DanRobinson Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 There is a lot to like about this cart for the shooting sports but I don't have a truck to haul it in. Has anyone modified one to take down so it can fit into a standard size trunk? Just looking for ideas. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Looks like it would be simple to remove two bolts and swing the upper handle down in the front. Has nice big wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Here: http://www.harborfreight.com/welding-cart-65939.html or perhaps: http://www.harborfreight.com/welding-cart-60790.html ETA: Nah, he must mean the other thing. Not sure either is best as the red one will get tippy if you don't have the weight at the bottom. I think the wagon approach works better or the stroller for 3G.

DanRobinson Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 The red one is what I'm talking bout. I have seen them on different range s but always pulled out of a truck. Hop ing someone had already come up with a quick take down solution I could copy. Hate to re-invent the wheel if it had already been done successfully.

Steve RA Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 If you did not like the swing/fold down suggestion you could totally remove the upper handle by removing 4 bolts instead of removing two and loosening the other two. Guess after that you could remove the wheels if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Build something based on this kind of 2-wheel cart... http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/material-handling/hand-trucks-dollies/hand-trucks-folding/best-value-folding-hand-cart-200-lb-capacity?infoParam.campaignId=T9F&gclid=CKvgnOD1vs0CFQKTaQodKFIKdA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glock26Toter Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Why reinvent the wheel, so to speak? http://www.doublealpha.biz/eckla-beach-rollyfor like $99.00 + some shipping seems reasonable to me. I know many will disagree with said "reasonable price", but think about how much money in sponsorship dollars companies like DAA put into our sport. They sell many types... http://www.doublealpha.biz/range-carts?osCsid=f24820ffd44c87555bd7ed2176c9811d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I've been using the Harbor Freight welding cart for several years now. I typically haul it in the bed of a pickup truck but when hauling it in the trunk of a car, I pull off the handle and wheels. I replaced the nuts that hold the handle with wing nuts so no tools are needed. I replaced the cotter pins that hold on the wheels with some pins I picked up from Home Depot. They look just like the pins used in Dillon primer tubes, only larger. Dewalt makes a heavy duty plastic tool box that fits nicely into the cart. Two of those stacked on top of each other will hold a lot of gear. If its mid-summer, instead of the Dewalt tool boxes I place a small ice chest in the cart with a shooter's bag on top. To help hold everything together, I made a rail out of 1x2 wood bolted to the frame. Bungee cords also help. I also added ATV gun racks so I can use it for 3 gunning. One local range had rough terrain between stages and the big wheels made it easier to move gear than my Rugged Gear cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same cart set up in a similar fashion for 3 gun except that I use a larger MTM dry box that sits on the bottom shelf. Wing nuts, washers and longer bolts (with some spares) solved the handle issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Hello: Look at the Tipke Foldit cart. It is a little pricey but it folds flat easily and fits in the trunk of my diesel Jetta. You can make inserts to use it for 3-gun or sporting clays. Great around the house also to collect leaves etc. The DAA cart I bought works great for my Shooters Connection backpack as well. Both of these carts store easily on the wall and don't take up much garage space. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
