Method and apparatus for lifting and removing substrate, such as a cut section from an underlying concrete slab. A plate assembly has a planar support plate and a u-shaped support bracket extending therefrom. The support plate is placed onto the section to be removed. The support bracket has adjoining first, second and third web portions to define an interior channel above the support plate. First and second apertures extend through the support plate on opposing sides of the support bracket and are used to secure the support plate to the cut section using attachment mechanisms such as anchor bolts. A lifting mechanism such as a fork lift inserts a fork through the interior channel to lift the plate assembly and cut section. The interior channel may be contoured to facilitate centering of the fork during lifting and movement of the plate assembly and the cut section.

Apparatus and method for temporarily supporting metal framing members during construction of a metal frame structure. A spacer tool has a main body portion with an outer tube and a first support plate at one end, and an extendable portion with an inner tube and a second support plate at an opposing end. The inner tube is slidably retractable and extendable within the outer tube to establish an overall separation distance between the first and second support plates via a locking assembly. Each of the first and second support plates includes at least one magnet to enable the support plates to be magnetically secured to each of the adjacent metal framing members during installation thereof. For example, a first metal stud can be secured, and the spacer tool can be used to position and support a second metal stud for installation at the desired spacing from the first stud.

A drop table can employ a number of lifting columns respectively arranged with a nut and traveler each positioned on a rotating core with the nut separated from the traveler by a nut gap. The nut gap may be measured with a first sensor positioned within the nut and the first sensor detecting a nut gap distance with a first sensing feature. The first sensor can be changed to a second sensor that detects the nut gap distance with a second sensing feature that is different than the first sensing feature.

A drop table can provide optimized lifting operations by employing motor feedback to generate and adapt a lifting strategy that controls lifting parameters. A lifting module may be connected to a first motor and consist of a lifting controller. The first motor can be mechanically coupled to a first lifting column by a first transmission and to a second lifting column by a second transmission. A service component can be lowered with the first and second lifting columns by activating the first motor that provides motor feedback. A lifting strategy can be generated in response to the motor feedback and subsequently executed to move the service component to a servicing position.
