Looks like a versatile table at a good price. Wrestling that 5/8" top though would be fun for one man.
Hello:
I'm looking for comments on those who have seen or used the Rhino Cart from Strong Hand Tools. I need something that is portable. The Miller ArcStation looked nice, but it was too tall and not as easy to tuck under a rack, as is possible with the Rhino Cart.
I have looked from time to time, and I'm a bit surprised there are very few reviews, and next to nothing on YouTube on the Rhino Cart. Someone must be using these tables...
Thank you.

Thanks, henry42. Do you mean: if you decide to flip it over and use the other side, or assembling the table?
I did see the video; it's the only one I've seen on the topic, yet it's done by Strong Hand, vs. someone 'independent' evaluating the table. Thank you for posting.

if you have an overhead crane or a gantry, then yes, you won't have an issue. I had to use a pipe suspended across two ladders and a block and tackle to flip my table and then set it down on the base. Yes, I did that myself but it's probably 1/4 the weight of that top. I'm guessing that a case of beer and a bunch of strong friends could work too.
I actually own this table. Bought it when they had a sale going on, was back ordered for a while. It is an awesome table, especially since you get all the fixtures with it. The casters on it are very high quality, just a light push will have it rolling very easily. Each corner also has threaded feet to level it and keep it from moving. Really happy with mine!
The lack of internet chatter and real world reviews of this cart has me hesitating.
I own one. Most used item in the shop, I love it. And yes, easy to move from spot to spot in the shop, i.e., across the cement floor. I am getting a couple of new shops built, one for wood and the other for forging/welding. I like it so much I am contemplating getting a second Rhino Cart.

I do not own a Rhino cart but here is a pic of it at Fabtech this year. It seems to be well built.
I do have a Miller Arcstation at work. I like the Miller but took off the welding screens and almost never use them. The Miller clamps work well on the X table, but I like the idea of al the holes on the Rhino. There have been a number of times I have been trying to clamp an item on the Miller table and the clamps dont quite fit or I need more clamps.
My home table is just a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" that I can tack to. I don't like to tack to the Miller just because I want to preserve the surface for a while.
Another minor point or problem with the Miller is the thin gauge tube they use for the uprights and vise post. I have bent the tube when I have been wrenching on the vise.

I got mine and assembled it today. Seems to be excellent quality. No missing hardware, every hole lined up and the thing is absolutely solid.
Be prepared for the weight when it is delivered. It comes in a wooden crate up on blocks and weighs about 500#. I picked it out of the freight truck with the loader/forks on my tractor. After it was assembled upside down, I ran straps around the top and lifted it with the loader. That allowed me to get the feet tilted down and then lowered it on to the casters.

That's correct. I have the Rhino
