DIY Sluice trolley

G'day all.
I have been doing a bit of prospecting lately and I was getting sick of doing 2 or 3 trips to the car to get all my gear so I had a sit down and a think( and a couple of coldies) and came up with this bad boy.
I still have a couple of things to add like a mount for Jerry can and brackets for the hoses.

Let me know what you think or a suggestion for mounts .

Looks good mate, Aussiefarmer made one like that a while ago, very similar.

Good stuff! Go the DIY! :Y:

Very neat job. Well done.

Thanks guys. I wish I had of seen aussiefarmers post before hand he done a great job! Although he's is a little more complicated and I'm not that good of a welder?

looks good mate well done :Y: :Y: :Y: :Y: :Y:

Outstanding! Totally copying :Y:

Nah thats a lovely job :Y: , i will admit mine has one floor :8 when it rolls down a steep gutter if i am in front of it towing instead of breaking it can come under the point of pull and chase my heels and it does hurt when it catches my foot . Leaving the trolley full lenth will stop it going under the arc of pull and prevdent the issue.
Mine is short so it goes under the roller door whilst on the ute and also prevent low tree limbs snagging it :lol:

You may want to add rubber bungs or a larger foot pint as i have seen mine vibrate and move enough to tip over once .
Well done and go and get it dirty :Y: :Y:

And also if thats a new trolley tighten the bolts that hold the wheels together as they will vibrate loose and send the bearings crooked

Thanks for the advice Aussie farmer will take that into account.Nah it's an old trolley just spiffed it up with abit of super cheap green hahaha

Morning all ! Just a quick update on trolley. Took it out for it's maiden run and had a blast. Had to stop a couple of times dragging it back up the hill but wouldn't change a thing ( except the cable ties on fuel basket as 2 broke ) but it still beats doing a few trips back to the rig.

Do you carry the device in a trailer or on the back of the fourby?

Just in the back of 4x4. It fits in good standing up leaning back on the seat.

Love both trolleys, that end of the day pack up is backbreaking, especially mid-summer and it's still sitting close to 35C or so at dusk and you only then realise how far away you parked, and then how far away the first cold beer is.....

Will definitely have to copycat you blokes. God help me with all the smaller tools and tubs/buckets, sieves and pans I tend to carry with me lol

Haha that picture is hilarious and how I felt all the time. Copycat all you like it makes the day easier for sure

That's a small tailings pile... dig more

Hahaha yes it is . I should have taken photo at the end of the day not first thing
