Why Go-Kart Storage Matters
Storing your go-kart properly protects it from damage, maintains performance, and ensures safety—part of good maintenance.
Go-Kart Storage Options
Garage Storage
An attached garage offers protection and easy access. Add a garage alarm for security, and regularly inspect your kart’s chain, fuel lines, and brakes before storing.
Tool Shed Storage
A large tool shed works well—use vertical racks to save space. Ensure the door is lockable and consider an alarm for added security.
Secure Storage Unit
Renting a storage unit is ideal if you lack space at home. Choose a unit that fits your kart and accessories, balancing cost with security.
Vertical Storage
Short on space? Use a vertical rack in your garage or shed—typically needing just 3 x 4 x 6 feet—to store your kart upright against a wall.
Preparing Your Go-Kart for Storage
- Clean Thoroughly: Remove dirt and debris to prevent rust.
- Inspect and Repair: Check chain tension, fuel lines, and brakes—tyre care.
- Drain Fluids: For water-cooled karts, drain water to avoid freezing damage.
- Safety Checks: Ensure brakes, tyres, and harnesses are in good condition.

Transporting Your Go-Kart
Use a truck or van to transport your kart from storage to the track. Secure it with straps on a proper loading ramp to prevent movement. A go-kart trailer offers both storage and transport convenience, protecting your kart during travel.
Innovative Storage Ideas
- Go-Kart Trailers: Store and transport your kart easily with an enclosed trailer.
- DIY Racks: Build custom racks to fit your space, adding tool storage if needed.
