Rolling chassis stands - where from?
lsdweb - 9/5/08 at 09:34 AM

I need to buy some rolling chassis stands like the ones below but can't seem to find any in the UK. nybody know where I cn get some from? My welding is rubbish btw so I can't make any!




I've seen these on ebay but they're in the States and postage will be silly.

You can make them.

Even if you cant weld im sure you could make some that bolt together!

make some of those get the castors from B & Q or simalar bolt them if you cant weld that well as tegwin says

And if you can't weld and you can't bolt them together then just make them out of wood and screw them together...

I'd vote for making your own either from metal or 2x4's

Cheap trestles start at £29 from Screwfix and I now have my wheeled chassis in dollies from them too - so easy to push a seven about on.

I think I paid a fiver for trestles from B&Q (super buget ones). It fell of them mind.

Wood! Why didn't I think of that! I can 'do' wood!

I've got a length of 4" x 2" and my chop saw out already!

The eBay ones would have cost $144 for posting!

i brought two platforms from wickes £20 each but brilliant for day to day jobs and work even after my build is complete http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/170000

Done in wood! Cost me about £12 for the castors and a couple of quid for the timber. They're ugly but do the job just right!
