 Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2007 3:18 pm Post subject: Pit Kart/ Kart Stand (Like Anderson) Thoughts? Mass Product? |
 |
|
Just finished another project, took me about 3 full weekends to build this.
Made of mostly 1x1 steel box tubing, with some thicker tubing on high stress areas. The idea is to transport everything with the kart, under the kart.
Engineering wise, it is designed to be efficient, use of materials, stress points, etc. Tool box was hard to squeeze at first. It's bolted down and the whole thing is working well so far.
Cost was about $500 +
steel 100$
Alum sides + bending $100
Caster wheels 55
Toolbox $90 shipped
Air tank 65 shipped.
Powdercoating $100
not including labor!
Pit kart was designed around a 6 drawer tool box and 6 gallon air tank with gauge. Rear has a compartment for gas jug, front has compartment for oil, miscelanous. Fire extinguisher above air tank storage.
Has a 2x2 ID hitch, so, it can be transported in the hitch.
Building the frame for the pit kart...
Testing how it fits on the trailer hitch...
Completed pit kart....
A few more...

I'll be the first to reply on this...
I have seen this pit kart up close and it still amazes me how well it was made. Considering Jay has anly been welding for a couple months now, he did an incredible job on the design and contruction of this kart.
Jay - Where's mine?!  |

| Nice stand. It looks pretty heavy to be lifting it onto a hitch receiver. How do you manage that? |

your right, it is heavy! I insert a 2x2 OD (outside diameter) box tubing inside the 2x2 ID receiver of the cart stand, tilt it up to the trucks hitch, then from behind, puch up then forward and insert to the trucks hitch, slides in.
basically, a 2x2 OD attaches between truck to cart. I've managed to test this myself, lil bit of muscle involved but doable with one person. Preferably with 2!

| Not sure if you've ever seen the mx bike carriers that mount in the hitch, but one brand of them lifts the bike up and down with a bottle jack. That would make lifting your stand effortless. |
