Cart Carrier For Groceries

Cart Carrier for Groceries FARM HOME Food 16-6-28 "Now we don't have to load groceries in and out of the car. We haul them home in 'the cart and then roll the cart right into our kitchen," says Ignatius Danler, Kingman, Kan., who put a carrying ramp on the back of his car to carry his customized grocery cart back and forth from the grocery store. Danler made the carrying ramp out of expanded metal and angle iron and mounted it on top of a 2-in. dia. pipe that sticks off the back of a bracket attached to the rear bumper. The ramp pivots up and down on the pipe. To load the cart, one end of the ramp is lowered to the ground. Once the cart is rolled on, the ramp pivots up parallel to the ground and a long pin slips through locking loops on the legs of the cart as well as brackets on the ramp and the bumper bracket. To unload, you just pull the pin and roll the cart off. To adapt a standard grocery cart to his carrying system, Danler installed new legs and rollers on a standard cart. To protect the groceries when driving home from the store, he made a custom-fitted tarp that slips over the cart. For more information, contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Ignatius Danler,423 W.E.
