I built a 4-grocery bag sized trailer for my dad and his wife for his Jazzy Power Chair for warm weather grocery shopping. The basket is an Elfa shelf system #3 sized basket. I machined the 3-axis hitch (roll, pitch and yaw or turn) and trailer draw bar out of 6061 aluminum with a steel eye rolling in a 1018 steel pitch axis rotation pin. The trailer hitches up using the smooth shank section and head of a cut down 5/8″ dia. bolt and it is retained with a 1/8″ dia. hair pin. The 14″ dia. semi-pneumatic ball bearing wheels were bought from McMaster-Carr. The basket is attached to the axle/draw bar unit with small hose clamps whose tails are turned downwards to insure the interior of the basket remained totally snag free.

Testimonial from Max, 96, on his take of the success of American Access, leaders in the modular wheelchair ramp market. American Access is #1 in manufacturing, sales, and rentals of aluminum modular wheelchair ramps.
