Ideas for a welder cart.....

[tom-ky]

I would like to possibly put my Lincoln 225 and Hobart mig on a cart together. Possibly the 225 on a lower shelf and the mig on top. I thought it would take up less space and I would be able to moved it around to different plugs. Any suggestions?

I built one near identical to what you suggest. I'll grab a picture tomorrow. It has an AC225 on bottom and Lincoln 175 Mig on top.

Check out the YouTube link in my Sig, I just built a cart like you described.

Here's something I've spent a little time designing. I used 8" round tube to place the gas cylinders in (with 11 gauge material, the tubing would leave 1/4" of total room between the ID of the pipe and the OD of a "S" sized gas cylinder). Everything else is pretty basic. It's also missing the rear axle in this drawing, but I know it goes there.

As drawn, it's 34" Long by 22" Wide, and 33" High w/o casters. Scale it to your own needs, steal whatever elements you like, or build it exactly as drawn!

Hope it helps you some

(Also, feel free to give me feedback on the design, this is my first crack at it)

Here is mine. I built this 4 years ago and my skills have improved since. There is room for a cylinder behind the welders. I only run flux core on the wire welder.

The only real design regret I have is not putting the wheels directly in front and behind of the way it will be transported. It barely fits though a 36" doorway which is a concern in this shop. It is very stable though.

Here is a site with a good selection of carts. May give you some ideas.

Pretty sure this one of our fellow GJ members- ZTfab.

Something tells me he has put a lot of time and thought into welding cart design, might want to pull some inspiration from it?
