Dob trolley

David,

Suggest you try Bunnings, they have lots of trolleys (which they call "dollies"). These are meant for moving heavy things like fridges and washing machines. Look for "dollies" in their catalogue. You just screw the dolly/trolley to the Dob base. I have done this with my 10" Dob. Suggest you don't get one with very small wheels, which tend to get stuck on uneven ground. Also, go for one with brakes. Otherwise the base will move around once in position.
These Bunnings trolleys are quite robust and you couldn't make one yourself for the price they are selling at (well under $100).
Good luck.

Peter
