Gets pretty heavy with 4wheels with mounted tires. Make sure its screwed/bolted through the studs securely. The ones I have, have 8 big hex head screws per rack and I believe each rack support 375lbs.

I ordered 1 initially, and thinking I was missing some parts needed for assembly, I called the company and instead of shipping me the missing parts, they sent me a whole 2nd rack. So 2 for the price of 1 haha

Edit this one looks decent, is only 35bucks and hold 300lbs. Plus its fold-able. Depends what your time is worth but for that kind of money for me it was best to just buy rather than build.

i feel you on that one. my yard is beautiful but takes some time to get looking good. and finding reliable help is tough. ours is for sale as well. going to a smaller house flatter yard.

What is everyone using for fluid collection and drain buckets. I'm looking around at options to make oil service work easier on the lift. Just curious if there are ones I need to stay far away from.

Bout time to update this. These are a bit out date by a few weeks but heres the new home of SSB. Specs are 32x60 with a 650 sqft loft. Its 13ft walls and vaulted ceiling on the shop side and 10ft ceiling height under the loft which will be the CNC shop.

All wood framed and insulated with a 50k btu gas furnace for heat. The plan is to run a DIY minisplit in the loft for an office space when its too hot out or when I dont want to heat the whole shop. It should be done in about a month and house done in late feb to early march.



Grammy for scale


Floor plan.

The slab for the full shop is 3500psi fiber reinforced 6". I dont know how much gravel is under it but its like feet? It was a ton of gravel brought in for our property. Im loving the property layout though, so much space for it only being about 1.8acres. (Technically 1.5 but a 15ft moat around 3 sides gives us extra space to the road)

We have 400amp brought to the house then 200 run to the shop. So should have plenty of power to run another machine or two
