G'Day All,
Why browsing the web I come across a site, which may help those, who may have a heavy scope.
This man has made a trolley for lifting the scope to the tripod he also has some good idea for pier mount using your own tripod The site is Bat Wing Observatory just type it into to your search engine have a look their may be something their that may be of interest to you all
Thanks for the heads up Ian, and a special thanks to Steve for keeping me lazy by providing the http link! It looks like the trolley is a stock item for use in warehouses, with several well executed modifications by the author.
Definitely a mandatory piece of kit for a big and heavy Meade 14”
