Golf Cart On An Open Trailer?

Joe Marcinowski · 09-06-2015, 12:24 PM

Does anybody haul a golf cart on a open trailer? I would think it would try to rip the roof off. Lets hear your experiences.

Joe,
Was thinking the same thing and one day I saw an open trailer load of them on the Interstate. I once hauled one close to 600 miles in the back of a pickup. No problems with the roof on cart that time either.

X2 transported our Yamaha G-1 in the back of my Pick-up.
On older models w/1-pc roofs, you should back them in or onto a trailer!

If you drive them in, Add short motorcycle tie-downs to secure the roof struts to the cart.
If not the TOP WILL FLIP OPEN!
OUCH!

Thanks for the responses. I was thinking of hauling it on the trailer sideways in front of the car.

Same here. Think a pad for the front wheels or a stop might need to be created to drive up against on loading.

A friend of mine, Brian Thompson, hauls his golf cart on an open trailer. If any of you were at Brainerd he was there. His trailer is a 2 car open trailer with the golf cart in between them during travel. He can be contacted here, his user name is fordteacherguy. I don't know for sure if he has ever had any issues hauling it, better check with him.
