Bought a new Bobcat 250 and I need to figure out how to protect it and the leads while moving it around. I don't want to mount it on a trailer so that leaves me with few options. Most of the time the machine will live in the shop and be fork lifted into the truck bed or on an open trailer for travel to work sites.
I have a friend that built a skid that carries the welder along with two gas bottles for a torch. The skid has a lifting cross member on top and pockets for fork on the bottom. While I could copy that I rarely need the torch on a job and it would be more useful on the bottle dolly.
Right now I have the machine on a 4 wheel cart sitting in the shop. That cart has been useful in moving the machine around and into an out of the way place. I think whatever I make should also have caster wheels.
Anyone have a suggestion?
