high banker and pump transport solved, 8 big images

[aussiefarmer]

If you cant get your vehicle to where you are digging lugging the pump up and down hills really blows 8.( so out of necessity comes invention

Firstly the cheapest way to get wheels is to buy a fridge barrow from stupidheap $24 secondly rack your brain for a few weeks until you solve the pump mount issues

thirdly check roller door clearance when loaded on ute and adjust accordingly :lol:

fourthly stick it back together and check balance and leverage 8)

fifthly nut out the best solution for hich banker mounting making sure its secure and safe and doesn't interfere with hand position

sixthly notice the recycled pipe from the cut and shut now used as highbanker holder, grind up the burnt paint and lumpy bits

seventhly blow some paint on it remembering red ones are faster :lol:

eighthly remount pump and wheels and stand back and stare for a good hour

and hey presto pump transport , please note limiting alcohol to two beers or spirits per step greatly improves the chances of it working out :lol:

good idea may I suggest something ? a chest harness and a rope connecting to the back of it and then the rope tied to the top of the trolley for pulling it up hills saves a lot of time and effort and you don't fall over as much trying to pull something that heavy up a hill or creek over rocks just a thought.

also another thought that came to mind is putting 4 wheels on it instead of 2 that way the trolley can carry more weight and you pull less weight

There is actually a negitive weight on me already , as the pump is trying to go back down therefore lifting the handles up , if anything i will move the axle an inch or so closer to the pump to try cause a more neutral balance.
In the past i have found four wheels to be more hassel then help in the bush but your harness idea coulld definently free one hand up when pulling the trolley behind you up hill.

The main though of this build was KISS

Be good if you could hook it to the back of a quad bike also..
Why walk if you can ride.

Not wrong about the quad. I am trying to cart less gear each trip and try to use every item atleast once . So far so good .

 

[nucopia]

Most of the old timers carried there gear around in small hand carts , they just had bigger wheels on them.
