Roll over jigs on wheels

Post by cadetchris »

I’ve got a roll over jig that’s in the style of the Mr Grumpy ones, but it’s not made by him.
Anyway, I am going to roll over Alice so I can sort her out and I would love to do it in the garage, but I fear that it’s not wide enough. As I don’t have the luxury of have a drive way (rented garage) I cannot set the thing up outside.
So, do people think it might be possible to affix wheels to the jig or mount it on something like a wheeled board, so I can wheel the whole thing in and out of the garage without having to set up and dismantle the jig every time I need to weld?

Fitting wheels should be possible. You can get industrial grade castors from Machine Mart or used ones from scrap hospital trolleys and the like. I made an engine trolley from angle iron and old hospital wheels.

Main points to consider are the weight capacity and also diameter of the wheels depending on how rough your ground is.
