Hi All,

I havee been looking at geting some wheels on my Dobie to make it more mobile.

I have seen the trolley DIY article and these trolleys are about $15-30

But i would prefer a flat bed so the dobie does not have to come off the trolley.
Looked at this one
http://www.hercules.com.au/ap150.htm I was quoted $120.

There are no brakes on the above one. I have also looked at these 2nd hand ones. I have these at work, for moving around PC's/Servers etc. The bigger one would fit the dobie base more so than the above ap150.

Has anyone got any other ideas/sugestions on trolleys?

I am also looking for a ramp for the sliding doors in my house so i can get the trolley out without damaging the sliding door frame. Any suggestions?

I know Mick is making the Dob Wedge/trolley, which i am also considering.

Thansk and Regards.

If you find a good value no-nonsense hardware store (like Tony's in Oakleigh :thumbsup: ), you can pick up heavy duty wheels with ball bearings for $2-$5 each, depending on size. And that includes ones with brakes, and/or on a shopping-trolley style pivot.

h0ughy, i have posted in Mick's thread twice and am awaiting a response. I also liked the drum wheels that Dave got of Mick, it fits the dobie very neatly.
