Give me ideas - Kart trolley
« on: 20 January 2012, 20:33 »
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Go-Kart-three-wheeled-trolley-/220934223986?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Other_Vehicle_Parts_Accessories_ET&hash=item3370b4b872#ht_500wt_1202

Need to buy one like above (well, any kart trolley), however I don't justify paying £50+ for what is 3 wheels and a few metal bars. Can anyone think of a better alternative to wheel my kart around the pits? Something obviously safe and stable with chunky tyres (outside of the pits it's gravel).

Oh and it needs to fold/dismantle as I'll need to put it in the back of the golf!

Needs to be reasonably high to work on the kart comfortably. Also it'd slide off when moving it about. Did think about it though.

Kart weights about 85kg, give or take 5kg in fuel.

I had the same thought after getting my rotax a coupl of years ago. In the end it just ended up costing the same for everything I could think to fabricate something similar, to what it would cost for a second hand trolley specifically for karts!  :rolleyes:

Yeah I'm afraid that's what it does look like I'll end up doing, but ask here because there might be something obvious/not so obvious that I may have missed out and could be a decent alternative!

was gonna suggest something like this too
cause we have one at work for moving things around and can lift quite alot with it, however there quite expensive as it seems.

tbh unless you build something your self simelar to what you linked up to ebay i cant see you getting anything cheeper, unless you nik one of those trolleys from b+q were they dont have the sides  :D
