Will My Welder Fit the Ultimate Welding Cart?
The welder bay was drawn around the Everlast Lightning MTS 275-P on a PowerCool W401, but plenty of big welders fit. Pick a machine or type in your own measurements to check yours.

The welder bay's limits
| Limit | Ideal | Absolute | What sets it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 11" | 13.25" | The bench end and 3⅜" vent gap on one side, the end posts on the other. At the absolute limit the vent gap closes at the shelf post. |
| Depth | 28" | 33" | The cart is 33" deep. Staying at 28" keeps 5" in front for the leads to bend. |
| Stack height | — | 39" | The rear arm of the top frame over the welder sits 39¼" above the deck. Measure the welder and cooler stacked together. |
Taller stack? Make all five posts longer by the difference, which raises the upper shelf with them. The cut list has every post length.

Water coolers
A cooler sits under the welder, so its width and depth count against the bay and its height adds to the stack.
