Development of a trolley for dismantling and mounting car wheels

Use and purpose of a special device for transporting goods for a mini tractor

If you plan to make a trailer for transporting boats, then you should take into account the fact that in this case it falls into the category of special-purpose vehicles. In this case, its weight and dimensions depend on the dimensions of the craft that will be transported. During the design process and subsequent manufacture of the device, it is necessary to take into account the class of the minitractor.

The trailer allows the motorist to transport large cargo, as in the photo. Despite the fact that today there is a huge selection of different models of finished products on the market, if you already have an idea of how much capacity a device should have in order for it to be convenient to use, then it is more advisable to make it yourself. In the photo you can see a homemade trailer for a mini tractor.

When you have your own farm, such a device is a necessary vehicle for transporting goods. The owner of the site simply cannot do without it. This device may be

The two-axle version is intended for transporting various bulk cargo, such as small special equipment or motor vehicles.

Single-axle can be used to transport any cargo, including bulk, liquid and semi-liquid. This option is ideal for construction and agricultural work.

Look at the photo to see the difference between the two types of devices: single-axis and two-axis.

What is required to make a tipper lifting device for a mini tractor

If you decide to independently undertake the manufacture of the device you need for your household, then you will need to prepare in advance the following building materials, tools and equipment:

steel (sheets),
steel channel,
plywood,
aluminum tubes,

chassis,
wheels,
electrical equipment,
metalworking tools,
fastening parts,
welding machine.

Installing a dump trailer for a mini tractor will allow you to easily transport and self-unload a variety of materials, such as crushed stone, sand, coal or soil. In addition, you will be able to transport other cargo for construction or household purposes that do not require any special conditions for unloading. The device is equipped with a rectangular body. Its unloading mechanism is fitted at the rear.

In addition, the craftsmen have already proven that it is possible to make a trailer from a variety of available materials, for example, from spare parts from a motor scooter or an old Moskvich. In the first case, the load capacity of the device will be at least 500 kg, and in the second - up to 750 kg. A self-made dump truck device can lift heavier loads – up to 1 ton.

In the video you can watch all the stages of the sequential construction of a trailer for a mini tractor with your own hands

The frame is made of 57 pipes.
Body made of profile steel.
The brake system is taken from a Tavria car.

A metal plate is welded into the beam from Tavria for reinforcement. The trailer beam is ready.
The base for the body is made from pipes.
The body is taken ready-made, the rest is from improvised means and supplies.

Next, a special device is prepared, which is made specifically to ensure good adhesion. It is done according to the pipe-in-pipe principle. To do this, be sure to take pipes with thick walls or hardened ones. In this case, the device will serve you for a long time.

For most agricultural machinery, a variety of equipment is offered, which in one way or another simplifies work and increases the functionality of tractors. For mini tractors, purchasing a special trailer will be very useful and probably even mandatory. The properties of the trailer must fully match the tractor model used, otherwise their interaction and efficiency will be complicated.

Fortunately, today there are many trailers available for certain models of equipment, so choosing the right product will not be difficult. But for certain reasons, some tractor owners are trying to make a tractor trailer with their own hands, which today is more than a simple and affordable task.

First combat mission.

Now that both the apparatus and the cart are ready (+ a couple of kilograms of sugar have been consumed), Ruslan went to the event organizers and children's presenters. He didn’t have to wander around for long - he soon reached an agreement with the studio. But let’s let Ruslan himself tell everyone about this:

“Initially, I was looking for a business with small investments, I saw one video on YouTube by Artyom-vatokat, how much money you can earn during the holidays. I was very interested in his approach to everything, accuracy, punctuality. After all, I am also a workaholic and we are somewhat similar. I subscribed to his channel and spent hours watching all the advice videos in a row. Then I thought that I should take action! In our city this segment is not very developed. I ordered a device, albeit Chinese, but I have to start somewhere - I would have done it differently now. At the same time, I ran to the studios of children's parties, one accepted me and told me to come as soon as I was ready to show something. This was a good incentive for me, because they were interested in me. I bought the profile, started welding the frame, also looked at various accessories and at the same time collected documents for working in this area. And now, 2 weeks later, I’m ready, and I’m going to my first children’s party. The kids and I rolled cotton wool. They were happy! The studio where I presented apparently liked it and they released an advertisement that evening. Now I’m preparing for May 1st and 9th. Thank you Artem for your advice and kind attitude!”

DIY cotton candy cart

A short blitz at the end:

What scared you the most? ANSWER: I was scared that I wouldn’t interest people and that no one would need me with my cotton wool. I still don’t have an IP, it was not clear how to open it and is it necessary? Artem advised not to open, but to start by going to the organizers of birthdays and events.
How much did you earn on your first trip? ANSWER: I made the first trip free for the event agency, so that they could evaluate me themselves. So zero.
What advice would you give to other beginners? ANSWER: Don’t be afraid and do it! It may not work out the first time, but it’s still better than lying on the couch and dreaming about big money.

Well, a little advertising at the end - if you are a holiday organizer from Bashkiria and are located near the city of Oktyabrsky, then welcome!

Trailer installation for tractor

Before you start creating your own trailer, it is important to know its structure and design features. Consists of the following parts:

flatbed body;
several wheels and chassis;
base - metal frame;
mechanism for lifting the body;
trailed for connection to a tractor.

Also, depending on the scope of use and required characteristics, there are two types of trailers:

With one axis - the simplest and most popular model, especially relevant for transporting bulk or other materials;
With two axles - they have a powerful design and therefore allow you to transport heavy loads and materials.

Making a four-wheeled cart

When creating it, you will need tools that only a person who has been doing homemade things for a long time will have. To work you will need:

welding machine;
grinder with several cutting discs;
drill;
hammers, keys;
devices for assembling and fitting parts.

Necessary materials:

profile pipes or corner 50×50 mm for the frame;
sheet metal 1-2 mm thick for the platform;
furniture bolts for fixing connecting units;
cast rollers with a cast iron rim and a rubber lining on top, or simple pneumatic wheels with axles.

Operating procedure:

Profile pipes or corners are divided into lengths: 100 cm - 2 pieces, 60 cm - also 2 pieces. The edges of the corners are cut at an angle of 45 degrees for better joining. Everything is assembled into a 100×60 structure and boiled on both sides.
The metal sheet is cut out 10 cm larger than the frame size. These edges will be needed for the sides. After manufacturing this metal platform, it can be placed on the frame with its sides up or down if large cargo is being transported. For ease of rearrangement, it is fixed with furniture bolts.
The axle of the rear wheels is firmly welded to the frame strictly perpendicular to the side walls.
The front axle is made rotary. This node must be very reliable. To do this, a small frame is welded onto it, as in the photo, and connected to the main body of the cart using a strong bolt. A washer should be inserted where the frames touch to facilitate turning. The bolt must be locked.
The handle is made from a pipe, welded into a T shape, one end of which is hinged to the front axle frame.

The result will be an excellent maneuverable cart that will be indispensable for household chores.

There are still a whole host of ways to build another swivel unit or another design of a four-wheeled assistant. Only in all cases you need to be slow and able to work with any type of tool.

Owners of garden plots do not have to sit idle. You need to either dig up the ground, then fertilize the garden or remove garbage from it, or plant or replant something. During these works, quite often there is a need to move any heavy or bulky cargo. A DIY garden cart will help solve this problem. Made from materials at hand or purchased in construction stores, it will become an indispensable assistant for a summer resident.

What types of trolleys for mini tractors are there?

Carts for mini tractors are usually installed on the rear three-point hitch and differ in load capacity, design details, functionality and preferred scope of application.

Trailers for mini-agricultural equipment that exist today can be classified according to several criteria:

I. Number of axles - this parameter is directly proportional to the weight that the tractor can lift:

single-axle - for example, carts of type 1-PTS-2, 1-PTS-4 and 1-PTS-9, compatible with mini tractors with a force of 6-16 kN. Their chassis is completely devoid of springs, and the unloading process can be done either only backwards, or in 3 directions. Can be used for the Photon, Dong Feng or Ural mini tractor;
biaxial - they are distinguished by better maneuverability, cross-country ability, and therefore move cargo along roads with any type of surface. A popular two-axle trailer is the 2PTS4, which can be unloaded through the rear or 2 side walls. Compatible with wheeled and tracked mini tractors with power up to 30 kN;
triaxial structures are the best option for frequent use. Their minimal wear and tear completely pays for the expensive cost of the unit. For example, which is used with powerful mini tractors;

II. Body type:

dump trucks - ideal for transporting bulk materials and scrap metal, the unloading of which does not require additional devices;
side – equipped with folding sides, which not only simplify the loading of material from the trailer, but also easy access to its contents;
barrel carts – suitable for cargo packaged in boxes, bags, barrels, containers.

Making a wheelbarrow with your own hands: step-by-step instructions

The best pneumatic wheels:

they will allow you to transport more cargo;
the wheelbarrow will become faster and will pass over any terrain and on soft soil.

Choose pneumatics from the Slovenian company LIV Kolesa. The quality is guaranteed, the discs will not bend, no matter how much weight is placed on the wheelbarrow. And the bearings are of a closed type, sand will not get into them, and they do not need to be lubricated regularly. You will get a reinforced car.

Next, you will need to decide on the number of wheels in the structure. One-wheeled cars are incredibly maneuverable; they can easily navigate a narrow path two bricks wide. At the same time, garden crops growing around the edges will not be caught. At the same time, one wheel will not allow moving large loads due to insufficient stability.

Two-wheeled carts are the best option, suitable for transporting both autumn foliage and bags of cement. Less effort is spent on driving such cars.

A metal cart with wheels has a high load capacity and a long service life. You can do it yourself.

Recommended sizes:

height - 0.5 m;
length - 1 m;
width - 0.6 m.

A device with such data is characterized by good maneuverability and increased stability. To do this, you need a metal angle 2.5 × 2.5 cm, steel 1.52 mm thick, a pipe, a welding machine, an angle grinder, wheels with durable bearings. Making a metal wheelbarrow with your own hands is done using a well-known algorithm of actions.

When constructing such a cart, the legal restrictions established for this type of trailer must be observed. In particular, the length of the trailer should not exceed 20 m, width - 2.2 m, and height 3.8 m.

By design, all garden wheelbarrows are a beveled metal body, equipped with a wheel or wheels, a handle and legs, which provide stability during loading and unloading.

Single-wheeled equipment is intended for transporting fairly light loads, including crops, weeds and garden fertilizers.

The wheelbarrow is only suitable for use on garden paths and asphalt

Advantages and disadvantages: the model is quite affordable, easily negotiates corners and turns, but has optimal maneuverability only on flat and hard surfaces, and moving on the ground causes noticeable difficulties.

More load-bearing models, which are distinguished by better maneuverability and are currently the most popular among owners of summer cottages.

The wheelbarrow is not as maneuverable as a one-wheeled one, but it is more stable and reliable

Advantages and disadvantages: the model does not get stuck on rough terrain, has good maneuverability and does not require much effort, and is also quite stable during loading/unloading.

A three-wheeled garden wheelbarrow is very spacious and has a significant load-carrying capacity, but the production of such models is produced by a small number of manufacturers.

The design combines the advantages of one- and two-wheeled wheelbarrows, but its price is much higher

Advantages and disadvantages: the model is easy to use, extremely stable, does not require much force when moving, has good maneuverability, but the cost is higher than that of one- and two-wheeled analogues.

Of course, all of the above designs can easily be made by hand, but to obtain a durable, reliable and easy-to-use garden wheelbarrow, you need to carefully consider the choice of materials.

The equipment of a garden wheelbarrow involves the use of plastic, cast, rubber, and pneumatic wheels with treads. The first type makes the structure light, but not too heavy-duty.

It is impossible to make a reliable car without good wheels.

One option is to purchase new wheels. The sale of such elements for wheelbarrows is now carried out by garden centers, construction markets and retail outlets. The best option is represented by solid polyurethane wheels and high-quality four-ply rubber tires.

This product is suitable for transporting light loads

The option of using wheels from bicycles and other equipment is quite acceptable. It must be remembered that cast wheels are more durable and are not able to deform even under a heavy load, and the rubber chamber filled with air has good shock absorption and a soft ride.

Body material

Factory-made structures most often have a body made of aluminum or steel. At the same time, the aluminum bowl is more durable, and the steel trough must have a zinc coating. When making a garden wheelbarrow with your own hands, a variety of materials can be used:

sheet metal must be galvanized or powder coated, which prevents the development of rust;
wood is a more affordable material in terms of price, but such a body will need to be aseptically treated and painted;
The plastic body is lightweight and not subject to corrosive changes, but is not resistant to mechanical damage.

The most budget option would be to use old structures in the form of half a barrel or a metal headboard for a bed. Some craftsmen make a wicker car body from willow twigs.

The body shape can be trapezoidal, with a beveled front part (this allows you to quickly and easily unload bulk contents), as well as traditional square (the cargo is placed in it more accurately).

Most often, handles are made of metal with special lightweight anti-slip rubber pads. Any wooden structure can easily be equipped with a simple wooden handle, made by hand. Corrugated rubber or plastic attachments with special grooves for fingers are very convenient to use.

Corrugation on such a product must be mandatory

It must be remembered that the space between the mounted handles must be optimal for the most comfortable maneuvering and reducing the load on the hands or the musculoskeletal system. The spacing of the handles of the wheelbarrow should allow the body of a person to fit with a remaining total free distance of about a quarter of a meter.

Depending on the purpose, one transverse handle or a pair of longitudinal handles are fixed to garden wheelbarrows. Longer handles make carrying the load very comfortable and easy, but at the grip site it is necessary to provide a standard bend to prevent twisting of the wrists during operation. It should be noted that models with two handles need to be pushed, while wheelbarrows equipped with one handle can be pulled along as well as pushed.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with a do-it-yourself greenhouse at the dacha made of polycarbonate

The set of tools that you will need to use when constructing a garden wheelbarrow with your own hands directly depends on the materials of manufacture:

hammer;
tape measure, ruler and marker;
hacksaw for working with metal or wood;
screwdriver;
welding machine;
Bulgarian;
set of wrenches.

If you need to paint or treat with special compounds, it is important to prepare brushes of different sizes in advance.

To choose the optimal model, you need to determine the following factors for yourself:

purpose of purchase. Each design has its own specific purpose;
required load capacity;
maneuverability;
dimensions, especially if the cart will be used in confined spaces;
weight;
price.

The load capacity and maneuverability of the product are closely interrelated and directly depend on the number of wheels. The most maneuverable are garden carts with one wheel. However, their pressure on the ground is quite high, which can cause some difficulties when performing work on a personal plot with soft soil. Two-wheeled models reduce ground pressure, but are less maneuverable.

When choosing wheels you should remember the following points:

The larger the diameter, the more load can be transferred at a time. In addition, such cars are much more convenient to use;
a trolley on wheels with metal disks will last longer than with plastic ones;
the frame and bowl can be made of aluminum, plastic and steel. The first option is preferable in terms of strength and performance characteristics.

Weight, dimensions and load capacity are interrelated. For household needs, a wheeled cart with a load capacity of 100 kg is suitable. For an industrial enterprise, it is worth purchasing more durable structures.

Ideas and sketches

Four wheels increase the capacity, strength and service life of the cart.

The production of four-wheeled carts includes the following steps:

We carry out all the necessary calculations of the loading platform;
We make a container in which the cargo will be transported. The size of the frame will depend on its parameters.;
We install the frame structure using welding. You can use leftover pipes for the frame. We weld the handle to the frame;
We weld to the bottom of the wheel structure;
We “shoe” the wheels with pneumatic tires. This will increase the weight of the cargo the trolley is designed to transport to 80 kg.

Build process

If you are planning to make a trailer for a mini tractor at home, you will need the following tools and materials:

steel sheets;
plywood;
steel channel;
aluminum tubes;
chassis;
electrical equipment;
wheels;
metalworking tools;
welding machine.

At the very beginning, you need to weld a frame that acts as a supporting frame. It can be made from round pipes with a diameter of more than 40 cm. All fasteners must also be welded.

Now you can move on to making the wheelbase, where you should use a steel rod as an axle. It is bolted firmly to the frame, and side rails and corner supports can also be used. A self-made trailer for a walk-behind tractor can serve you for many years for transporting various things.

Drawings of different types of trolleys

Here are different drawings on the basis of which you can prepare the necessary device with your own hands.

Drawing No. 1. Trolley lift

The trolley consists of: 1- welded frame; 2 – wheels; 3 – bushings that have clamping screws; 4 – handles; 5 – adjusting pipes; 6 – additional support; 7 – U-shaped riser; 8 – cargo hook; 9 – nuts; 10 – bolt holes; 11 – upper mobile block; 12 holes located at the top; 13 – drum; 14 – handles; 15- support for handles; 16, 17 – holes located below; 19 – mounts for the winch; 20 – holes for pipe adjustment.

Drawing No. 2. Conventional single-axle trolley

1 - frame made of pipes with a diameter of 20 mm; 2 — wheels; 3 - wooden platform; 4 — grips; 5 — wings made of sheet iron 3 mm thick. You can carry loads up to 100 kg.

Correct connection of the trailer to the mini tractor

It is important to note that a trailer for transporting a mini tractor must also have a reliable attachment to the vehicle, and it is best made on the basis of an articulated drawbar, which is inserted into a special tubular body. In the upper part it must be fixed with a special fuse, which will provide additional protection against accidental disconnection. The design of this unit should be approached very carefully, since in this place there is a high load combined with vibrations and strong friction.

Assembling individual catches into a single whole

When all the structural systems are ready, they must be carefully assembled into a single whole, which is best done with an assistant. In this case, you need to carefully monitor the entire progress of the assembly, double-checking the reliability of the joints being connected, the strength of the hinge joints, and the bolt ties. When the mechanism is ready, the resulting trailer should be run in without a load so that all the necessary parts get used to each other well.

conclusions

Summarizing the above, we can say that with due persistence and care, it is quite possible for many domestic craftsmen to construct homemade dump trailers for mini tractors. The only thing is that during installation, it is advisable to make all structural elements from durable, non-rusty materials that can withstand heavy loads. It is also recommended to coat all metal elements with oil paint to reliably protect them from corrosion, which will significantly extend the useful life of the trailer.

Video review of a homemade trailer:

Manufacturing methods and materials

One-wheeled car. This design is less maneuverable and stable compared to two-wheeled models. The wheel is located centrally at the front of the cart, and a heavy handle and stop are used as a counterweight.
A wheelbarrow with two wheels. The most common model. The symmetrical wheel pair creates additional support, so this type of construction is particularly stable.
A wheelbarrow with four wheels. Not a very common model of garden cart. Two pairs of wheels create maximum support and allow you to work with heavy and bulky loads.

A significant disadvantage of wheelbarrows with two and four wheels is the need to modify garden paths. The axles of such wheelbarrows are much wider than a one-wheeled cart, so the width of the tracks must meet the requirements.

To make a garden cart at home, you need to prepare the following parts and tools:

Handle installation

According to the advice of experts, the handle should be made of a strong iron rod. Experts advise using a bicycle handlebar or a mount from an old scooter. In the technology of the fastening mechanism, the choice remains with the master: to make the handle fixed or foldable on hinges.

The body is made of durable material that is sufficiently resistant to moisture and mechanical damage. This material is most often a metal sheet. To work, you will need to prepare sheet iron, welding and a grinder.

According to preliminary calculations, metal blanks are cut out, the sharp edges are scalded or ground off. The housing is secured using screws and metal rivets. It is desirable that the case be as sealed as possible, especially if bulk cargo is intended to be transported.

The wooden two-wheeled model is the easiest to implement. To produce it you will need a standard set of tools.

Small instructions for work:

You will need a board 7x7 centimeters. It will serve as a frame. All parts of the frame must be connected to the board using screws. Additional parts are used for strengthening.
Several slats need to be attached to the bottom of the structure.
The handle will be made of metal. It will make the structure more resistant to loads. A handlebar from an old bicycle or an ordinary thick steel rod are perfect as a handle.
The sides will be made of boards. Be sure to consider what kind of loads you plan to move - the more loads, the larger the boards needed for high sides. The frame and well-fixed wheels can give reliability to the product.

Four-wheeled carts for moving large loads are always made of metal. Thanks to the presence of four wheels, such models are more spacious, durable and have a longer service life. Able to withstand weight up to one hundred kilograms. In order to make a similar design option with your own hands, stock up on a plumbing tool kit.

To make a cart with four wheels, you will need:

Preliminary calculations for the platform on which the goods will be moved.
Make a container where materials will be moved in the future. Depending on the container parameters, the frame size will be calculated.
Using welding, it is necessary to install the structure with the frame. In order to secure the frame, you can take the remains of the pipes. Weld the handle to the frame.
The wheels are welded almost last.
It is best to use pneumatic tires as “shoes” for wheels. Thanks to them, you can increase the weight of transported cargo to eighty kilograms.

The easiest option is a steel cart. Wood can also be used, but it will only participate in the construction of certain parts. The frame under the wheels of the basket should be made only of metal. Wood is great for building and making a wide range of DIY tool cart parts. According to the established dimensions, which will be determined for your convenience, the frame is made from a profile pipe.

Vertical posts are welded in the corners of the frame on both sides. They must be the selected size 8 pieces. On the outside of the racks, the walls are made of boards or steel sheets. You should not use corrugated sheets, because they are quite thin and wear out quickly.

But a steel sheet 2-3 mm thick is ideal. A bottom is cut from the same sheet, which will be inserted inside and bolted to the frame. You can work and weld here, but the bottom of the basket is most susceptible to wear, so it is easier to replace it by simply unscrewing the bolts and inserting a new sheet into it. Cutting out metal and re-welding it every time is not particularly convenient.

Is it possible to make a homemade trailer for a mini tractor with your own hands?

As prices for factory carts rise, homemade mechanisms, which can be made at home from scrap materials without much skill or special knowledge, are becoming increasingly relevant.

We will look at several options for designing a homemade trailer - for beginners and for more experienced craftsmen.

Non-tipping trailer for transporting light loads

The most primitive design of homemade carts can be called single-axle with 2 transport wheels and without mechanisms for turning the body over.

Work progress:

Making a drawing of a future homemade product - it should reflect the dimensions of the finished device, the size of the parts, the size of the sections, etc. You can use ours presented below as a base one;
The cycle of preparatory and organizational work - at this stage, the necessary materials (metal angles, channels, stainless steel sheets, wheels, plywood) and tools (electric drill, welding, grinder, screwdriver) are prepared. It is advisable not to use rotten parts to avoid double work in the future;
Creating a frame - it will be the load-bearing support for the future homemade product. For it, metal pipes with a diameter of 4 cm are taken, cut to size from the drawing and welded into a rectangle. It is important to provide a front traverse in the frame, weld a hitch for the central axle and strengthen the rear beam;
Equipment of the wheel part - its axis can be a hollow steel rod connected to the frame with bolts. To strengthen the structure, supporting corner blocks and side spars can be used;
Recreating the body - it can be made in wood or metal. It will be easier to make a wooden one if you have dry, undamaged wooden beams, but it cannot compare with metal ones in terms of durability. For a wooden body, the beams are cut into boards, which are sealed with metal corners, and then primed and coated with powder paint. A metal cart is best made of stainless steel or aluminum, which will not rust and will withstand heavy loads;
We adapt the towing mechanism, which will maintain a balance between the drawbar fastening and the frame frame;
We adjust the wheels - they can be taken from an old walk-behind tractor or a passenger car in the amount of 2 pieces. The advantage will be the presence of tires with a rough tread, which will eliminate loading and slipping on country roads and after rain;

Do-it-yourself carts for transporting hives

Anyone who has the opportunity, but does not have time, can purchase a ready-made wheelbarrow or cart. If a beekeeper wants to save money, then it is best to make such carts for transporting hives yourself. For the first option, you will need a box in which the bee house will be placed, as well as a special transport handle, a metal structure in which the tree box will be placed and large wheels to make it convenient and easy to transport a full hive of different sizes. This option is shown in the photo below.

Trolley with box

You can use the second version of the trolley, with its help you can transport and lift hives; it is similar to an apilift. The welded frame provides a place in which the hive will be placed. It is necessary to take two longitudinal pipes and weld axle shafts for the wheels to them. Weld a clamp down onto the transverse frame pipe; a special handle will be placed and attached to it. Check out the design in the photo below.

Apilift trolley

Scheme No. 1. Apifit trolley, a - front view, b - side view.

Comparison of homemade and factory trailers

You can buy a factory semi-trailer or a dump trailer. Trailers for mini tractors are sold in all cities of Russia. It's just the price that may disappoint you. The cheapest type costs 10 thousand rubles, not to mention the design with a lifting mechanism.

Why spend money when you can make a reliable and durable trailer for your equipment with your own hands. You just have to have the materials necessary for the business and, most importantly, the desire. By the way, if you have not decided on the choice of the tractor itself, then a reliable assistant for working on agricultural land is the Belarus MTZ tractor. This brand of manufacturer differs from others in its quality and durability. The price may be higher than average, but the characteristics are not inferior to other devices.

In order not to get confused in the choice, it is necessary to take into account the parameters described above. The choice is always yours, but remember that with your own hands you can make a more reliable and high-quality product than what is available on trading platforms.

The miniature tractor has already been appreciated by many farmers. But supplementing it with factory trailers is a very expensive pleasure for many. The solution is to independently manufacture a device for transporting goods.

How to make a dump trailer

Let's look at how to make homemade dump truck trailers for mini tractors with your own hands. If you decide to make a dump trailer, then you need to decide on the choice of lifting mechanism. There is nothing complicated here as it seems at first glance. There are 2 options for dumping the trailer: manual self-tipping and mechanical. The first can be done by welding handles to the front of the trailer. The tractor driver will lift the structure with his own hands. But you can’t do it with just one pen.

It is necessary to make an L-shaped pin, after pulling it out the trailer will tip over itself under the force of the load. A mechanical one will be a little more difficult to do than a manual one. You can make a mechanism that lifts a trailer from different types of lifting equipment. For example, it could be a jack or an electric motor with a battery, a winch or a hydraulic system, or you can get by with an oil pump. You need to attach the mechanism to the body in the most convenient way for you.
