Scuba Tank Cart

Attachment 1300Attachment 1301 I made this tank cart last year for lobster mini season. I can put 8 tanks in it and roll it almost anywhere. The frame work that holds the tanks is 1/2" conduit bent and brassed together, the deck is 1/8" aluminum diamond plate welded to 1 1/8" x 1/8" aluminum angle. The main frame 1"x 1 1/2" steel square tubing. The wheels are from HF and are mounted on 5/8" steel rod. Having the wheels under the deck allows them to turn sharply. This makes for easy manuvering on the dock or in the parking lot.If you have ever luged a dozen tanks back and forth, at the end of July in Florida, you know how handy this thing can be.
:cool:

I hate lugging my gear and single tank around, this would be an awesome tool. I would probably use wider tires on mine since Michigan doesn't always have smooth and level approaches to the water (shore diving) and sand would be quite tricky with the weight of a couple tanks on the narrow tires.

Great work BTW!!
