would be the ideal thing to get by they are about $120 each, not including the hardware to make them go. I thought about an air shock but I don't know how far they will extend.
Any ideas? |
