These are where the corner bolts go thru , and the weight is at. Cut sections of square tube and welded it in there . .

Had to use a long nose cup to weld up in there on the sides ...

All the holes are for plug welds . Perfect job for the 211C Mig machine .

The powder coating took longer than expected but everything worked out fine. The pallets and crate components where built and cut while we where waiting for the painters.

Assembly took a couple of hours including securing to the pallets. The stacks of five are secured using nylon 1/2" flat webbing length wise and two 3/4" steel banding across.

Heavy cardboard edge protectors keep the finish looking nice.
These are the labels that are used per cart.

well it seems I finished in time. Turns out I ruptured my left bicep tendon yesterday morning at work. Looking like surgery is is my only option as I'm left handed and can't afford to lose permanent strength. I'll be down for a while nursing my wing back to heath.
No turning or burning for me...... :bs:

Great work as always Paco. Sorry to hear about your injury. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Mike.
 
Thanks Mike,
After the Ortho doc reviewed the MRI, he's now saying nine to eleven months of recovery after surgery.
