adding wheels to a pallet!
There are many reasons why wheels are a great addition to a pallet, but here are two big ones:
Easy movement of storage containers. We have a big basement with many plastic storage containers and shelves, but this pallet is a great way for us to stack these plastic containers on, and they are now easier for us to move.
Keeps your containers and items off of the floor, which helps keep them safe from flooding and pests, and any dirt or dust that may be on the floor.
This rolling pallet cart would be perfect to use in a garage, basement, or shed. This cart would be quite amazing in a storage unit, where many things are stacked up high, and hard to get out without unloading all of the things in the front. If you had a few of these carts, you would save lots of time and work by just rolling out the boxes in the front!
This project is also WAY less expensive than buying a rolling cart, which is more than double the price of the wheels we used (which is all we bought for this project), AND it holds twice as many boxes, because it is wider than a traditional rolling cart. We spent about $10 for the wheels.
Supplies:
- Pallet
- 4 Wheels
- 16 Screws
- Drill
Directions:
Turn pallet upside down and place one wheel in each corner evenly. Screw the wheels into the wood.
And you're DONE!
Wasn't that easy?! Now instead of moving piles of containers or boxes, all you have to do is roll them away! It's such a simple concept, but is so brilliant at the same time. I'll tell my smart husband you said thank you ;)
Hopefully this will make your life easier, just like it has ours! Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for future additions to this project...

yup we need this! thanks for the idea
ReplyDeleteAwesome, glad I could help! Have fun making this, it really is pretty easy and painless :)
DeleteThis is a great idea. I could really use something like this in my garage.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brandi, you should give it a try! It is so easy to wheel around our containers now, instead of moving them one by one.
