Tool trolley

Thrown out. Rubbermaid FG331600OWHT Food Prep Cart & some perforated aluminium baking trays.

~§~

Converted to a tool trolley (crash cart). Better than any other OEM tooling cart I’ve ever seen. It won’t rust.

~§~

Added some heavy duty handles (made from recycled aluminium scaffold poles). The extruded aluminium channel sections were recycled from a luton van.

~§~

Fasteners are stainless steel self tapers / bolts & aluminium pop rivets

~§~

I put a floor in it for large items.

~§~

Fabricated some drawers for it. They can slide right out but are otherwise retained by the runner design.

~§~

Different runner heights make it extremely adaptable.

~§~

Its best asset is it can live outside. Other benefits; It won’t hold liquids (rain, oils, etc.). I can leave it empty, load it up with tools and work on my vehicles with a place to organise stuff I take off (airfilters, cam covers, trims, fasteners, etc.)

~§~

~§~

Specs:
The cart holds up to 175 pounds.

All casters are 5-inch non-marking, swivel-plate designed. Two locking wheels and two non-locking wheels make it easy to manoeuvre

Product Dimensions: 36"h x 36"l x 23"w
