  • All Terrain Battery Cart Design?

    Just wondering what you other installers are using to transport solar batteries in rough terrain. I'm trying to save our technician's back. Most of our installs involve transporting batteries by boat or barge, to islands on Georgian Bay , Lake Huron. We're looking for a premade cart or a design for one we can make built of aluminum . Terrain is usually irregular bedrock slopes. sometimes concrete , rock or wooden stairs . We are thinking something with 4- pneumatic tires, 2- that steer . Possibly with battery propulsion on one axle. I'd appreciate hearing what you have used , or would suggest. Thanks! Glen ....in Parry Sound ,Ontario, Can.

    Hi fundseeker and welcome to Solar Panel Talk.

    I havnt had any of the type of issues that you seem to have. Just been lucky so far I guess. Maybe someone might chime in who has had to deal with similar logistical issues. Good luck with it, cheers

      look at the wagons / carts plant nurserys use, they often have large balloon tires, but limit is 400#

      or maybe a ATV cart/trailer ?
