During any work with a jacked-up car, even with seasonal replacement of wheels - the car must be insured! I use homemade traguses for this and for more than 30 years a collection of them has been assembled (of different heights).
This is only a small part. But somehow on the Internet, I came across a commercial for a collapsible insurance stand, which you can take with you on the road.
I immediately thought: - “And why do not I have one?” Resolved -
Required:
MATERIALS
1) Profile pipe thick-walled 30x30 mm
2) Profile pipe 20x40 mm
3) Profile pipe thick-walled 40x40mm or corner with shelves 35x35 mm
4) Sheet metal 3 mm thick
5) Sheet metal with a thickness of 6-8mm (I took the washer with an outer diameter of 60mm and a thickness of 5mm)
TOOL
1) Angle grinder
2) Cutting and cleaning wheels
3) Electric drill or drilling machine
4) Drills with a diameter of 13 and 16 mm
5) Welding machine
6) Electrodes
7) Bench square
8) Roulette
9) Rolling jack
First I drew a couple of pictures
At work, a dead, decommissioned junk was found. With which the traction of lifting the front wheels (wall thickness of 4.5 mm) was borrowed.
These rods were cut into six parts.
And then cooked. The seams are cleaned. The first, already finished leg, was used as a conductor when welding the second. The angles were controlled by a bench square.
After that, he began to weld the upper cross member and racks. They cooked them from a corner, with a millimeter gap, on a draft of the draft. Having pulled down a corner with clamps.
After that, I drilled holes in the legs, upper cross member and supports. The central hole of the cross member was drilled with a 16 mm drill. A tube was inserted into it and scalded.
For jibs (stiffening ribs) of supports from three millimeter iron triangles were cut.
At the base of the supports (profile pipe 20x40 mm), one wide shelf was cut along the pipe in the center and a square was cut out.
After which the supports were welded
From above, interchangeable inserts are inserted into the central hole of the upper cross member for installing the stand in the sub-jack as I have, under the threshold or lever (beam or bridge) of the car, which are shown in the video.
On the other side of the cross member in the region of the central hole, a washer is welded onto which the rolling jack will rest.
Since my jack had a heel of only 45 mm in diameter, I had to weld a piece of iron to it from the speaker to which the magnet is glued.
For the manufacture of the liner cut off the heel from the failed regular jack. I cut out a rectangle from 8 mm of iron and drilled it.I inserted and gripped a M12 bolt of suitable length into the hole and welded the heel on top.
Here's a safety stand.
I wish everyone safe maintenance and repair of their iron horses, !
