The original trike trolley from Larry Wallace
|
|
|
|
Use 40x40 square pipes
|
|
|
|
Use flat steel 40x8
|
|
|
|
The plates must be rocking for easy roll on/off
|
|
|
|
The size of the plate is dependant on the size of your rear wheels
|
|
|
|
You need to reinforce the square pipies in the rear, due to the weight of the trike
|
|
|
|
A simple 10 mm bolt is sufficient to retain the front wheel
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have the right angle. The trolley should have a clearance of about 30 mm
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure the angle is correct and then weld
|
|
|
|
When you are done, this is how it should look
|
|
|
|
When the right angle is determined, cut off some material to make the joint a better fit.
|
|
|
|
Put everything together
|
|
|
|
Weld a border for the rear wheels (optional)
|
|
|
|
For easy dragging you need to weld on a latch, and make a corresponing dragging rod with a hook.
|
|
|
|
Start spraying the primer
|
|
|
|
And then a nice coat of Ferrari red
|
|
|
|
|
The retaining bolt for the front wheel might have to be bigger depending on your front wheel
|
|
|
|
Ready !
|
|
|
|
Note the rod with the hook for pulling or pushing
Steel bar 16 mm.
|
|
|
|
If you make a tight lateral fit, the wheel will stay in a straight ahead position all the time.
|
|
|
|
Note that when the trike is dragged onto the trolley, the wheel plates are tilted automatically enabling easier loading.
|
|
|
|
When the wheel goes backwards, the plate tilts accordingly.
|
|
|
|
This trolley is designed to be dragged in and out of an hangar in a straight forward direction.
|
|
|
|
UPDATED VERSION
Having had problems maintaining a straight line with the fixed wheels the trolley was rebuilt.
|
|
|
|
|
With this modification it is now very simple to steer the trolley and the construction is still easy to build
|
|
|
|
The modification does add height, but it is not a problem having the tiltable accessing ramps made long enough
|
|
|
|
This is what it looks like today.
|
|
|
|
It turned out nicely concidering the very easy one man handling
|
|
|
|
If you have a more rugged surface you might want to use the rod with the hook, to allow a helper to drag or push via the double sided latch.
