How to Move a Go-Kart

A go-kart is low, light, and easy to move in a truck bed or on a small trailer, but its low ground clearance and open frame need the right ramp and tie-down points. This guide covers loading a go-kart, strapping the frame so it cannot shift, and handling fuel, for both racing karts and off-road buggies-style karts.

Pro tip: A go-kart is light enough that two people can often lift a small one into a truck bed, skipping the ramp.

Watch out: Do not use a steep ramp with a low kart. The frame or exhaust can catch and get damaged.
