Depending on what you need to do with it and what you need to lift, there are a lot of cases being sold off these days that were used for the massive 36 inch crt based tv's that weighed a ton and had a lift built into the case. Might be something to look at

Depending on the heigth of travel required....I looked into a scissor lift table at Harbor freight. It had about a 24X30 table and the vertical travel was about 30"....operated by a hydraulic "jack". If I remember right, it was about $150. We were going to use it to "raise" a musician for a solo number in a musical. Ended up cutting the effect for some reason that I can't remember now.....
