My DIY MCV/ref IRL
Posted: Tue Jun 13, 2017 4:20 pm
Ok, this is a totally non related RA post and i'll try to make it like it is !
As many of you know, i'm Belgian immigrated in Paraguay for the past 3 years, Independent, owning and managing with my wife a snack-bar (see my snack bar like a main base but right know, the ore is depleted and barelly enought ore mine to sustain). In order to grab other source of income (ore-feild) i used the past 3 month to craft from scratch a food cart (like MCV/ref all in one) to expand and try to find other source of income (ore feilds). There is a juicy one in my city where a lot of people are already harvesting so i'm gonna get there too.
Part that i bought :
- Used moto wheel
- Suspension of motobike 2 pairs
- All the screws, bolts and torks
- Iron barrs differrents sizes
- Couple parts for the cart and the moto
- Product to treat and paint wood and metal
All the rest is recycled or items I already had. All the wood come from aold pallets and lots of the metal is from rest of previous build.
Keep in mind that i never worked metal or wood before getting in Paraguay, I'm learning along I'm working. I diden't follow any tutorial and got all the features just imagining and anticipating all i will have to do with that cart.
Let's see the beast in Photo :
The cart is composed of 3 main parts : The body, the trailer and the roof/cover.
The body is the main furniture, it include a deep fryer of 40 litre, store compartment and gaz tanks and gaz tube protected by rigid plastic tubes
The body and the trailer are assembled with bolts so i can separate them in case i have a definitive spot to let the cart and take back the trailer for other use.
It took me a lot of time to figure out how and to realize it but i included suspention and it's much more complicated to do it than it looks. I'm glad that i estimated correctly the weight for the suspention and estimated corrrectly the balance of the charge in the cart so it reach equilibrium once loaded.
The Draw bar is also Attached with bolt in case i still need to "hand-roll" it but i don't need more to move it with the bike. It feature an extra wheel, the couple part and an extra handle for manouvering confort.
The extra wheel is reall confy to hand-roll the cart and i made it to have a travel position.
And when it's in use, i made 4 feets to stabilize it, they come with a transport position as well.
For the mobile part, i customized my bike to tract the cart and I made a transport crate to move the product one way and i hope money the other way, see it as my ore truck.
Of, course i diden't do all by myself, i had an assistant.(not that helpfull though)
And for the eye candy, the deployement animation of the cart !
Hoping that will interest some of you and for the ones that doesn't, you can reply with a simple "i don't care, you suck !" without any offence taken.
I'll edit my post later to correct the text now it's time to eat.
