How To Make a Quick Pallet Cart / Trailer - 1,000 lbs + Capacity!

This is a fast and easy project, to make a pallet cart / trailer either full size or just use a portion of a pallet, depending on your needs. You can keep a few pre-drilled pallets around and use them for different needs, without having to buy more tires, nuts and bolts, since it's so fast and easy to move the gear around from one pallet to another.

I use this to move heavy trash barrels full of compost, blocks and bricks, and other stuffy weighing hundreds of pounds, up to around 1,000 pounds.

Get some 10" tires with bearings, at a discount store or on CL, some threaded rods or bolts around 5/8" (or whatever the appropriate size is for your tires) and some nuts. You can nail sides onto these carts, or tie bungees to them, to keep your stuff in place without falling off. Then you can use different pallets (or portions of them) to move whatever you need.

It's great for attaching to a tractor or an ATV, too. Just be sure to use some heavy duty rope (or a couple of them, or chains).

This is a super fast project anybody can do, probably in a half hour, and when you're done, toss the pallet (or use it for another project), and keep the tires and gear to use for other projects.

It's great to move heavy stuff across a big yard or land, when you can't use a pickup, and you don't feel like filling up your yard with more trailers and carts of different types.
