Custom Shovel Rack Basket Fabrication
What the customer needed
A customer needed custom shovel rack baskets built to mount onto the existing 2 by 3 inch rectangular tubing of their lumber racks.
What we did
We fabricated two baskets in the shop from 2 by 1/4 inch flat bar, 1/8 inch angle iron and 1/8 inch expanded steel, welded with 0.045 inch Innershield flux core wire. The build used two 4 by 8 foot sheets of expanded steel, about 40 feet of angle iron and about 6 feet of flat bar.
What made it tricky
The baskets had to fit racks that were already in service, so they were built to the real equipment rather than a drawing, with accurate fit-up throughout.
The result
Two custom storage baskets, finished and ready to mount on the customer's racks.
