In golf course operations, small vehicles (including golf carts, sightseeing vehicles, and utility vehicles) are essential tools for daily commuting and material transport.

In golf course operations, small vehicles (including golf carts, sightseeing vehicles, and utility vehicles) are essential tools for daily commuting and material transport. As the skeletal framework of these vehicles, the chassis plays a central role in connecting the drivetrain, supporting the upper structure, and carrying passengers.

 

Structural Composition: The chassis of small vehicles on golf courses typically consists of a combination of longitudinal beams and cross beams. The subframe extends along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, forming the primary load-bearing structure; cross tubes or cross members connect the longitudinal beams to enhance overall rigidity. Some subframe structures also include components such as underbody brackets, support brackets, and push-rod brackets, which together form a foldable or fixed chassis system. To accommodate the flexible operational needs of golf courses, many small vehicle subframes feature a foldable design, allowing the chassis to switch between unfolded and folded states for convenient storage and transportation.

 

Material Selection: The choice of materials for the undercarriage directly affects the vehicle’s weight, durability, and maintenance costs. Currently, the undercarriages of golf carts primarily use the following materials: traditional carbon steel, which is relatively inexpensive, welds well, and is widely used; and aluminum alloy, which is lightweight, requires no coating, and offers good corrosion resistance, making it increasingly popular in lightweight designs. Some chassis employ a hybrid steel-aluminum structure—with the main beams made of aluminum and the subframe made of steel—to balance strength and weight reduction. Additionally, die-cast aluminum alloys are used in chassis manufacturing to extend service life.

 

Functional Extensions: The undercarriage not only bears static loads but must also withstand dynamic impacts caused by the complex terrain of golf courses. Some undercarriages are designed with a height-adjustable mechanism that lowers the distance between the chassis and the ground, improving the vehicle’s maneuverability on slopes or uneven terrain.

 

The design of undercarriages for small golf course vehicles requires striking a balance between load-bearing capacity, weight reduction, durability, and manufacturing costs to meet the operational demands of the golf course environment.
