Good Morning Eddie

 

It’s a cheap flimsy bought cart.

 

The one I got from Princess Auto, kinda like your Harbor Freight is of great quality. I was surprise but how can you screw up on a welding cart?

 

Good morning.

Tractor Supply wagon.

 

A frame cage with a swivel boom that can attach to overhead hoist . edit : Telescoping Boom.

 

Crap....wrong picture. You can see the wagon in the lower part of the picture. I have thought about hanging it from an overhead but I don't weld enough to do something like that.

 

Think I am going to get this one. It can hold two small welders and plasma cutter with consumables storage

 

I'm working on an old slab that's seen better days and I have to roll it in and out of a storage container on dirt. Add that the people before me knocked off one of the front wheels I pretty much had to go with bigger tires. I think if I had half your talent I'd go for something better.

 

I might build one. Dang steel is so higher right now.

 

I do like the cart in the picture. I'd like to get the plasma mounted with the welder and have consumables handy like that. I just don't like dragging the cord, leads and airhose everywhere. That's where I got the idea of doing an overhead. Then everything would be up off the ground and not near as cluttered.

 

Would air filled tires not make it more unstable while being moved?

 

I dont know if they have small enough tires that would hold the weight...The cart tires Ive seen are usually solid for heavy stuff.

 

Ya same here, was just thinking it could get top heavy and tippy.

 

Thought you said tipsy...

 

That's after some bubba mug beers.

 

The wagon I have is wider than most so that adds to the stability. As long as the tires are up to pressure it does fine. I do have a couple small ratchet straps holding the welder in place.

 

Cut a few circles out of steel and bolt a bearing in the middle. Use a piece of 1” steel strap to make a hoop for a tread surface. Set the axle against the bottom of the frame and your wheels should be a little wider than the cart and strong enough to hold your truck.

 

Seen this at Harbor Freight, clean truck
