Hi
Built 2 of these at home
2x4 softwood sleepers, 50mm angle iron rails, wielded together to length, v up, drilled and screwed to sleepers
Steel v wheels, from ebay, to suit rails
I have design for platform, mine clad with 6x 8x4 sheets of shuttering ply 18mm, planted with non slip paint (sand text)
1x toolstation winch, modified with extra long drum and extended control cable
Pulley beyond end of rails, pulls out and back
Bump stop at end of travel, winch hard against to secure platform
Very important to have rails dead flat at landing position to ensure all wheels in solid contact. No ground resonance
Overall cost ?, sub £1000 ?
Can send drawings and images
I land 1650 kg turbine, every few days for 8+ yrs
