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.
