Finally finished a job I started in March

[fizzy]

Well almost. Rain stopped play before I could bolt on the casters but the hardest part is done.
I wonder if my supports are strong enough
Thing is flipping heavy. About 1200kg.
Suprisingly my bolt holes under the feet were spot on. Amazed!

 

[snoozer]

It's the Castors I'm more concerned about

 

[fizzy]

Oh they are suitably hefty
Weigh about 10 to 15kg each.

I hope two have brakes. Otherwise it will move when you try to fold anything

I am going to fit screw down jacks but until then it will have wooden blocks under it - once I fit the casters.
Just wish I had a box pan folder but happy with my bargain anyway.

Mind you with that counterweight there is no effort at all in bending the stuff I want - it literally needs finger pressure - perhaps when you have an 8' sheet on there it will be a different story.

This style of wheel chock is quite good:

You’ll be surprised in the inertia, it will walk.

Oh no doubt. Only 1 caster has a brake so definitely needs chocks or feet. No way do I want that monster moving and toppling.

Nice idea and I have just the thing. Chocks to hold barrels on pallets. Just cut them to length and a cross piece.

I have some similar but made from box section and flat welded together to place under wheels when i have machines in my van, also have one with angle on top for gas bottles to stop them rolling about. Use ratchet straps as well.
