motorcycle dyno.we got here moved!

That looks like it will be a PITA. Id use a different trailor if it were me.

Im not sure I understand what your doing with this Dyno. Moving it or storing it on the trailor Outside.??

You say your moving it but you may just leave it on the trailor and pull it around to tracks to dyno some bikes.

Are you going to desinate this trailor for the use of the dyno. If so I think you need to do some modifications first to the trailor. mike

Gettin that thang up with a hand job winch iz gunna be a MAJOR pita!!!!You gotta know someone with a flatbed to pick it up and slide it onto your trailer,or a wrecker with a boom to pick it up and set it on your trailer

Yeah, but your car has wheels. Pulling dead weight will be a different story, But still doable.

I wouldent like the idea of pulling the dyno over those ramps that will flex with all of those grip holes in them that will try to catch every knoke and cranny of the dyno base. And you have that same surface on the trailor too.

I suspect you Will have some problems, But if you have no time issues and plenty of beer you should be able to get the job done.

A good engine hoist just might be able to get the job done. I moved my 1500# printing press with one.

I was able to hoist it off the ground high enough to back my trailor undernieth it. This was after I slid it over 20 ft to the edge of the garage, By myself I might add. It probably would of handled another 300#

Useing the ramps as you suggest, I envision the ramps deflecting into a bow shape. Promoting the flat bed edges of the dyno base to Catch.
In every single one of those traction holes on the ramp on the Up slope side as you hand winch it on towards the trailor.
You will need a buddy with a tire iron to work in sinc with your winch pulls.

It should be a good beer drinking event/show IMO But I bet your up for it mike

i will put the dyno on the ramp and pull the ramp on to the trailer.the ramps are smooth on the bottom and will slid on the trailer frame.
the hand winch is not like a boat 1.it has a 2ft lever and i could put a longer bar on it if needed.

i am glad you understand better!
i dont know if i can back in or not.stay tuned and see i guess.
i wish i had some dyno video pulls to post.i just got my camera last yr.
Thanks all!
ere is a test of my enine video.

good luck moving that beast. can you drain the fluid from the drum?

I put dozens of pulls on a dyno very similiar to that, but we dynoed my prostock snowmobile motors. We removed the drive clutch and bolt it directly to the shaft. We dynoed after every change and you can see from the expansion chambers alone there were many.

sweet! i put the move off till saturday.i work friday. being a garbage man has no mercy.it was darn cold today too!
i thaught the drum was solid. 800+lbs
with those expansion chambers.have you herd of HMF.hanz muffler fabrication.

check into that drum, I almost remember my buddy talking about it h20 filled??
i asked him and it is solid.
what would water do unless you wanted a bigger drum with same weight.[something like that ]

we got here moved using a U haul that is narower to get up to the lift and wench it on.it went smooth on and off we put a pipe under it and it just rolled off. here we are picking it up.

we kept the wenh attached to hold it from sliding back into the gate.

1 more detail.sorry!here is the wench i used to drag it on.it has a reducer wheel to 2X the pulling power by pulling half the distance with each stroke.

Good , you used my suggestion and got a different trailor. That saved you alot of headaches for sure. Congrats on the succesfull move.

How much was it to rent the Uhaul?? I see thier small trucks renting for 19.99 for a day. Whats a small trailor go for?? mikre

it was 26$ with tax per day.[5X9' trailer]it took 4 hrs to move it load/unloaded.ya we took our time.i have been trying to get this done for weeks but my brothers ADHD meds were not right. i didn't want to upset the universe.
