Those are an option, but what I'm looking at is something more like this, that will allow it to still sit on the factory frame, unless it's being moved https://www.amazon.com/Bora-Workbench-4-Caster-Non-marking-PM-950/dp/B08G3RYGMQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I like this idea, but I'm not quite sure how I'd add the pockets, and I don't have a pallet jack, plus a lot of the time I may just want to rotate it 90 degrees or something, not necessarily move it to a different area of the shop.

When we moved it, it took 2 of us pushing on the top to get it to start to tip (we laid it down flat to move it) and it's pretty much rock solid when in place. I don't think this would be much concern with the casters as far "out" as possible on the base. It has quite a bit of weight down low...

I have an old Nugier H40 (40 ton) press that is a bear to move. When I moved from my old garage into new, it took me, my brother and my brother's teenage son to deal with it. Nugier's sheet says shipping weight is 622lb. We kind of just shoved it into a spot in the garage without much...

Maybe this is a dumb question, but when I purchased my previous garage, I got lots of equipment with it, as the previous owner didn't want to move a bunch of stuff. One of those things was an Ammco 1350 Brake Parts Washer. This is a lightweight plastic contraption on wheels, and from reading...

Yeah the ALI is a must, I know there are some decent quality non-ALI lifts, my previous Eagle was one, but I always wanted a better one, plus my kids are getting to be the age to start helping with projects.

This is interesting. I've had 2 houses built in 1973 with whatever breaker box they used then, and not had any trouble buying breakers from Lowe's. I just assumed breakers were a universal format! Will have to ask.

Thanks for the thoughts, see comments in insert. - All quotes are 2" closed cell. What concrete do I want to cover? The only concrete I have is the slab.. But maybe I'm missing something. -The units I'm looking at are 19k heat per unit. I also have a 50k kerosene heater that I can use if it...

Yes, insulation is definitely on the list before HVAC.

I see this thread's a little more than a month old, not sure if OP ever resolved your question, but I built a 50x40 a couple years ago. I did doors on the 50' side and did 4 9x9 and one 6x6 The 6x6 is useful for my 2 motorcycles, but I could also fit the MG through it. 50' was not enough to do...

My old garage door openers (probably from the 90's) would randomly open... Happened a few times while we were out of state, my ADT camera would alert me of motion in the garage and I'd check and see a door open, then panic and try to find a local friend to go by and close it for me. I replaced...

Little over 11 years ago I bought a stand alone garage... about a month before my first son was born https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/my-new-garage.224723/ It was great to have the space, and equipment, but being off-site really limited how much I could use it, very hard to just go...

Yeah, Challenger also has the VLE10 that's competitive with the Forward price wise. This gets into the import vs US, and "premium" vs "economy" grade stuff. Not that the Forward/VLE are cheap, or low quality, I'm sure both would be just fine for my personal hobby use, but I'm looking at it as...

Well CL10AV3 is what my quote is, but dealer said $640 to add the pendant controls. Yes, my previous lift had the lock cable on each column which was kind of annoying. Not a huge deal but would be nice. Yeah, Mohawk is about twice as expensive.. Quote I got in 2023 was $14,000 not including...

Are the lift controls on both arms normal, or do you have the pendant controls?
