Would this work in a golf cart or is there an automatic shutoff that would be tripped when bumps were hit?

There's a tilt sensor (switch) connected a wire that go the the gas valve. The tilt sensor sensor is designed to switch off the gas when the heater is tilted approx. 45 degrees from gravity, zero degrees. The tilt sensor also responds to being jolted without being tilted. Another problem you could run into under high winds is the pilot light may blow out. When the pilot light goes out the ODS shuts off the gas same as the tilt sensor.

I heard Mr. Heater is coming out later this year with a heater specifically designed for golf carts

For golf carts use the Mini Buddy. There is even a cup holder adapter for it. Look it up!

It could work OK since the demo video says the "tip-over shut-off" should turn it off with it turned about 45 degrees. So rolling down or up a hill shouldn't kill it (if it's not too steep), yet impacts from a bump is hard to say if that would trigger it or not. Just be careful about securing it and not having things that can burn too close to it in the direction the heat is aimed.

It would shut off more than likely and if it's breezy it will blow out the flame

Forget it! Put on another layer of clothing or don't go golfing. This heater hasn't been designed, in my opinion, to be use in moving vehicles.

I would say no. We take ours to football games, and a couple of times it flamed out when the crowd got to stomping their feet. I'm sure it wouldn't work in a moving golf cart.

Search on "golf cart heater" here on Amazon. Mr. Heater makes them as do other companies.

Check the safety brake - the black plastic mudflap in front of the support bar that you put your left hand on. If that thing gets bumped, the motor shuts off and never starts again until it's moved back.

I live on a farm and we use golf carts to get around. We use this opener for electric gates and they work great; however, after using them for a while, the battery starts weakening and distance becomes a problem. At that point, we just need to be closer to the unit. The average distance for our use is about40-50 feet. Golf carts don't have too much metal to interfere with transmission. The one in my car operates gates from at least 4o feet on a good battery. Might want to check your battery.

I believe it should work on a golf cart cover. The problem will be how "bumpy" the surface is you are repairing. If you can a way to put it on a flat surface and then roll the patch on both sides of the cover, I think it will work. Good luck

As long as your accessory plug is 12 volt, you're good. I can't imagine that they would have an access plug in any vehicle that wasn't 12 volt. The voltage of the vehicle shouldn't matter as the access. plug will have been regulated to 12v.Please remember you would have to mount this as it is made to be a stable tabletop model. I can't see this as really being good for a golf cart; however, I don't know how you mean to use it. Hope that helps.

It auto shuts off and I believe auto turns on based on movement of the wheel.

No it won't work unless you have an extended top on the golf cart. That is the ONLY way it will work. I tried EVERYTHING and NOTHING worked.

It could easily be used from a golf cart. All you need is a place for it to set securely and an electrical source.

No. The batteries are in series typically 36 or 48 volt systems. If you were to hook this up to only one 12v battery in a golfew cart it would drain the battery unevenly and damage that battery

While I have no exact information on it, I don't see why not. It's such a simple installation, that it should be able to be used on anything with a battery source. I'm not sure if Golf carts are the same voltage or not. I'd contact the folks at Gorilla to ask that question. Just go to their website, and hit the support tab. Send 'em a message. They're very good about responding. If the voltage isn't a question, it should be fine. I'm thinking about putting one of these on my Jeep!

It has a knob that you can turn up or down. Our golf cart has a cover also and we can heat it up with the cover on and even turn it off and the cart stays warm. Hope this helps.

as long as the golf cart is 36 volts it will work fine if there is 3 battery's you art charging it should be ok. but if charging one battery Yes

My cart would cut out going up a hill and the run away feature would not work. I replaced my speed sensor, you will need to take the right rear wheel off to replace it. Now he cart runs great, I have some steep inclines on my property and it now traverses with no problem, also the run away feature works. No I am confident that I can lift my cart and add some aggressive tires for traction up and down the hills.

they are not designed for that type of use. it would probably work but if your using mc-4 connectors they are not that easy to disconnect. you would be better off using the quick disconnects found on golf carts or electrict paleet jacks and forklifts, since they are designed for that type of use.

Amp rating is 100A continuous and 500A in a 10 second burst. Im unsure of the voltage limit but id guess your golf cart wont be pulling more than 100A. I use this switch for my dedicated race car.

The cart does not have a brake per se, but the electric motor does provide a slowing effect like when you take your foot off the gas in a car. I have not had any problem with a runaway sensation with my cart.
