Hi Jatt, as Darren pointed out , the wheels are the weak spot in most gantrys of this design...I would go for an all steel wheel with roller bearings built in...not that much more in price really...I have witnessed the results of using the cheaper plastic or nylon based wheels and believe me you do not want to go there. All the best for now, John. |

Here is where I am up to with it. Used 16 mm HT bolts to attach the I beam to the top. Will be adding a removable stay between the base of the legs. Probably will be situated between the actual casters. A paint job is definetely on the "to do list". Will have to wait until I have my next spray job tho. Much easier to set up the booth and do all paint jobs in waiting in one hit. |

here is the latest in my current project. Made a table that acts like a rotisserie. The reason will be more apparent when I show some fotos of what I make. There is another trailer in the yard to deck out, so the wait wont be too long. |
| jatt:
Being able to turn over formply sheets easily by myself is a real bonus. Once I am finished its simply a matter of pushing a trailer part way underneith the table, releasing the clamps and manouvering the sheet into place. Easy even for a weed like me. |
