Low profile trailer to move Mobility Scooter

[prosa69]

I have a Mobility scooter I need to move around Ft. Wilderness campground behind the golf cart. I came up with this. Its a landscape cart and welded on a receiver hitch. The person who had it before me cut the arms to the wheels to move the wheels down some more. I turned it over to push wheels down even more to give me 6 inches of clearance on front and back. My scooter is 23 inches wide so will just fit in the opening. I did not want to mount to top bar. so with my lifted cart I will have to use a 6 inch drop hitch for this to sit flat.

Used landscape cart was 40.00 (new around 200.00)
Steel 30.00
New sealed bearings not the standard wheel barrow bearings 10 pack was around 16.00
Receiver hitch. 12.00
cheap can of spray paint 3.00

So around 100.00 if you can find a used landscape cart.

Great idea.

Had to do a few updates on it. Putting in front wheel first did not produce nearly enough tongue weight. The arms holding the front made it too narrow for the rear wheels. Welded them to the outside of the frame. The first run it was bouncing all over the place. Had to deflate tires and center them on the rim. Welded the original handle to it to help move. Put on a piece of wood for rear bars to sit against. Added some safety chains also.

Once I did all this worked like a charm.

The loading and unloading is easy as you just unhook from golf cart and put your foot on end of frame and just roll it off.

Going to be adding a ramp for the wife if i am not around to unload.
