Tank stand - One idea

Post by Robert E Morey »

Hi all,
Thought I might post a couple pix of some simple wooden tank stands I made recently. They sure are back savers and make moving tanks around in garage easier. They are basically a bench, which use a small inexpensive 1000lb furniture dolly as the wheels. The bench part lifts off the dolly which can be used for other purposes (like moving furniture). I still use the hydraulic lift table for moving the tanks into vehicles. But these are nice for storage. I've used simple pine, but plywood could also be used. There is a small shelf below the main deck for parts, radios etc. Someday I will get around to paint them.
