There are any number of systems which can hoist the plate (I use a 1/2 ton chain hoist on ceiling hook), ....but why then move a swinging plate??? After the plate is clear of the case, I simply roll the case out from under and slide sawhorses, etc. under. Then all I have to do is lower the plate. No danger of plate hitting anything else than floor or sawhorse. Zero expense for moving hardware.
