Other Another homemade beach dolly, less than $60

[20superjet07]

I bought a dolly from TSC for $29.99. Then I turned down some heavy wall pipe (with the same O.D. as the dolly), to make the dolly longer. Inserted it and welded it all together. Then I decided that I wanted larger tires, picked up some lawn mower tires from Criagslist for $15, and modified the dolly to fit them. I didn’t want the metal cart rubbing on my SJ, so I bought some PVC pipe. Then cut about 25% of it out, this way it would snap right over the dolly rails and not need fastened. Finally added rear legs and welded a carabiner hook on the handle, to attach a rope to the rear of the SJ. Pretty simple design, but if you would like any detailed pictures let me know.

Looking back now, I should have built the whole thing from scratch. But if you are satisfied with the size of the original dolly tires, I suggest just doing it the way I did (without the lawn tires). Attached is a picture of the SJ on it with the small dolly tires.

l looked at a dolly the other day at northern tool and wondered if (what you did) that could be done.A ski dolly is nice,but they are very pricey.Glad to see there are other options! thanks for the thread!

Looks good, but have you tried wheeling that through sand yet? I have a bigfoot cart with the big balloon tires and it still sucks pushing it through the sand, it is soft florida sand though.

Looks good. I've thought about doing it this way for quite a while.

I have not. I live in Ohio, so sand should never be a problem... but I did think about buying some tires from http://www.wheeleez.com/ I decided for my use those were not worth the money.

huge balloon tires actually arent the easiest rolling wheel setup. they have a large surface area that seems to make it more difficult than like an atv wheel.

Built this a couple of years back out of a spare tire carrier, it works pretty dang well, doesn't fit the Superjet that well but it works great on the Kawis

About $45.00, I cut the spindles off an old Suzuki fourwheeler and welded them on, also used the rims and tires from the same fourwheeler, paid someone $25.00 to weld it all up, all I bought was some tubing off of Ebay for the handle, grips were recycled off the 300SX, used an old tied down stap for the hook and strap for the front. They grips are not installed in those pics.

Does it do good in the soft sand??? Can you push it by your self and what you push on it???

Here's my homemade beach dolly. Strong and heavy as hell. Steel tubing and the wheel spokes are steel rebar...haha. Actually performed really well in the sand surprisingly, but I typically used it to tow behind my electric scooter down the asphalt to our riding spot... When in china....
