    I built this table from a Carrier condensing unit. The top is 12ga galvanize I had broke-up at work. The only thing I had to buy was the wheels $30.00 at the metal scrap yard. I have built other tables too From McQuay & York air cooled condensers or condensing units. Once you strip out the condenser coil the frame work can be cut down, or used as is to make a very sturdy table. The fame work is generally 16ga or 14ga, and the manufacture has put all the engineering in it to make a sturdy box. All you have to do is rework that box a little.

    I made one out of an old Chrysler roof top unit from a church. I replaced the unit for them and redone some duct work too. I replaced 3 old with one new....technology huh. After I gutted the Chrysler unit, put a 3/8 steel top on it, the table weighed over 600 lbs. But it so more sturdy than a brick wall.
