Wooden Pallet to wheel cart Cam Trolley WOODWORKING DIY Mobile Pallet Wagon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Up cycling an old wooden pallet using woodworking skills create to a mobile cart or all terrain camera trolley from repurposed or reclaimed wood takes less than an hour with the proper approach. This version will support up to 600 pounds and has a near perfect straight path. There are several upgrades to this cart including a double wheeled version that rides along a wooden rail for smooth camera flow over rough terrain. This is also a great shop tool that allow you to load items and haul off. Because the profile is that of a pallet, an additional pallet can simple be set on top of the attached pallet allowing for easy removal of the loaded pallet with a forklift or manually. This reclaimed wood working project requires a medium skill level an will provide man years of service.
I lost track of you since 12 years ago or so.. Nice to see one of you helpful videos again.!
Thank you. Im making a coffee cart using home depot cabinets and you taught me the axel part
Awesome upgrade Dan! Liked!
Thank you Grant!
Hello The King of Random and GREENPOWERSCIENCE.
I Am The Sqoou !!!
I am a subscriber and enjoy all the videos you share, but prefer your videos like this one more than the solar videos. You have a knack for making thing in a very easy and low cost manner and are very good at explaining how to make them in very short videos. Much appreciated.
This will make a great little "Fred Flintstone" car for my 8 year old grandson. I'll add a little front rack and pinion for turning. A good summer project for the both of us to work on. Thank you Dan.
Super talented DIY artist. ❤
Pretty slick. Never seen anyone use a whole pallet before. Most people tear them apart
This is great! Gonna have to try this!
Rob Dyke i bet you said the same the first time u seen a naked guy
Nice project. Big 👍 Stay safe, Joe Z
the thread and the PVC now that smart !!
Ingenious! Great project, and so simple.
Came across this at just the right time. Thanks
Looks good. You go Dan.
so simple this grandma is gonna give it a try
Great project that would be assume for use in my green house Thanks for the Ideas!
Thank you for the nice comment. Great channel by the way!
great video.
This is a great idea thanks for sharing
Dan, Thanks for the video. I have 4 of those tires and have been studying how to bolt a sheeve/pulley or a cog to them so I can drive them. I look forward to seeing your solution.
I have some old pallets, great idea. I have to say the wheel axle's looked over engineered, but seemed to work well.
Nice.Now build a solar car,that pallet base will support all what you need and add some steering.That would be great ride..
great vid Dan!
The ultimate camera mount... Ask Denise for this awesome toy...
I would love to see the videos you could make with this... : )
DJI Phantom, Fly Hard
If you make it steer and make the mechanism follow one 4X2, you half your timber cost for track. Let some air out the tires and it should smooth out the ride too.
And the video doubles as an easy way for a kid to make a box cart. :D
Que bueno quedo ese carretón, se ve muy resistente, y practico para diferentes usos, muy creativa su idea felicitaciones!
Looking forward to the 2000 pounder!
Freddy Flores Working on it. The first heavy hauler failed. Design correction and video in the works.
professional video.
thanks for the inspiration
Amazing. Got a granny cottage for rent? I'll do ALL your audio/video editing. I've raised hunting and guard dogs. They DESERVE unending attention in their time of need. Really. Best to you, Thanks for taking time to reply Dan.
Old Wooden Pallet Upcycle
It looks like you have a lot of fun " big kids"
very cool!!
I am waiting now to see your steerable one. I want to build one to hook to my lawn tractor.
That was a good idea
Wonderful
Great job! I like to watch your videos this really interesting stuff. what was really cool when you had the water dancing on that frying pan And specially with that music¿¿ nice job. back to pallet job I could use one of those myself just for work around the yard. I need to use 1 axel that turns. 5 stars on that project. From Paul W.
Gread job, maybe heavy duty swivel / caster wheels?
You can use electrical conduit for the axle too
You must have a degree in engineering! Great video!
Great idea, and something that can be used for many things.
Take care

Nice.
Nice!
I would have thought you would have planned to use nuts and washers on the all thread to secure the wheels.
I’m curious could this stillwork if I need a base at 64w x 64L inch ?😅
I'm trying the same project today. I bought the same exact PVC/wheels and the half inch threaded steel wont fit. I'm going with 7/16 steel instead
Excelente
This looks great. Would it be possible to make something similar that could be steered (the wheels could turn)? I'm trying to find a way to make a simple base for a large pop up dog crate, that could be used as a pet stroller. I have a big dog who can't walk any more and needs to lie down. I bought the biggest pet stroller available, the pet gear expedition, and he fits in it but can't stretch out. It was not designed for dogs that can't sit up for long periods of time. Something that could just have a regular pop up crate strapped to it would be perfect.
you should have done a shot from Mars, as the next generation of rovers
do you think i could use this as a base for a diy pop up motorcycle camper? I's add some fold out floors and the top would be canvas
Hi I was wondering what size screws you used thank you
It’s 3/24/2022. This build now costs $210 US Dollars. I should know. I bought all the parts, even the wood at HD. No, I couldn’t get used skids. Even the stores are keeping them and selling them because of the price of wood.
It’s best to get yourself a chainsaw and a harbor freight milling machine. Start a tree removal business. Sell the wood you cut down in slabs. Trust me, you will make it! Hopefully, you’re in the south.
Not sure how you fit a 1/2" CPVC inside of a 1/2" PVC tube. Or did you mean fit a 1/2" CPVC (0.84" OD) inside a 3/4' regular PVC (0.82" ID) and the paddle bit would be 7/8" instead of the 5/8" you state in your video? Please clarify
That's really cool! Do you think not having a full length axel would give it better ground clearance? I have an uncle in Florida that reminds me your varied passions!
What part of FL, we are near Tampa. You could use individual wheel/bearings. The weight load should sit on top of the wheel configuration vs a side attachment.
POST THE STEERING CART AND MOTORISED CARTS
WOW. I've been sending out a bunch of private emails to my friends about all the money saving and tech ideas you offer. This is another one of your DOABLE projects. I have an associate that is into that also. He has a site called "John Strabismus". I don't remember if I ever mentioned him to you. He just wrote and reminded me I've mentioned YOU a number of times. SO I thought I might just mention him to you . He doesn't have anywhere near the resources you have by any means or the video editing and all that, but he sure knows how to squeeze the worth out of a nickle so hard it makes the buffalo defacate! He isn't pushing any products or ANYTHING like that. He is a real home boy. Guy sure can make some killer solar foods. I know. He sent me some. I was wondering if in your solar projects if any birds or vermin came into the path of those 400 trillion watts of solar beams you create? Also, great idea on this trailer! Especially for rough terrain video cart. Dude, where do you get the energy? As always Dan, ROCK ON or else.....we'll hurt cha bad...
Sounds like an interesting person. The birds avoid the short foal length stuff and the super long "death rays" are never operational unless we are using them. Energy is purely stress:-) Been working 9-14 hours a day, taking care of our oldest dog constant attention, gets stuck in corners etc., rebuilding the engine on the forklift, 90000000 other things to do. I am trying follow through on 600+ projects I have written down. None are really easy hack stuff so detailed info = hard to compile video. We should start averaging 3 or more videos a week, if all goes well. Hope all is good with you.
Dan
Cant you find a piece of all thread to fit the wheel bearing? And the auto parts store should have bushings if not. Just saying the plastic pipe may not last long. Brass bushings would work better maybe.
I want something like this just with like 4 chairs
Nice build. Any chance youll be making a gimbal to go with the trolley?
The gimbal would be for a camera large than a small gopro cam. I have a bunch of Merkle-Korff geared motors that work on variable voltage DC so because of the hefty ration, they should be smooth. Looking to attach a boom to a weighted pallet on a 100 ft 2x4 track in my front yard.
I had pallets on top of each stacked and they got warped. How do i prevent that
Pallets for moving stuff are temporary, for a project like this a simple clear coat of spray paint works perfect. You do not need to drench although that works too. An outdoor latex paint also works.
Checkout video free to get one of those. extremely cheap to convert it. in general do a lot of work with ,make big work a little smaller.
600lbs capacity? Uh, hate to say that PVC axle isn't up to such a load...
smart...
How much do the wheels cost
Looks like you're one step away from a velocipede, or hand-car!
Divertido!
What is that music?
Why not use your threaded rod and bolts for the axles with some flat washers? Seems that could make the build easier.
I think weatherproofing would be an issue. Getting the 5/8 rod would prevent the wheels from wobbling or he could even cut the rings for the wheels so that's the only thing i can think of.
Next: build it with pellets
1/2" all thread rod DID NOT fit inside 1/2" CPVC...
Costs less than $40 IF you don't have to buy the wheels @ $30 each
harbor freight sells wheels for 15 bucks with axles in them.
mount 4 to a piece of plywood and done. 10 minutes.
Where have you bought the tires?
Harbor Freight has them and you can get them on the internet too.
stodoys instructions is full of awesome tips. Very helpful to me.
I’ve also bought a bunch of instructions, plans and tutorials online. If you’re just starting out I'd get Hyezmar’s Woodworking Bible before he starts selling it!
Now...ride it down a hill :D
you see i need a car. but im not buying one and not going 2 pay for that gas....we could all say that much. lol if you could make one for under 100$ that i could use like a car that be cool. i just need one for getting form place 2 home 711 r other place like that.
put a motor on it..lol
Try not to use a blonde pallet.
I've heard good feedback about the Stodoys plans.
Not practical at all end result is ,it’s too dam heavy with all that wood make something practical
ok this is garbage
