Sarge Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I am trying to get an aluminum loading tray made for my new range cart. I'm guessing about 1/8th inch thick. I want to have the edges turned up so things don't roll off. I have no idea what kind of shop would do something like this. Would a typical machine shop be able to do this? Or would this be more of a fabricating shop? Is there a company online that maybe somebody has done business with and would recommend? I can figure out how to get it mounted I just need to get a tray made. Anybody here run a shop that could do this? If so I can sure send the work your way.

Piney Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 In the past, I've had success in geting small fab jobs done at local high school/ jr college shops. I offered materials and/or donation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hello: Go to a resturant supply store and get baking trays. They make them different sizes and depths as well as thickness. I use them for working on engines and transmissions. Keeps all the parts together and keeps the oil in the pan. Bread baking pans are great for pistol parts also Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had you needed this a couple of years ago, Sarge, I could have made it for you. You would think retiring from a fabrication business would leave one with some "privileges" but not in my case. I am not allowed to even drop in and say hey to my old crew, without asking for permission Anyhow, you will need to look for a metal fabrication shop. If you get one bent up and need the corners TIG'ed up, I can help you out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Dimensions? Dave Schattel Something along the lines or 18" X 10" or 12". I got a decent deal on an Eckla range cart and want to fit it with a tray similar to the Schneller cart http://www.eckla.de/english/multirolly.html Picture of the Schneller.

Kevin, have you talked to Todd Suchy about it? He seems to know a lot of people who can "get 'er done"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Yeah Buddy, I did. He said he can probably get something done for me but I have something coming from Dave Sunday. I'm anxious to see what he has conjured up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
