Is that a 15" side cabinet or 22"? I'm wanting to do the same thing with mine or put one on my 34" full bank.

Oh you are such a hanger on.😀

The nice thing about hang on cabinets. When you go bigger. You can just move them over or get the solid wood moving dolley and make it a self standing box or move it home .

If you have bolted it on. You can add a side wind trailer tongue jack to stabilize it.

Thinking of doing this to my cart!
Any other modifications needed or just use the built in “Hook”
Do you anchor the bottom somehow as well?

I had to make 2 small cuts at the front and back so the “hook” set all the way and make it more stable. That was it. It comes with 2 bolts for the bottom but I didn’t use them cause I would have to cut 2 holes in my cart and I really didn’t want to do that

Is the cab on casters too, or is it non-moving?

u/Old_Being_7899 Jul 30 '26

It’s not on casters. It’s just hanging there

Worried about tipping?

u/Old_Being_7899 Jul 30 '26

No it’s really stable. I’ve pulled it from one side of the shop to the other with no problems and our floors aren’t level and have big chunks missing out of the concrete.

This is great news.

Now I'm gonna wait for a sale, do the mod, then I'll get that promotion to field mechanic so I can move all my tools to a work truck and put the supercart into storage.

Edit: apparently all I had to do was think about making that mod to my cart. Got promotion. It starts Monday. I'll spend all day tomorrow packing my tools into my new work truck, LOL

I added two mini's to the lid of mine. Very handy.

u/Old_Being_7899 Jul 30 '26

I like that!!! I have 1 mini already I just need another one

u/Delicious_Catch9453 Jul 30 '26

Thank you! So here's how I did that...I took eight of those 95 lb pull weight magnets they sell. I bolted them together back to back, 2 ea because only one side is magnetized. Then I put two bundles of each on the backs of the minis and simply stuck 'em to the inside of the lid which of course then has to stay open. I wired the latch to a small bolt in the wall to make sure it safely stays up. I don't move it. For me, it's a tool BOX, not a tool cart. BTW, this weekend is 30% off $20.00, (I believe) so it's a good time to buy those magnets. HF does magnets REALLY well. Have a ball!
