Hey Eck !!!!!!

[BEER30]

Hey Eck , first off "Thanks" on informing me of the linear actuators . I finally finished the mods to the "BEERCART" , other than securing down the aux battery inside , installing one limit switch and paint . I can now manually control down pressure with push button control until I get the limit switch installed .

Now I need a robotic arm , that will fetch me a beer from the cooler and hand it to me on the scoot ! Got an extra one laying around at work ?

 

Now I can raise/lower the lid and lock the lid to the "BEERCART" remotely . Call me lazy , but having to lock and unlock 2 locking mechanisms located directly under the spoiler was getting difficult at times . Project cost me around $165.00 . Linear actuator is rated 200lbs. with key-fob remote control . I made the "Bell-crank" out of steel , 3/4" axle and 1 1/2"x 1/4" flat stock . Total weight less than 8 lbs. . I place a lawn mower battery inside the "BEERCART" as it's sole power source with parallel wiring from the scoots battery via a 2 prong connection plug to recharge the battery while "on the go" or with use of a battery tender in storage . The linear actuator draws less than 2 amps under load . Circuit is protected by fuse link . I will also install a pin puller to release the actuator , just in case a malfunction occurs . Here's some pic's .

Beer, that is just way too cool dude. You are one heck of a fabricator. But one problem, I didn't see the cooler.

 

By the way. You have a PM.

Steve , Cooler is front of , as it is built into the trailer . I carry a collapsible cooler to take into the hotel rooms . You can see the part of it on the second picture from the inside view towards the bottom of . It is insulated with that foam spray can stuff .

I'll check my PM's .

You are most welcome my friend.

Just thought going with the linear actuator would be much better than the hydralic push rods version.

You did good!!!

Hey, let me know when your going to your Tn company again, and I will meet you for lunch or dinner..
