Mobile Homeless

For the upwardly mobile homeless, we have an improvement over the shopping cart. Consider a frame thirty inches wide X 7 feet long X 16 inches deep. It rides on pneumatic wheelbarrow wheels with a total load capacity of about eight hundred pounds.

The width and length are adequate for off-the ground sleeping, and combined with the depth, is has a capacity of a little over twenty cubic feet. The low height should make out-of sight camping fairly easy.

The frame was welded up from 1-1/2 inch square tubing 1/16” thick, and weighs just fifty pounds.

The heads were cut off of 5/8” bolts and welded to a piece of angle iron to provide axle support.

2X4 studs bolted to the bottom will allow the axle assembly to be mounted in the center for a balanced trailer, or positioned farther back if a steering caster is to be added to the front.

The total cost for frame, enclosure, and wheel assemblies was under $150.00.
