Motor support racks

[Chuck4741444]

Im needing to build a rach to hold (2) johnson 150 and (1) 200. How wide and how far apart should the wheels be to support these three motors

Depends what you are building the rack out of.
A welded steel rack, may only need a wheel in each corner.
Something out of 2x6's on end, maybe 6 wheels.
Something out of 2x4's, gonna need a lot of support.

Why one rack instead of 3 separate racks???

As wide as you need to fit the 3 motors ,I mean its not like they are going to fall over sideways with the 3 side by side on the same rack.
And yeah , why one rack for all three ? Make them harder to move and need a bigger single area .

with wheels, the rack has to be big enough in both directions to keep the load from falling over when you move it and hit a crack, or a pebble, or a change in elevation.

if this is for storage, use the cherry picker, pick the motor up and move it over to the rack.

If the combined center of gravity stay within the perimeter of the base, an item will not fall over.
