VE 10-50 custom cart into a custom convertible pallet
Posted: Sun Sep 09, 2018 2:51 pm
I have provided my VE 10-50 custom cart along with the sale of my last (and previous and future) VE 10-50 buyer for free. Except this time I needed to ship it on a pallet. Hence I had to get creative in making the design of the pallet that would temporarily incorporate the 4 swivel wheeled cart, at the same time be easy to dissemble the pallet parts and for it to allow itself to lower to the floor and for the VE 10-50 to lower itself back on to its feet on the cart. The following is picture of my design draft and explanation to the buyer. I will provide pictures of my completed custom convertible pallet in a few days. I have also provided a picture of how I personally deliver a VE 10-50.
My intention is that the shipper will place the pallet with the machine supported off its feet packed on it, in your garage. From there with my instructions, you will be able to remove a board one at a time or a small group of boards at a time (that are glued & screwed together), which will allow the machine to lower itself down onto the cart and to allow the cart to lower itself down to the floor. I believe all that will be needed is a cordless screw gun and no muscle-men help.
I just finished the design and have attached my draft of it. It's likely hard for you to decipher, but with photos and instructions I will provide later, it should be no problem. The blue part in the picture is the original cart, as seen in the photos I posted in the Yankee Trader that supports this VE 10-50 (and all my others). To make this VE 10-50 custom cart into a VE 10-50 convertible custom pallet, it will only require four eight foot long 2"x6" boards. I will likely use this design for my other VE 10-50s I will be selling and shipping, once I have more of the pot-metal replacement sets available and installed.
