Here are a few pictures of my attempt at a March pump toolbox conversion.
Power comes in from 25' extension cord and it powers my GFCI outlet. I decided not to alter the power cable on my pump, so it is plugged into a short extension cord and wired to the switch and outlet. I know the front switch isn't mounted beautifully, but that is a fix I can address at a later time.
The pump box is big enough to allow for a second pump on the opposite side as well as a second switch in the front. I have chosen a vertical mounting, though to be honest, I never had a problem with horizontal mounting.
For the box itself, I went with the Stanley 3-in-1 Rolling Workshop. The portability of this box is what I needed for my system. I run a two tier setup and some days I brew in the garage, some days in the yard and some days on the porch depending on weather. This wheeled assembly allows for great portability as well as ample storage. The base will probably be used to store tubing and I might bolt my plate chiller into it as well. The middle section is going to contain various brew day necessities and spare fittings. The top of course is the pump.
With this setup, I hope to be able to bring this box with me to other homebrewer's houses so that they can utilize the pump as long as they have a ball valve and a power outlet.
