Mobile welding cart with lift, storage, and power options

A mobile welding cart, comprising:

• a base frame having a base section, the base section comprising first and second parallel base struts connected by a first cross member and a second cross member connecting the first and second parallel base struts to define an opening;
• a lifting platform detachably connected to the base section of the base frame;
• a storage compartment mounted to the lifting platform;
• a welder mounted to the storage compartment;
• a scissor lift mechanism mechanically coupling the lifting platform and the base section to allow for expansion and retraction of the lifting platform with respect to the base section;
• a stationary platform secured to, and extending rearwardly outward from, the second cross member of the base section;
• a power box connected directly to the rear of the storage compartment, the power box receives power from a single source connected to an input power;
• a first pair of scissor arms having a first arm and a second arm hingedly connected together at a first center for pivoting about a first pivot point, where the first arm has a first upper arm end and an opposing first lower arm end, and where the second arm has a second upper arm end and an opposing a second lower arm end;
• a second pair of scissor arms having a third arm and a fourth arm hingedly connected together at a second center for pivoting about a second pivot point, where the third arm has a third upper arm end and an opposing third lower arm end, and where the fourth arm has a fourth upper arm end and an opposing a fourth lower arm end;
• wherein the first and third upper arm ends are pivotally connected to the lifting platform and the second and fourth lower arm ends are pivotally connected to the first and second parallel base struts of the base frame,
• wherein the first parallel base strut includes a first elongated recess and configured to slidably receive the second lower arm end;
• and
• wherein the second parallel base strut includes a second recess and configured to slidably receive the fourth lower arm end.
