I have one of the HF carts with my Hobart on it. Works good.
hmm.. maybe I have things arranged wrong but the HF welding cart causes my welder to lean back (shelf is angled)... which makes the hoses interfere with my gas cylinder that sits on it tank platform. DRIVES ME NUTS!! just make the shelf flat!! ... but it was cheap
The top shelf tilts back on mine too, but you can drill additional holes in the front vertical supports if you want to mount it flat.
I rolled it out front across the grass to get the 140 out of the back of my truck, and rolled it back the same way. It didn't feel wobbly at all. Just assemble with the hardware loose-fitting on a flat surface, then cinch it all down and it will be level, straight and plumb. The first screw stripped over-tightening it, but there was a spare in the bag ... I just made sure not to over-tighten the remaining ones.
When I get a gas bottle, I'm going to cut-out an appropriate-sized hole in a piece of thick wood and place it on the bottom shelf for the bottle to sit in, and cut a semi-circular wooden upper support ... and I'll use some ratchet-straps to secure the bottle, rather that the supplied chains.
It was a 'pre-owned' welder, fresh out of a repair session - got it from Kent (
