Title: four wheel fold down trolley
Post by: wallace on January 17, 2010, 11:19:26 am: Ok gents heres something to get your teeth I'm after a fold down trolley to go into the car along side my boats
for all those who have been following my build of the Sir Lancelot wil know its along one around 5foot in lengh and will weight around 56lbs so the trolley must hold the weight and not to be so heavy to lift into the car.
I say 4 wheels but I have a carrier a friend gave me its great for my other boats made from a golf trolly with rubber wheels which is great but it tips over when I put the Sir Lancelot on it then it was to small.
OK gents I will leave it with you all and look forward to all the great reply from you.
Forgot to say the trolly I would like to get is the ones Ellesmere boat club have.

I want one with the blow up rubber wheels why because they run better over the ground and does not harm the boat
anyway Dicky many thanks i think someone will come up with something soon.
I will take a photo of the one I have to give you all something to go on will post it soon just of to have a look at the workers in New Brighton and how far the lake is coming alone to cool to sail at moment.

I have a Golf Plus that I can just shoehorn 2 x 50" sailing ship models and tool boxes in but not the trolley!!! the larger wheels take up too much room.

Post by: Bee on January 17, 2010, 09:24:46 pm: Is it in a box? I balance my boat box on a 2 wheeled axle that has an arm coming forward to a (fold down) arm with a handle. Lightweight and low volume.
