Today I have a great idea for you that my husband came up with a few months ago…
adding wheels to a pallet!
There are many reasons why wheels are a great addition to a pallet, but here are two big ones:
Easy movement of storage containers. We have a big basement with many plastic storage containers and shelves, but this pallet is a great way for us to stack these plastic containers on, and they are now easier for us to move.
Keeps your containers and items off of the floor,which helps keep them safe from flooding and pests, and any dirt or dust that may be on the floor.
This rolling pallet cart would be perfect to use in a garage, basement, or shed. This cart would be quite amazing in a storage unit, where many things are stacked up high, and hard to get out without unloading all of the things in the front. If you had a few of these carts, you would save lots of time and work by just rolling out the boxes in the front!
This project is also WAY less expensive than buying a rolling cart, which is more than double the price of the wheels we used (which is all we bought for this project), AND it holds twice as many boxes, because it is wider than a traditional rolling cart. We spent about $10 for the wheels.
