Yet another welding cart.

[DavidR8]

I have a Primeweld TIG and Millermatic 140 MIG. When I bought the Primeweld I knew I had to do something different because my existing cart was too small for both.

I bought a used warehouse cart for $50 and proceeded to turn it into a cart that would fit both machines and two 110 cu ft tanks.

Here’s the original cart.


Here the close to final product.
I narrowed the shelves for 24” to 18” total width and built a 1x3” base from rectangular tube. I reused the fixed casters and bought a pair of swivelling casters.
The tank straps were a generous gift from another GJ member.
Total cost was $70.

Thanks very much. I’m quite happy with how it turned out. Still need some cable hangers and a drawer under the top shelf.

Not quite done but largely there.

I like The re use too. So much faster and cheaper than starting from scratch.

Thanks, I think it can be challenging to adapt but it worked out well for this purpose.

Nice job! I like that you left the mesh section intact behind the upper part of the bottles, that grid would be handy for hanging all sorts of things.

In truth, because I narrowed the shelves from 24" wide to 18" wide I also had to narrow the wire mesh. It was sheer dumb luck that it fit as nicely as it did.

David, how do you like your Prime Weld welder so far?
I have one myself and a Millermatic 210.
