Meatrack Trolley Project with Scorpio Engineering



The trolleys, called "Meatracks" are large movable racks that can hold up 120kg of heavy items. This project was constructed by Scorpio Engineering and steel was chosen to be the materials as aluminum is too weak.
Wheels had to be purchased, we bought Japanese originals. These wheels are huge, larger than my hand because they have to take the weight
Mr Chia drew out the diagram on the floor, fabricating a frame is not easy, you have to get everything exactly right or else it will not fit. We used angles, pipes, hollow sections, meshes and plates all customised cut and fitted.

Base frame, all fabricated by Mr Chia, getting ready to assemble the supportive frame. Some grinding had to be done to smooth all sides down
Use of clamps to secure the sides
More than one index finger thick, thats how strong the frame is. Plus it's all made out of steel.
Mr Chia getting ready to weld the sides together
The exterior frame is ready, time to put the mesh expanded metal in.
Base plate for the wheels, drilled holes for the screws. Painted original army green, looks really good
Load it up, ready to go
Two reducers on top so that other meatracks can be stacked on top to save space

Expanded metal, painted green as well
