Old Motorhome Generator Mounted On Wheeled Cart To Make Portable Power Unit
 ✖  |
Curtis Footh, Stanley, N. Dak.: “I used Deere baler belting to make a loader-mounted sling. Works great for maneuvering vehicles up onto my service rack. It’s similar to the slings found on old auto wreckers and is built strong – it’ll lift a 2 1/2-ton truck with no problem.
“A pipe across the bottom with steel hooks on it attaches to the vehicle’s frame. Vertical strips of 1-ft. wide, 3-ft. long baler belting form the sides, with more belting and chain hooks on top.
“I mounted an old motorhome generator on a homemade wheeled cart to make a portable power unit. The generator is bolted to an angle iron frame with a metal loop on top, allowing me to lift it into the back of my pickup. The gas tank is off an old outboard motor and sets inside a cradle, making it easy to keep fresh gas in the tank. An electric fuel pump is clamped to the tank’s handle and wired to the battery. The generator is out of a Dodge motorhome and has a 3,000-watt output.
“I made a dumpster out of an old fuel tank. It stands on wood blocks and I hinged the top 1/4 of the tank, putting a handle to lift it. Metal rails tack-welded to to top edge reinforce the tank and cover the sharp edges.”
