Trailer, Motorcycle Loader etc.

admin

Here's a link to a few of my projects.  I bought a pontoon boat without a trailer so I built one, partly from light poles taken down at work.  My most recent project is the bed for the back of my truck made from a couple of pump bases taken out at work and the loader to get my Goldwing up on the truckbed behind the cab so I don't have to pull the second trailer any more.http://community.webshots.com/user/volvotoyhauler
Reply:Very cool...especially the motorcycle loader. You should immediately draw up plans and sell those. Either that or make the loaders and sell them. Very ingenious idea! John -  fabricator extraordinaire, car nut!-  bleeding Miller blue! http://www.weldfabzone.com

Reply:Very neat idea.  I may steal your design for a trolly with a boot for the front wheel to pull my BMW K75RT up onto my trailer that tilts back to put the tail on the ground.  Have to improve the trailer tilt control first, though.  Presently just gravity, a front jack with pipe extensions, and a lot of caution.I'll give you credit for the idea if I do it.awright

Reply:Banjoman,It rolls very easily so if the truck is level I just have to pull on the back of the frame as I let out the cable until it gets to the balance point then gravity takes over.  However, because I seldom can leave well enough alone I'll probably add a pneumantic cylinder that will push it far enough to reach the balance point.Uncle Jesse Lives
