You can either order through your nearest dealer (if within reason for you to go pick up) or order direct and we would need to ship it to you via freight truck.

P.J.S.

getting warmer that is for sure...
I have sent a preliminary email to a local fab shop -- I think there is a better mousetrap for less $
we will see...

I am thinking bolt together for easy shipping and component replacement in the event of damage.... likely less bends to make as well

given all thats on my plate at the moment nothing will happen quickly

Best way IMO is to use 80/20 aluminum extrusion. Bolt together, strong, light. Reasonable $$

Another option for the DIY'er is to use 80-20 rail - think Trailex. Gives you endless options to suit your needs. The rails can be sourced from 8020.net or McMaster Carr - look for linear guide rails.

I asked our local fab shop to look at the unit from MK Tech and they hands down said buy that unit the custom fab price was more than double. I haven't bought yet Has anyone.

Haven't bought yet but will when I build my new garage in the spring. I've seen some of their other products and the build quality is excellent

I've two left out of the four MK tire racks I originally bought. Great stuff, high quality. Also had their alignment set-up stands, same thing, best of the best.

Vonschmidt

Thanks. I'll get the dims and see if we can make this fit in our trailer.

Hey guys, just to let people know.
here is a unit that a lot of teams including ourselves are using for around the pits.
Hope this helps some.

This is a great tire cart for the bucks, BUT those wheels (pictured) work well only on smooth concrete shop floors and are too small for running on pit lane !


I've had three of the irvansmith carts and they are reasonably priced and work well. For the money, though, I'd buy the mktechnologies and buy bigger wheels from Grainger !

The Baron

Thanks Mooty ......... the uprights are selling well ! One set left from the first run and just wrote up an order for another dozen sets.

You guys are fitting racks like these in your 1-car enclosed trailers?

Vonschmidt

Ours is a 48 ft 2 car. These may still be to large, might have to stay with the wall racks

Wing uprights?? What have I missed???
