Help: heavy duty cart from aluminum extrusion
I want to make a jobsite cart that can hold up to 1,000 lbs. Definitely an overbuild, but better over than under. I know aluminum extrusions can be amazing for their modular abilities and that’s also something I’m going for. My current setup is a (now sagging) store bought plastic cart that I take apart whenever I need to go up/down floors of the site I’m on (I work in construction) and the LOAD it up with all my stuff, which can be a couple hundred pounds of tools. On top of that, I sometimes use the cart at the same time for carrying materials around. I know 8020 would do the trick, but the smaller sizes are obviously more affordable. Does anyone have thoughts on 4040 or less? submitted by /u/Significant_Theme_90 [link] [comments]
