Well, it's installed. I added a mechanical stop, but it's working great.
Now to the next project: rebuilding the engine on the 911.
Here's a video:

I think that might be some automated hyperlinking system the site uses. I didn't post a link to the table. But here's a seller's page on it:

Thanks. I'm still puzzled as to why a 5K lift table doesn't have any kind of stop, outside of the one for maintenance. It could be that there are some fundamental design differences. It could be that people rarely get underneath lift tables.
I wonder if it's harder on the table's hydraulic...
A typical auto lift has a ratcheting stop to bear the weight of a vehicle while it's being worked on. A hydraulic lift table with the same capacity will have things like OSHA electric toe guards to automatically stop lowering and a brass velocity fuse to maintain pressure in case of a failure...
