Wheeled Bucket Stand
Chad Travis, Drasco, Ark.: “I made a wheeled bucket stand for a local auto garage. It’s designed to support a 5-gal. bucket of fluid 3 1/2 ft. off the floor, which makes pumping fluid into gearcases a much easier job when the vehicle is up on a lift. One person can hold the hose in the gearcase fill hole and pump in fluid, without having to reach down to the floor.“The stand’s center support is made from a 2-ft. length of pipe welded to an angle iron base. The bucket rests in a tray made from 1-in. angle iron and 10-ga. sheet metal. The back support is made from 1/4 by 1-in. flat strap bent in a half circle.
“You just roll it under the vehicle. The raised stand makes the bucket much easier to reach than if it was on the floor.”
