Rolling tire racks

[buckshot]

If anyone is interested in building something like these....I can share the specs or possibly build for you if you're within a few hours of me.

The runners the tires sit on are turned to 45 deg. They are 7" apart from the center. Each outer runner is 1 1/2" from the end of the 22" pieces. If more info is needed or you're not quite sure what the dimensions are depicting please let me know. The length can be whatever you desire. The top row is centered to hold 4 LF. This particular rack is built to hold 8 sets of 3 and is 61 1/4" tall overall without tires on the top row. It fits in a 24"x32" footprint on the floor,ideal for small trailers and less shop space taken up.

Looks Good .
AS Stated the lefts will fall through, if not built a little narrower , Mine did any way .

Could you pm the measurements on the rack on the left in the original post...


Thanks Jonathan

It looks simply narrower . 30-32 wide .
Set you up 2 rights and a lft rear or 4 left fronts add in a bit for clearance .

Those are the measurements for both racks. one is for sets of 3 the other is for sets of 4. You just adjust for length. 30" for 3 and 38" for sets of 4

Yeah,the LF won't fall through on these. The spacing on our rolling racks and wall mounts is the same and we don't have that issue with either

What size tubing did you use please?

1" for the ends and 3/4" for the runners where the tires sit. The runners are welded in at 45 degrees.

If anyone is looking for square tubing in Central PA area to build these style racks or what ever I have discounted pricing on 2 different sized square tubing if you're not particular , I have 7/8 square 20ga x24' lengths for $13.00 ea or 1-1/4 14ga x24' lengths for $25.00 ea ...all prime clean material. PM me if you need more info

and for the wall thickness?

16 ga on both. Anything longer than 60" with no middle support I would probably use 11 ga on the 3/4"

Thank you!

I think you'll have a very hard time finding 11ga tube in 3/4" ( actually I dont believe its available)

My local metal supply has it. Last rack I built they mistakenly brought it out instead of the 16ga I normally use. I realized it wasn't the correct thickness as soon as I picked it up.
