DIY Trolley Uses

Strut channel trolleys can also be used for various do-it-yourself (DIY) projects around the home or workshop. Here are some DIY uses for strut channel trolleys:

  1. Garage Organization: Mount a strut channel trolley on the ceiling of your garage to create an overhead storage system for bicycles, kayaks, or seasonal items like holiday decorations. You can easily slide items in and out of storage as needed.
  2. Workbench Mobility: Attach a strut channel trolley to the underside of a workbench to create a mobile workstation. This allows you to move your workbench around the garage or workshop, providing flexibility in your workspace layout.
  3. Lumber Rack: Install strut channel trolleys on a wall or ceiling to create a sliding lumber rack. This provides a convenient way to store and access lumber, pipes, or other long materials while maximizing floor space in your workshop or garage.
  4. Garden Tool Organizer: Mount a strut channel trolley on a shed or garage wall to create a sliding organizer for garden tools such as shovels, rakes, and hoes. You can hang hooks or clips from the trolley to keep your tools organized and easily accessible.
  5. Pot and Pan Rack: Hang a strut channel trolley from the ceiling in your kitchen to create a pot and pan rack. Attach hooks or S-hooks to the trolley to hang pots, pans, and cooking utensils, freeing up cabinet space and keeping your kitchen organized.
  6. Closet Storage: Install a strut channel trolley along the top of a closet or wardrobe to create additional storage space for clothing or accessories. You can hang clothing rods or hooks from the trolley to maximize vertical storage in small closets.
  7. DIY Camera Slider: Use a strut channel trolley as the base for a DIY camera slider for photography or videography projects. Mount a camera on a tripod head attached to the trolley, then slide the trolley along a track for smooth and stable camera movement.
  8. Outdoor Shower Curtain Rod: Hang a strut channel trolley from a pergola or deck railing to create a sturdy outdoor shower curtain rod. This allows you to hang a shower curtain for privacy while showering outdoors during warm weather.
  9. Bike Hoist: Mount a strut channel trolley on the ceiling of your garage or storage space and use it as a bike hoist. Attach a pulley system to the trolley to lift and store bikes overhead, freeing up floor space.
