Low Ceiling

Tom_133

Good Morning All,

I got a job coming up with 5' ceilings. I am 6'2", my coworker is 6'3". The job is a 100' basement with 5' ceilings throughout. Its smooth concrete floors and very spacious, I was curious if anyone had suggestions on a work buggy build or a way to move around the job quickly, without having to walk around stooped over. Like an office chair that you remove the back, or something like that. Something strong as well

Any ideas?

Wheelchair? What tasks will be performed in this crawl space?—

@Tom_133 you are probably thinking of a mechanic's stool. They're great for doing exactly what you're describing

Mechanic's stool, or one of those wheeled seats that are sold for gardeners of a certain age... like this: https://www.gardeners.com/buy/rolling-garden-seat-with-turnbar/8600328.html?SC=XNET0351#q=wheeled+seat&start=1

They're up in Burlington, if that's anywhere nearby...

Electric shopping cart?

A baker scaffold on wheels is nice, adjustable height, room for parts and tools. I welded a few extra cross bars in mine to fine tune the adjustments.
I used it mainly for installing overhead plate jobs. it would be fine to sit and roll on.

In crawl spaces I used a garden cart to roll around on and keep tools in.

You can also make a few dollies rather cheaply with scrap wood and 4 casters. I leave one permanently in my crawlspace for filter changing of the air handler. I used it alot when putting in the radiant-running tubing and wires, and tools.
2'x3', big wheels roll easy.
Don't forget good knee pads.

I am installing a couple NTI LX300, and a couple HTP SSU60 dual coils, and running 200' of copper in that space. I found this little buggy that I like. https://www.amazon.com/Traxion-2-230-Monster-All-Terrain-Caster/dp/B00863OHZW
