That is nice

When you put a bottom in it will stabilize itself. Looks good anyway.

Looks nice but I don't think the unistrut connections are gonna hold up to the vibrations. Can you tack each piece together?

That box on the back needs some foamofill and a drain plug. That looks like a great cooler for drinks. :toast:

If you put a board on the bottom it will stabilize the whole thing.

Other than that cool work

So far I haven't seen any elevators getting loaded and unloaded out of a truck and then going out on a pier or bridge.
