Prescott Valley, AZ - Two Quad-city residents have invented a way to make moving storage containers easier, quicker and more affordable. The trick: turn the container into its own trailer.

That is genius. Great way to move empty containers to a new location without a lot of equipment. Would make it easy for people building tiny homes, storage buildings, etc from empty containers. Now we need to get Harbor Freight to make a version!

No. That setup will work well for repositioning one on a lot but not for moving one on a road. It can pull the container into places that a big truck can't fit into.

I built a dolly for carrying containers a while ago. Mounted high, over wheels to keep it under the 8'6" limit. I'd have preferred low, but the wide load permitting wasn't worth it. I mid mounted mine, with bolts and straps to secure it in place. Mid mounting the wheels also improves maneuverability, and allows a light weight tow vehicle without insane tongue weight. Are those 3500 lb axles? Probably OK got carrying half the weight of the container, but not the whole weight of the container. I've seen a few over width containers (8'6", or 10'). Your design looks expandable enough to move them. I see lights, but no wires. Wireless with battery? What about brakes? The rear wheel appears to have drums.

@JW...-oj5iw5 жыл бұрын
It does have a "breaking" system in place. The roof of the container could crack and crumple if the assembly takes a hard enough bump and the metal has fatigued. You know, like Khan. As to your assertion that anything over 750 kgs (750kg) needing a "breaking" system which is obviously a misnomer (braking is correct), the weight you have indicated is pathetically low. In English measure, 750kg translates to approx. 1650#. For those of you who don't get that, it is the designation for pounds, not hashtags, in this circumstance. Over here, we tow cars and trucks of varying weights. Few, if any, weigh less than 1650#. Even though virtually all have brakes, the towing vehicle rarely activates the towed vehicle's brakes. In the case of a heavy duty wrecker towing a truck with a semi trailer attached, the towing vehicle often has hookups to use the semi trailer's brakes in conjunction with the wrecker's. The same hookups are used when towing a semi trailer without a truck in between. The extensions, of course, are not used in a direct tow of the semi trailer. Now, all this stuff is to point out that the braking systems in use on towed vehicles are limited to air brakes linked to the towing vehicle's air braking system. Any combination of vehicles far exceeds 1650# even in the lightest circumstances. I don't have a data chart on hand, but I think it's safe to say that any conventional car weighs in excess of 2000#. Most, well in excess. As to the fact that cars are equipped with brakes, towing them correctly with a tow truck requires that the brakes are inactive during the tow. IMHO, the devices demonstrated in the video are designed for use in a very limited area to precisely place a container in a location that isn't readily accessible by conventional methods. Even though it could feasibly be used on the road, it doesn't have adequate ground clearance to accommodate the highs and lows it would encounter.

I know this pertains to storage containers, but I wonder if you can make a tow dolly set up for a vehicle where you can put a set of wheels like that under the rear wheels of the vehicle you’re towing and then run a bar all the way up to the front where the Frame underneath the front can bolt to and then that same bar be the hitch that you took up to the truck or a vehicle that would mean that you can store the whole thing in a space that a full-size car trailer would not take up.
