Hospital Guerney Converted Into Rolling Tool Bench FARM SHOP Miscellaneous 29-5-36 Doug Brown, Columbia, Tenn.: "I converted a 6-ft. long, stainless steel hospital guerney into a rolling tool bench. The gurney rides on big caster wheels which work beautifully on gravel. I can just roll the gurney out of my shop to whatever piece of equipment I need to work on. Gurneys are the mobile units used by hospitals to roll people around. I got mine from a local hospital that was going to throw it away, even though it was in like-new condition.
"The gurney has brakes on it, and I can lock any of the wheels to run straight. I removed the chrome arm rails and mounted them on front of my Chevy S-10 pickup to serve as a grill guard. It fit perfectly and the pickup headlights fit right through it. Several of my neighbors also use gurneys to haul stuff around their businesses.
"I added a 1 by 4 board to each side of the gurney to keep tools from falling off, and bolted a smaller piece on top of the 1 by 4 to hold screwdrivers. I keep a tray at one end of the gurney for sockets, and an ice cream bucket at the other end for parts.
