How Do You Put a Golf Cart in a Short Bed Truck?

For those who need to transport their golf cart from one place to another, the idea of putting it in a short bed truck may seem like a daunting task. After all, the most common way to transport a golf cart is via trailer. However, it is possible to put a golf cart in a short bed truck with the right preparation and some creativity.

Step 1: Prepare the Truck

The first step is to prepare the truck. Make sure that the tailgate and bed of the truck are securely closed and locked.

If you have an adjustable tailgate, lower it so that it’s as close to the ground as possible. This will make it easier for you to get the golf cart in and out of the truck later on. Additionally, make sure that your truck has tie down points either on its bed or sides so that you can securely tie down your golf cart while transporting it.

Step 2: Prepare Your Golf Cart

Once your truck is ready, you can prepare your golf cart for loading. Make sure that all four wheels are firmly attached and that all tires are properly inflated.

Additionally, check for any loose or broken parts which may cause damage during transport. If everything looks good, then you can proceed with loading your golf cart into the truck bed.

Step 3: Load Your Golf Cart

Depending on how tall your golf cart is, you may need an extra set of hands for this step. Start by pushing your golf cart up against the tailgate until it’s securely rested against it at an angle that allows for easy entry into the truck bed. Once you’re sure that everything is in place, take advantage of any handles or grab bars on either side of your golf cart and lift it up into the truck bed while someone else helps guide it in from behind or below (if necessary). Once your golf cart is safely inside of the truck bed, secure it with tie downs at each corner and make sure they’re tightened firmly so there’s no movement during transit.

Once everything looks secure and safe to transport, you should be good to go! Conclusion: Putting a golf cart in a short bed truck does require some preparation and creativity but if done correctly can be just as effective as using a trailer for transportation purposes. By following these simple steps outlined above anyone should be able to successfully load their golf carts into their trucks with minimal effort!
