Compact self-compelled welding station

A mobile welding station providing a unitized self-contained welding, electrical power generation and compressed air supply on a self-contained independent drive and steering system with a capacity to be moved under power within a construction site, farming operation, multiple floors of an occupied building, a building under construction, a manufacturing complex, a maintenance facility, or outdoor locations where no other local power supply is available, the mobile welding station comprising:

• a base frame defining a front member, a rear member and two side members;
• a mobility drive system defining at least one powered rear axle with two independent driven rear wheels and at least one front wheel, an operator platform providing a deadman safety pedal which requires operator engagement in order for the mobility drive system to function, an engine, a fuel tank, a D/C battery and a stationary control assembly providing a starter, throttle, choke, and a movement control means proving directional and speed control to said mobile welding station;
• a utility power system provided by a welding machine which supplies not only the welding machine with leads for welding operations, but also a secondary A/C power supply to operate an A/C control assembly with at least one 110 volt A/C outlet and at least one 220 volt A/C outlet, and
• a compressed air supply system;
• and
• a gas bottle rack containing gas welding bottles and gauges, wherein said mobility drive system and utility power supply are independent, having the capacity for one to be used with or without the other.
