2 Rigs Outside Shed

***Important*** Alpha and Beta Carts Wolftrack Dog Carts are not intended for racing or competition. They are fabricated to be used for the recreational dry land musher only. Due to the weight of these steel carts, it is not intended for single dog teams. A general guideline is that pulling dogs can comfortably pull about two and a half to three times it’s own weight. That is the combined weight of the rig plus rider. Some can easily do more and others may refuse to pull. Please keep this in mind as you review this information.

The K 9 Cruiser, the Quad Cruiser and the 29/26 Scooter all qualify as racing competition rigs..

How much do the dog carts weigh?

The Alpha rig weighs 80# and the Beta rig weighs 75#

What are the dimensions of the carts?

The alpha model is approximately 42” wide to outside of the wheels and about 5ft long. This model has 8” wide foot platforms with a 16” wide opening between them. The beta model is approximately 34” wide to outside of wheels and the same length. This model has 6” wide foot platforms and 11” wide opening between them.

Do they have brakes?

Yes, each model comes with bar-style foot-operated friction brakes which engage both rear tires. Stepping harder on that same bar applies the parking brake for safety. There is a quick way to release the parking brake to proceed.

Do the dog carts fold down?

No, the dog carts do not fold down but they do come apart easily by removing one ¾ inch pin that holds the fork to the base. This allows for ease of transportation and takes up less space in your vehicle. They fit easily in the back of most SUV’s , or on a rear hitch carrier. Assembly

Do they come in different colors?

The deck of each rig will be black. You can choose the color of the front fork. I use Rustoleum Enamel spray paint. Whatever color that is available from my local vendors can be a color choice. I will only use what is locally available to keep cost down. Upgraded powder-coat paint available on Alpha and Beta for an additional $125.

Are there additional options?

Yes, for an extra charge I can add a small water bowl shelf [about 9” by 12”] Either model has an optional drop-in section to convert to a full deck.

What if a tire goes flat?

I buy the tires from Tractor Supply Company. You can get replacement tires and replacement wheel bearings from this store.

Can they be shipped?

Yes. the steel rigs are shipped with UPS GROUND in 2 separate boxes the 29/26 scooter also with UPS GROUND , the K9 Cruiser and Quad Cruiser go LTL freight in a box and on a skid to a freight dock near you for pickup
