Other Ultimate Home Made Beach Cart/Shop Stand Picture Thread

[WAB]

I made a nice shop stand out of a hospital gurney. Fits through a regular doorway. Super strong, but only 2 of the wheels turn.
I made a shopping cart stand several years ago and sold it with a ski, can't find pics now.

go to local muffler shop, have them bend two pipes ( length will vary depending how high you want it), then weld some angle iron, some paint and casters, 2" pipe holds rollbar padding nicely.
I think I have a total of $40 invested in it.

I know a buddy that borrowed some shopping carts to get the casters off of them. They actually roll a ski nicely. Lol

How much are the carts?

Base cart$450.00 plus shipping . Cart with Winch and ODI grips $525.00 plus shipping. Shipping is between $90-$100 to the lower 48.
Built out 6061 T6 Aluminum with All stainless hardware. Wheels are rated at 300 lb each.

I bought this from another member. He built it to haul skis in his toy hauler, not very handy for working on skis though. Could use some goop in the tires or new tires that hold air better, but otherwise it cuts down on clutter.

Had all my skis out yesterday so I could clean my shop.

All I did was find some scrap 2x4s I had laying around and started putting them together.

About 50 bucks in parts and a couple hours of cutting welding and painting.

Thanks guys for all the ideas. I need to build a cart so it is easier to get this thing on and off the truck at home by myself. does anyone remember how far apart center to center the rails should be on a square nose? Also there was a picture with foam on the rails - Does it stay on without ripping if you slide the ski on? thank you.

 

[swapmeet]

I think SJ's are 12.75 or 13" on center for the main chines. You can measure and check.

I wouldn't use turf/ foam, its like brakes on the bottom of the hull. Carpet is a safe bet, and some folks use the teflon like bunk material, but its super slippery, so be careful.

 

[MCrider]

I've always done 12 on center.

Where are people sourcing tires from for their beach carts. I've only found the expensive poly ones so far ($80+ each).
