BEER30 Posted July 25, 2007 #1 Posted July 25, 2007 Well till the wife can handle longer MC trips ,we will have to trailer a bit so I am building a trailer rack for the BEERCART. I have her worked up to 3-4 rides now , but going to Vogal is a bit longer on her , so we will trailer to Sleeperhawk's and Mechanic's house and ride scoot from there on . Now my MC/Ult. trailer is not large enough for both scoot and the BEERCART . So I'm in the process of building a rack to set the BC (BC = BEERCART) onto . Here are some photos of what I have accomplished so far . I still have to finish cleaning it up , finish the loading ramps , place a boat bow roller , hand crank wrinch , some minor bracing and paint . Should take a couple of more afternoons . The scoot will ride directly behind the BC . I had it on the trailer last night for adjustments and have 3-4 inches of clearence between it and the BC . By the way , if was just myself the scoot would not be trailers . I'm only doing this for the love of my wife ! But there will be no cage at Vogal . Gene
RoadKill Posted July 25, 2007 #2 Posted July 25, 2007 You're truly talented. Looks like it will work great.
Lone Eagle Posted July 25, 2007 #3 Posted July 25, 2007 WOW - THAT IS AWESOME. You are one talented man - congrats, Beer.
Eck Posted July 25, 2007 #4 Posted July 25, 2007 OK Gene, how the blazzis did you get it up there........by use of ramps?
Wizard765 Posted July 25, 2007 #5 Posted July 25, 2007 Same question as Eck... Do you lift it up? Ramp and boat winch? Magic?
Black Owl Posted July 25, 2007 #6 Posted July 25, 2007 In the words of Artie Johnson, Veeeeery interesting.
BEER30 Posted July 25, 2007 Author #7 Posted July 25, 2007 OK Gene, how the blazzis did you get it up there........by use of ramps? Never under estimate the Power of "BEER" , Unless your flat on your face ! Read the text boys ! :rotf: Gene
sarges46 Posted July 25, 2007 #8 Posted July 25, 2007 Man, I could use you as a neighbor! That is very cool!
Eck Posted July 25, 2007 #9 Posted July 25, 2007 OK GENE, I got it now!! I still have to finish cleaning it up , finish the loading ramps , place a boat bow roller , hand crank wrinch , some minor bracing and paint . Should take a couple of more afternoons . Gene
Venturous Randy Posted July 29, 2007 #10 Posted July 29, 2007 Looks neat, but it also looks like you are going to have a lot of tongue weight. Is there anyway you could move the axles forward about a foot or two? Looks to me like you may need it. RandyA

Is there anyway you could move the axles forward about a foot or two? Looks to me like you may need it. RandyA I will have no problem with the tongue weight pulling with the truck (1/2 ton , 4x4) with trailering package . My boat has more tongue weight than the 180 lbs. Beercart added to my double axle ult./MC trailer . Even though it has 12" tires , it is rated at 5,000 lbs . However I will have to move the MC wheel choke back about 4-5 inches for better clearance . The shifting of the heavier MC will help a tiny bit . If it doesn't rain tomorrow , I will have it finished . Just paint , finish the new ramps and tie-down brackets left to do . I have hauled a Kabota tractor with skip loader on front on this trailer with no problems as well . Gene
