Garden Trolly

[Stephenw]

Hi Guys,

I have got two small pneumatic tyres that would suit a garden trolly.

Does anyone have any plans for a garden trolly or the axles?

Thanks

Steve

Why? Are they free to someone who has?

 

[Stephenw]

I plan to make one

Used to make trolleys as kids,usually with old pram wheels...just used to invent the design as we made them.

But one long piece of timber as the spine of the thing,and a cross bar at the front pivoted with a bolt in the middle,this holds the front axle with a length of string to steer it with. The back end has a fixed cross bar to hold the fixed rear axle,then just some boards or box as a box fixed on....like to see some pictures of you racing around your garden when you have made it.

We called them bogeys. Best ones had a brake, a stick held on with one nail. Steered them wither feet. Great times.

I can remember the grazed knees and the friction burn from the rear wheels.

It always got a bit interesting when one of the pram wheels became a bit buckled and it was only a matter of time when it would completely collapse.

In the town I grew up in mums couldn't leave a pram outside a shop. The wheels would be gone in less than the time it took for them to buy their newspaper and fags.

I started from the other end. I had a hose reel that was a pain to carry so I added wheels and a handle to make a hose cart. Wheels are readily available from decent hardware shops, ebay or toolstation/screwfix so somebody must buy them. Axles are a rod or bolts, what you attach them to is anything you can imagine.

Lost my front tooth on such things as a kid

Whilst I too have happy memories of the precious risk/fun balance that existed before H&S was invented, and have vague memories of them being known as "trollies" in the frozen north, I think the OP was thinking more of a hand truck:

this link gives plenty of examples that will probably be good inspiration.

With only 2 wheels I rather thought he would be thinking of the sack barrow type of construction.

Standard sack truck with beefed up axle fitted with golf trolley wheels for trundling over soft pasture
Oh! and custom made hive/super sized drop on box!

Brill design VM patent it now get a manufacturer to make them and sell them on E**y, I will buy one

This is the home end . Believe it or not this cost £13.00.
The stainless steel bolts in the corners of the plywood are to fit the inner corners of the super to prevent slipping . Simple ,no real engineering skills required !

Is that a standard trolley, or did you make that too?
