I really like my generator but it takes up a big hunk of floor space. I can move it around with my pallet jack but it always seems to be in the wrong place. I decided to do something about the situation to get the generator out of the way and make better use of the floor space: I built a work bench to park it under. The frame is 2x2x1/4 angle. Height is 42", size is about 4' by 7'.
I wanted a full sheet top to prevent dust, small parts, and liquids from raining down on the generator underneath so I decked the top with 2x6, put down a 1/8" sheet of steel to tie them all together, then put a sheet of matte white Formica on top for a nice, high contrast work surface.
I added a beefy mount for an old Craftsman vise I got from my grandfather to make it special.
