With the tracks complete
it was time to build the cart. |
The cart was constructed from
pressure treated 2x4s, 5/8" steel
axles and 4 hard rubber tires. |
|
Using a rope, we lowered the cart
onto the track to see if it would work.. |
Bob's Mom standing by 4000 linear feet
of 8" paneling that would be moved up on the Charlie Horse |
|
We finished the cart by adding decking which
would support the material to be moved. |
We constructed a deck behind the ramps
to hold an 8000lb battery powered winch. |
|
Attaching the cable to the cart. |
A marine battery was connected
and another test was conducted.
|
|
Bob was the first passenger,
a rock solid 220 pound test. |
It was a great sense of accomplishment
for Dad and Bob to see the lift working. |
|
Yep it's a long way down there |
A side deck was added to increase
maneuverability when a load has
reached the top. |
