In this video you can see how I built this kiln cart from scratch. As the name says, it is built for my new Rohde kiln. I have also built in a drawer with a bucket that contains the oil for quenching. The size of the bucket on the inside is 22cm x 27cm and it's 45cm deep, the oil level will be at 41cm height. So it is 2cm bigger on all sides than the kiln opening itself which is 20cm x 25cm and 35cm deep (39cm diagonal). The kiln is made by Rohde from Germany and the model is ME20/13 (see link below). It has a digital control unit and max temperatur of 1300°C. It's 91kg heavy by the way.
Just 1cm above the oil level I installed a perforated sheet as a spill protection guard. By moving the cart around or just moving the drawer the oil will make waves and could spill over and make a mess. The perforated sheet does slow down the waves a lot and makes spilling over less likely. If it still does spill over I could also add a second perforated sheet with a distance of 1cm right above the current one. To protect the oil from dirt and dust I have also made a lid to cover up the opening. I placed the drawer on the left side of the cart to have additional space on the right side to build a little shelf for the heat treatment equipment. I have an electrical heating unit to preheat the quenching oil, an infrared thermometer to check the oil temperature, heat resistant gloves, stainless steel foil to wrap the parts to avoid scale to build up, a pair of old scissors to cut the stainless steel foil and also a pair of blacksmith tongs to hold the parts.
I brought all the parts to a local company for powder coating to have maximum protection, especially for the bucket with the oil. Regular 2K paint could not withstand the high temperatures of the oil very well. I built the shelf from wood and roller painted it with a PU acrylic paint. The shelf and the drawer are painted in light grey (RAL 7035), the frame and the door latch are painted in sky blue (RAL 5015). I picked these two colors because they are the same like the kiln, the Rohde logo is in sky blue by the way.

I hope you like my work and the video.
