If you own more than one trailer, or have a place that the trailer fits for storage but isn’t easy to back into, you have probably thought about or bought one of those push around trailer dollies to help out. I’ve never owned one, but probably should have, but I do like looking at the electric ones that allow you to move a big or small trailer without much effort. They aren’t cheap though. I’ve looked at used ones, but in general they are a bit out of my budget. Now I’d love to try out one of the newer models to see just how well they work, especially compared to a DIY unit. Do they have more features? Do they perform better? Do they require less work?
I don’t know, but I do know that looking at a unit like this DIY build makes me want to build one of my own. I think you could make some changes to make it your own, but use this one as a guide and let your imagination run wild. This one here is designed to move trailers weighing up to 1100 lbs, but I know that the right gearing and power makes it possible to move trailers much heavier.
Video Description:
Moving trailers or devices with a hook can be very tiring and tiring, so we decided to make a vehicle that will make life easier. We used generally available elements such as:
- Broken wheelchair motors
- Wheels from ATV
- Gel batteries
- Motorcycle sprockets
- Self-aligning bearings
- Wiper motor
The charging port is on the top cover, forgot to show it. The batteries last for about half an hour of driving. The maximum weight of a trailer or machine is approximately 500 kg / 1100 lbs.
