Haulin Bot
Build Details:
Snowmobile shaft cut in half with the drive sprockets and bearings. The ends were milled down to 7/8" to fit the bearings and the drive sprockets. |
|
Start to the bearing mount and end plates in 1"x2" steel | |
Track adjuster parts made with 2"x2" Rec tube, angle iron and some scrap round tube | |
Track adjuster in the 2"x2" Rec tube | |
Wheels installed every 12 inches | |
Track installed. Track was just a used track from a snowmobile cut in half. | |
Dimensions are approx. 3.5ft W x 4ft L | |
Needed to be able to adjust the motor position to tighten the chain so came up with this mount setup |
|
The wheel chair motors have a 300 pound capacity | |
All mocked up and test fitted | |
Tested with this gear ratio but it was way too slow. Plenty torque not enough speed | |
Mounted the deck from a garden cart. The cart was rated to carry approx. 1400 pound from Tractor Supply. I was able to reuse the battery boxes from the chair they fit perfectly under the two center deck cross bars. |
|
Capped all the ends and a fresh coat of paint |
|
Added a small winch from Harbor Freight. |
|
Finished off the electronics box. Used the original charging port from the wheel chair. 100 amp key switch and the bottom display shows battery voltage. |
|
The roller wheels for the lift are actually metal casters from tractor supply. |
|
The actuator is slow but rated to lift 1200 pounds. | |
The platform was modified to mount the top rollers on the back underside allowing the lift motion | |
The front mounts of the lift bar are stationary. | |
Using the lift as a working table with the sides on it. I did have to push out the light bar and winch to clear the lift actuator. |
