Have you ever bought a car & knew immediately...

I am looking for something I can put my frequently used detailing stuff in, that I can wheel out to the car, a cart or cabinet on wheels.



Some of the shelves should have doors (to keep towels from getting dirty). Some shelves should be open, but with a lip, for frequently accessed bottles. I have checked some industrial suppliers, but found nothing that fits the bill.



Any recommendations?
 
They have both home use units that can be used for what you are looking for. Check Target or other consumer stores.



We use the commercial units in all our shops, but they are open and have no doors, don't need them commercial shops that are managed, if the managers aren't on their toes of course, things come up missing.
 
got mine at the home depot. it is a cart with 2 doors that have hooks that you can hang things on and 2 handles on the side that are great for hanging spray bottles. it has 2 shelves on the inside. it works great but is too small for all of my stuff. then i would need a tractor trailer for all of my stuff, hahaha. there is several brands and designs that i have seen as well. skates for my wife??? hhhmmm...

We use the ones in this section, keep in mind that ours are used 5 to 6 days a week, 51 weeks out of the year.



When that is considered, they are not expensive and most we have are two to three years old with not breakage or problems.



You get what you pay for in most everything.
 
Yes, Ron, I could see it would make sense for you. Those carts look great. For an individual, well, I am pretty fanatic (I do use a leaf blower to dry my car), but as much as I would like one of these carts, I cannot justify spending $700. On the other hand, ;)
 
LOL :D



Re the price, I said the cart was $700. It's not. It's $798, call it $800. And, that is without the optional adjustable shelf and the bumper kit, which take it up to about $855! With tax (Calif), that's over $900. A HEPA filtered garage starts looking cheap!



Anyone know of other, cheaper alternatives?
 
Check out restaruant supply companies. A couple of years ago, one of my neighbours bought a cool cart with heavy duty castors, rugged shelves and a cabinet, from a restaruant supply place for $200 or $300. It was modular, like elfa stuff sold at the Container Store, so you design your own. This neighbour has since moved away, so I can't get the source from him. Good luck.
 
Highjack an airplane and get one of their beverage carts :D



darbh, have you considered making one. for $700 i'll make you one. I'll even put the Klasse twins and Blitz on it for free so it'll last long. :p
 
:up Those rolling workshops look great. And, a lot cheaper than $850! Thanks.



Any other suggestions from anyone else would be welcomed.
 
Yo Steve - -- re Hi jack an airplane and "I'll make one for $700" LOL :D



You know, the beverage cart is not too bad an idea. I will check it out.

Actually, a couple days ago, before I ran into the maid's carts, I thought I would have to make one. I actually would not mind, except my workshop is in storage (did not make it to my new place).
