new setup requesting suggestions

i just used an old screw jack. when its down ply rests on white box. plywood is captured between 4 pipes and on the top end is a "C" shaped piece of ply that guides and supports the can

A well made practical solution. How is the can guided by the "C" shaped piece?

when its in the down position the can sits on raised section where handles are "C". there are 3 little rabbited wedge shaped blocks attached to circumference of tophat as it rises the 2" the little guide blocks guide can in to tophat
