rejracer Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I had to get a welding cart setup for my welder and was not pleased with what miller offered for the price. I went to my local Airgas and they happened to be closed, so I hit home depot, no luck, and thought I would try Harbor Freight. I was looking for something that I could store a least 2 bottles, spool gun, helmet and other gear. this is what I ended up with, partly because it was cheap, and also that it could store other "stuff" holds extra wire spools, spool gun, helmet, gloves, brushes and other essentials. pull the bottles from the top. guage visibility is not the best, but still workable. Tight fit. Cant read the settings very well, *ahem* that's why I bought the auto set model! I actually bought a 3 shelf unit, and may add the third shelf raised above the top shelf now. it will be shortened down to allow the bottles to be pulled in and out from the top. I have bought chain to hold the bottles in place, but have not installed it yet. I think I paid 42.00 for the cart after tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Purple240zt Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Not me, I bought the harbor freight one. Not too bad. Seems kinda tippy though. Ill see after I get a bottle on there. Nice work, I like that cart better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nismopick Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Indeed... I like that shelf cart too. I got mine for free from the guy I bought the welder from ( since we're all "showing off" our carts ): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyvette Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=125130&highlight=swivel With about 1200lb weight to deal with, for a commercial TIG, welder ,that I got a deal on, and tanks for shield gas,plus the liquid cooled torch, , long electric feed cables coolant pumps, etc., building a custom cart was my only reasonable finacial option, but a custom cart has the advantage you can set it up exactly the way you want too!

mrandrei Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I use my homemade welding cart from Harbor Freight, it's a service cart which I modified. It's huge at 24x36, but it can hold my mig, grinders, brush, and all the other equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I have the blue welding cart from harbor freight, max weight is 100 pounds which I did not realize until I came home with a 125lb tank LOL. Time to do some reinforcing. I should have built one, but oh well. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdmz Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 My cart is similar to yours. I got it free from work but I did have to put new casters on it. My tank is taller than yours so I cut a hole in the top shelf and set the tank through the hole. No problems with the tank tipping over. I sliced a piece of fuel line and put on the edge of the hole to cussion the tank. I put my welder on top and use the bottom for storage.
