CARRY FREEDOM - Bamboo Trailer

Non-Profit Trailer for the Third World - The Bamboo Trailer was designed by Carry Freedom for use in the 3rd world. This simple but strong trailer is built locally from paper plans we supply.

What's revolutionary is that anyone can build this trailer, out of practically any material (including bamboo), with hardly any tools. Its length width and strength can be adapted, it can even be towed by a donkey, person, or moped. The Bamboo Trailers basic frame can be adapted to carry many things including; farmers produce, fire wood, water, and the sick to their nearest doctor.

Bikes offer people freedom of movement, and a bike trailer offers them the freedom to carry. The Bamboo Trailer will stimulate micro economies through its use and construction, thus helping people to lift themselves out of poverty.

Plan distribution is being funded by profits from our western trailer sales.

The trailer design is innovative because:
It is open source. The plans from the trailer are free to distribute. - Its simple. The trailer can be made with very simple tools and simple skills. - Its flexible. The trailers length width strength and materials can be varied. - Its strong. The trailer strength to weight ratio is near perfect. - Nothing is being sold, just distributed for free.


simple trailer from simple city

With simple tools and different materials you can build a trailer that is trail worthy and could also be pulled by hand or a donkey. It could be used in many ways. For example as ambulance or to carry your goods. The person who builds this trailer should be able to earn his livelihood with it. Carry Freedom and USED will subsidize the expensive parts like hitch and wheels by sales in the west. Help too - it feels good to help!
