Author	Topic:   Power Dolly Design Help
cc378	posted 05-25-2015 01:20 PM ET (US)         I am in the process of building a power dolly to move my Outrage 20 into its garage without using my truck. There is not enough room for the trailer and truck. I have seen a lot of 12volt deigns. My preference is to make mine with a 110v a/c motor and an extension card. Can anyone recommend an appropriate AC motor and point me to a wiring diagram? I need to wire it for forward and reverse... Thanks Stephen

Maybe you could include a davit motor and its belt driven gearing as an already made solution. Wiring diagram comes with the switch or is online. I have seen similar systems pull small planes into a hanger. Chuck

There have been several on the site over the last month or so, some had pictures of the motor's label.

After that its just a matter of putting the proper pulley sizes on the drive wheel and the motor. You need a small one on the motor and a larger one on the axle (wheels)
