OK,
So I get tired of staring at the dinosaurs (old unfinished projects) in my shop and decide it's time to get one finished. The welding skid project: Bottles can be used in this configuration or two 300's can be installed in the skid along with two AC4's for those big burn jobs A storage box for the future plasma torch will go to the left of the bottles Attachment 52987 From top left, down and too the right, oxy/acct , stinger and ground leads 50' 3/8", 100' 3/8" & 50' 1/2" hose 2 x 50' 12 gauge triple tap ext cords (on separate circuits) Believe it or not the inspection panel on the welder can still come out. Attachment 52988 Miller Bobcat 250 (fuel injected) - 250 amps / 12,000 watt gen set. Attachment 52989 SS hard and woven lines to the oxy/acct hose reel, The skids oxy line is by the middle air reel for easy swap out Attachment 52990 Welding lead reel isolation blocks Attachment 52991 Power blocks to feed the isolated reels Attachment 52992 Remote oil drain and filter (no more oil change messes) Attachment 52993 Ext cord reels are modified (position lockable) air reels, just unplug to wind-unwind Attachment 52994 Jumper cable tap (blue cap - right of and bellow fire ext) for the welders battery. Attachment 52995 Can you figure out how the latches work? Attachment 52996 This skid can be bolted directly to the truck bed that I built here https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...light=Flat+bed With the brackets shown on the 1st pic it can be adapted to any of the trailers I built as well. What do you think of it? |
where's the skid earthing lug?
any provisions for additional fuel on board? looks good tho. |
Looks good you have some talent
|
If it's in your way, I'll store it for you! Nice!
|
Man, that's nice!
|
Super clean work. Nice job.

The welder to skid to truck/trailer bed is all metal to metal (via nuts / bolts and or threaded holes) then a static strap off the truck/trailer. If the unit ends up as a stationary gen set I can see doing a ground rod.

that works too.

The grounding issue is an interesting can of worms to throw out there as some folks thinks a portable generating device needs to have a ground rod pounded into the earth. Well who is going to pay for an emergency locate every time you get to the end of your leads and move the machine? Don't get me wrong I'm all for safety but lets not kill common sense along the way. |
Do those blue bolted-on caps at the ends of the runners come off for extra parts/supply storage? Could you have used them for secondary air tanks?
|
depending on where your working (with a gas patch location), there is usually several earthing rods on lease.
Yeah, if your welding up joe's horse pen, it doesn't make sense, but rolling up on location and potentially backing your truck up to touching the rig to get under the sub structure somewhere, your gen set could be at a different earth potential than the rigs. |

Absolutely fantastic set-up tho. I was going to build a skid before I got the International, and I still may at some point, but I'm glad I didn't because no matter how well mine may have turned out, I'd be unhappy with it now! |
It's about time you showed up..You been out chuckin' wood?
The grounding topic has created many of heated forum discussions. Like I said common sense go's a long way.. That is one advantage to air tools I have been shocked by their price but never while using them. |
That is marvelous!
Good work. I don't ever want to see you team up with chaikwa. You two would wind up building something that the govt would pay you to not build. And if Shorts and Heidi got involved it would result in something that would kill you if you looked at it. Very nice work |
