wheels/buggy for a 16" lightbridge

[sejanus (Gavin)]

Hi All,

My 16" should be arriving in a few hours.

I want to make it mobile, as I'm going to keep it i my garage and
would like to just wheel it into my backyard (5-10 metres from
garage) fully assembled

Any recommendations? I see scope buggy + jmi have a solution, jmi a
little more pricey but not much. Both overseas so the shipping will sting a bit but probably sting less than a broken back/slipped disc

peter recommended to try a few local welders/similar - before I do the ring around, does anyone know somewhere in AU that sells them? I doubt it, but fingers crossed

this is a pic of the jmi one ;

I think some cloudynighters have looked at fitting the wheel barrow style handles/wheels to the 16"LB's.

A search on there may find some ideas for a fairly simple solution if it appeals.

I bought the large Aluminium Fold-up trolley to move it around but I also changed the base (made it square).
This brought the CG closer to the wheels but more importantley for me it now fit through a stadard doorway.

I looked at trolleys but one that would fit the lightbridge was $570!

I'm looking at screwing some wheelbarrow handles on at the moment

how large was your trolley?

I think it is the 200kg model. I first tried the 90kg but I think the rating is way off. I changed it and I think it was ~$150.
The pics will show what I have done.
All dimensions of the rocker box are as original but the circle cut off.
