KH Beam Hauler

[NRS91]

Ahh nice!
Just looked like your heavy dolly under the back of the box which is why I asked

[Bo Wallen]

Good eye. Yes. the only dolly with lo-pros ( not in use ) that was available for mock-up

[Bo Wallen]

The upgrade continues.

Now it's a proper single 20-foot container on a 40-foot chassis.

Thanks, Emil. We might be able to do some trucking later this year, now while you live in the US.

New additions to the fleet are looking sharp.

I must have missed the Pete-rod with skull shifter.

Thanks, Sir. The Pete rod belongs to a very creative friend. He has a bunch of cool stuff; Some can be seen on the videos from Cabin Fever.

Bo moves into general haulage...

10 mins later...

"How many containers can I fit on one truck?"

will look good towing the B Double! May need a H dolly to be as maneuverable as the beam haulers though!

Cool picture!

Now when all data is collected and the design ar set. There will be some interesting manufacturing taking place.

First, a couple of these will be made.

[IMG]IMG_6210 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

A bunch of these with a small modification.

[IMG]IMG_2563 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Someone’s getting a Christmas card from Tamiya Looking forward to see the result.

[NRS91]

This is the turntable bearing I use.
40x60x3mm size suits the tamiya chassis width nicely

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07GCCTF61

I use it instead of a fifth wheel on my tandem axle dolly as I have a hinged drawbar.

[Bo Wallen]

It could be fun with a Christmas card from Tamiya Emil, you are in charge of that now

NRS91. Good Idea. That's what I'm doing. While I figure how to secure for driving around and break them apart for traveling, I'm making BabyMoon hubcaps.

The build can start.

I have a Keyhole shaped hole in the centre of the turntable so you slot in then pull the dolly forward to lock it in place then it is secured with a slide in "blade" that slides across in front of the king pin

[egronvold]

Would those hub caps work for regular duallies too?

[Bo Wallen]

NRS91 Good idea, I will try that. Emil, Yes......sort of. The caps come in a huge variety, Some hardware stores Lowes, and Home Depot have them. I get them from this company: http://www.pro-dec.com/screw-caps-sc.../8-8-snap-caps They have a bit low profile and sit a bit high caused of the axle and lock nut. I put a dab of plumbers putty inside and press them on. the putty stays tacky over a long time, so they stay on.
