Upgrading the Sys-Roll

[Willy668]

Because I work mostly on rough building sites, I was not so happy with the rock hard wheels on the sys-roll. The systainers are bumping all around, and the slightest rock or piece of wood will stop the wheels completely.

The other day I put the sys-roll on a handtruck to move everything to another room in the building, and this was a huge improvement. So i've put rubber wheels, with air, on the sys-roll and it works great!
With very little work, replace the axel with a wider one, and nothing even has to be changed on the sys-roll itself. Like it's ment to be replaced.

Thought I'd share it with you guys.

Nice work! Are you able to provide a parts list so as to assist others who may want to adopt your great mod idea?

 

[PeterK]

Really excellent upgrade idea!
Yes please list materials and sources if you can.

Great idea.  Adding larger wheels on the rear would cause the SYS-Roll to lean forward.  Has that caused any issues for you?

That's correct, sharp  ;D
At this point it's leaning a little bit forward. So I ordered bigger front wheels which have the same mounting points to I can replace them easily.
I will write down all the parts which I had to get to get the Sys-roll updated. Will do that shortly.

The off road Sys-Roll!  Especially nice since it is easy to do.  [thumbs up]

Cool... I just posted a new message about the Rotatruck stair climbing handtrucks... they are pricey!https://www.rotacaster.com.au/shop-product/rotatruck-lite/stair-climber-lite

The back table and legs are also interesting!  Can you show more details?

Ha! Thats an awesome idea! Great job!

I made this worktop to give me a work surface to roll around the warehouse.

 

[Crazyraceguy]

That would make a great Shaper Origin project. Do you happen to have that shape digitized? or was it all hand work? Jigsaw, holesaws, etc?

 

[Chrisfixesbikes]

All handwork I’m afraid.

 

[onocoffee]

Very nice. Any issues with placing heavier objects on the ends?

 

[Chrisfixesbikes]

So far so good. I went back and added 3d printed cleats to the bottom so the worktop latches to the sortainer. For my purposes I don’t forsee an issue,but depending on your needs it could be a problem

I used the sides to fix cargo rail to. I think I used 10mm x about 5mm steel flat and dropped it down inside the uprights and drilled through the plastic to mark it then drilled and tapped it to hold the cargo rail.
Then its easy to fix battery stealth mounts and cargo rings so drills can hang off the sides.

I could put all sorts on via that fixing system but I'm a slacker and haven't bothered yet.

Can you share the parts list please
