This is a general post.. We would like everyones input .
We bought a nice home built enclosed trailer for a very good price .
This is a small Trailer 48" x 44" x 105"
We want to install a second level shelf so we can stack karts.
What we need to find out is , the height of different karts , at the steering wheel and at the seat back .
We want to be able to transport most any vintage kart stacked two high .
A width input would also be helpful .
This might be a good post for all ....
Thanks
Brian and Dottie

Re: Trailer
WKA rules used to state 26" max height. Most karts are well under that in the 22" range. Give yourself some room so you don't mess up a steering wheel.

Re: Trailer
Brian,
The width should allow for 40 inches at the rear wheels. I think this used to be the maximum allowed. You can stagger the karts if you load them from the back. I alwaws use 24 inches for height.
I once had a two place snowmobile trailer that I built a double deck kart hauler on. It was about the size that you got. I loaded the karts from the side and got at least 4 karts and a lot of other stuff in it. Most of you know that I carry too much stuff to races. The only picture I have doesn't show the side with the doors.

Re: Trailer
48" width to accomodate the B/C-Opens was the norm for many years before things got really crazy... now they as wide as they are long...
