An interesting and environmentally cool variation in wagons is the use of
"boards" of weatherproof recycled
plastic. The Amish made
L&L wagon now from Hochstatler Welding LLC
is similar in size and design to popular wood wagons
except for the colors and slightly more weight-
enlarge picture.
Kingpin and tie rod no-tip steering and offset wheels
with a wide track (20") make for two sizes of stable wagons.
Recovered plastic "lumber" is assembled into white boards and plywood-like
sheets and built into a wagon bed over a full length powder-coated steel frame.
Flathead through bolts threaded into Pem™ fastener captive nuts
are used to hold the plastic racks together rather than staples and glue.
The red, blue or dark green colors are not as saturated as paint
but don't seem to fade and
are through the material. A novel trim feature is the application of
white pavement marking paint pinstriping with crystal grains
that make the trim reflective.
The wagon rides on
10" x 4" inch pneumatic tires on four inch steel wheels with 5/8 inch ball bearings with grease fittings.
A long 30" handle is comfortable for adults, and the end is peaked to
center over a 2" trailer ball.
Plastic is ideal for livestock feed or water hauling because it
will not rot and pony Kiaz won't chew on the wagon.
Three standard colors of plastic racks are offered: red, blue
or dark green, shown, each with a white bed. Allow more time for white rails.
L&L plastic wagon, 40" x 20 3/8" size, $295 Delivered. (LLP40PW_)
L&L wagons are also made in a larger plastic version with
a longer frame under a deck of 46" x 23": $315 Delivered.
(LLP46PW_). See the "BUY-QUOTE" button for similar other L&L wagons and
big tricycles.
EZ Spreader*, an Amish farm supply company, makes a
fiberglass bed wagon with superior
weather handling.
Enlarge picture.
The entire 20"x40" bed bottom is one formed piece of fiberglass,
with no wood in the bed.
Red painted hardwood racks then slide into the holders like most
other wagons as shown. We agree that God never
made fiberglass trees but fibrous-glass reinforced
epoxy plastic makes a great wagon.
The wagon bed is shaped like flanged tub with a shallow
1.25" of depth inside but a skirt of 2.75" around the sides.
The topside of the fiberglass has rounded contours and
a smooth, shiny white gel-coat finish (not paint).
Next to the unfinished bottom side of the fiberglass
is a red painted welded steel
undercarriage ready
to support the heavy loads. Real 10" x 4" air tires are on steel
wheels with 5/8" ball bearings with grease fittings.
Stable kingpin and tie-rod steering is connected to a
27.5" handle comfortable for most adults.
Own a "plastic fantastic" or "glass over four wheels" for less than
the cost of one alloy wheel on a Chevrolet Corvette- not included!
Red over white wagon:
$218 Delivered. (EZF4WPWR or EZF4ZPWC custom color racks)
A variation is wood free using red plastic racks.
$232 Delivered. (EZF4PPWR with red plastic racks)
Red wood racks over white is generally available in a week; allow
several weeks for many other color choice of wood racks.
Fiberglass is paintable to any color with automotive grade
paints and proper surface preparation.
Add a sporty and functional wagon top!
Look for accessory listings for your wagon and more on the
Accessory Page.
* This company also makes horse- drawn §#¥‡
spreaders for farms plus carts and wheelbarrows.
Prices with "Delivered." include ground shipping within the contiguous USA, use the "BUY-QUOTE" button for your total.
