BORAPortamate Mobile Base PM-3800 with High Clearance 5” Wheels – Universal, Heavy Duty, Adjustable Rolling Kit, Floor Dolly Roller for Equipment, Power Tools, Machines- 1500 lb Capacity

I hunted for a mobile base for a long time and settled on this one for a Hammer A3 16" jointer/planer. It's easier to install on the delivery pallet from Felder but could easily be installed on the floor. Using a multi-piece base allows the base to be put together under the machine. To assemble, lift the jointer with (2) 2x4 lumber and a car lift jack from each end with blocks like a fulcrum and slide one half of the base with the tubes installed under the machine. Block the planer on this end so the machine is not resting on the base, this will allow for some movement when installing the other end on the tubes. Lift the other end the same way and install the other half of the mobile base. Lower the jointer on this side, move the car lift jack to the other side and lift to remove blocks or knock them out with a hammer to the inside of the machine. Build some 2x4 ramps off the pallet and roll the 800 lb machine off the pallet. The wood block will drop out between the ramps while moving the machine off the pallet. I placed the wheels directly under the infeed and outfeed tables to prevent a trip hazard. The mobile base moves the machine around very well. There is a little sag in the middle between each corner where its bolted up but its plenty stout. The sag is from the bolt holes being larger than the bolts. This base has the thickest metal wall available, unless you welded your own base.

I wanted my Powermatic 12" jointer to be mobile and they don't create a mobile base for the 12" model. I purchased this and it worked great. Assembly went smoothly and it fit very nicely. I can move my jointer around with ease and I am not worried about the durability of the mobile base.

I bought this mobile base for a very large bandsaw that weighs about 1,000 pounds. I had to order the optional side rails due to the size of the bandsaw. Everything came together perfectly.The base is very well constructed and was easy to assemble. It works very well with my 1,000 # bandsaw. I would purchase this base again.

The Anita base was easy to assemble and is extremely sturdy

The most positive aspects to less so:Excellent finish, a robust powder paint coating, in fact so robust you'll save yourself some later frustration by chasing out all the threaded openings before attempting assembly.The all steel material was a selling point to upgrade from my decades old wood/metal base. It is dramatically more rigid and easier to handle.The other selling point was five inch casters to cope with a less than even work floor. That said, the photos are a bit of a stretch. That door track it is shown about to cross? I have one of those. I made some small ramps to get over it. It could be pushed across without the ramps, but it will be a workout if your machine is anywhere near the max weight.Also, that rolling across a power cord photo? Yes, it will do that. However, the lifting jacks just behind the wheels will probably catch the cable. So, you'll be on your knees untangling. There is a work around, completely retract the foot bolts. Then you'll be back on your knees extending or retracting the foot bolts. My response to constantly adjusting the jack bolts is a couple of pocket sized mudsills made from 3/8-1/2 inch plywood that can be dropped and toe shoved under the fully retracted jacks.From a very small garage shop user, it works well, and significantly reduces my setup effort. If Bora ever provides a longer travel foot lever for the lifting jacks to improve obstacle clearance, I'll probably buy them.
