Practical Macro inventions: Macro Transporter

Design and build according to Macro Principle No1.
1.It is ugly but it works
This practical transporter prototype works from me already 4 years like a dream,
replacing wheel barrow most of the time and saving a lot o effort in our hot climate.
Can carry up to 350kg (or more depending on wheel quality) uphill , downhill or in rough terrain.



Could carry bulk material or long stuff. converted in seconds
Low center of gravity provide ultimate stability and minimal effort to load/ unload or even tip.

Powered by 1000 W DC electric motor ( from discarded wheelchair)
Powered by 20 Ah 36V Lithium battery for electric bikes. Rechargeable in couple hours.
One charge last for few days work.



Speed controller from 0 to 8 km/h
and reverse switch.
Reverse useful for braking down hill -as mechanical brakes inbuild but sill not yet connected to handle bar.


I wish we could walk to Bunnings to buy one of those , ready for work of the shelve.
Cost of all material used below $500
Main idea here is universal moving platform. Dependable, expandable and strong.
Ideally, commercial version should be powered by 4 in wheel hub motors ( geared and with inbuild brakes) , for simplicity of construction.

Now I see why you need the helmet.

You may want one of those for your hunting trips trough bushes and savannas.
You could carry on 3 guru carcasses or small hippo.
I guess first to come will be made as attachment kit to your Ryobi battery 5Ah 36V in Bunnings.
Makita do already something similar, like electric wheel barrow kit.


but I like more design much better.
BTW for last 8 years i have two options:
1. Never ending landscaping around the home at GC ( when is not windy)
2> The obvious thing when is WINDY !!

Every time you invent something it makes me happy.

Dont let anyone crush your dreams , this is my most favourite thus far of your repurposed parts inventions.

The hard hat has promise so not too bad but this is a fully functional and working prototype

I like it, I rate it, for brickies and people doing limestone work or cement work this thing would save the backs of soooo many workers

I think I see what Macro is doing.

It is a cunning and ingenious plan.

A couple more posts like these and the mods will let everyone go back to arguing about chemtrails, covid and 9/11.

At least its posting something. Its a bit boring when people are happy to have a go at people's topics but don't bother posting their own.

Good on him!

(P.S. the mods have been gotten to, which is why they are not allowed to let us talk about important things like the moon landing.)
