I just got a Husky 80 gal. 2 stage compressor. I would like to make a mobile base for for this monster as I am just setting up my sandcarving shop and will probably be changing locations a couple of times before coming up with the best location.
My plan is to constuct the base using lap jointed 2 x 4's. I will also use 2 or 3 2x4's as braces. The top of the base will be made with 2 pieces of 3/4" plywood with the grains rotated 90 degrees. I plan to use the red Woodcraft 3" double locking casters. They are rated a 300lbs. per caster. The compressor will be bolted to the base with rubber and steel isolation pads which came with the compressor. The compressor weighs 458 lbs.
Will this base work for this compressor? It will be used on a concrete slab floor. Thanks for your help!
