A fella here expressed interest in my "boxes" which I use in lieu of jackstands.

Joe,

Those are plenty strong. We would have to know the thickness of the plywood, the specs on the wheels, and the type of fastener but I would guess he could put 1000# more on there... The force is well distributed. Plus, being square, they store easily.
