I'm sorry I have no pics of my trolley with ship on it. All the time when I'm using it I'm no more available to take pictures !!!
Tomorrow I will take some pics specialy
I use my trolley to move the models from car to exibition or to the pound and sometime to launch and recovery when there is a launch ramp. I have to unload the boat from car to the trolley.
But even my heavy ice breaker is easy movable by only one person when unloaded of course. Inside the hull just at the gravity centre I fixed a steel handle. If she's 100 kg when loaded - the hull alone is 20kg. If I want I can move it alone from the car to my trolley - Of course it's not for kids. The superstructure is removed, also the battery (car battery easy to handle) and ballast (lead block)
It is the same for my old supply and my X-bow (actually laid up as I'm working on other project) both of them are 50kg when loaded but around 15 kg when empty. With an handle at the gravity center - when the main deck is removed they are easy to move. For both of them even when there is no launch ramp I can launch them alone (I prefer when a second person is available
) Then when afloat I'm loading the battery, the ballast, the after deck and the superstructure
For the fun : At home I've my own pound and an electrical lift able to remove the loaded boats - then there is a rail on celling and I'm able to off load the boat on a "working place trolley" like a bench with wheel !
My 2 meters long 100kg ice breaker on the launch lift
Then the "old" supply 1,86 meters 50 kg
The picture of the x-bow on Reply #13 of this topic was taken at the same place (outdoor side of the place)
Tomorrow I'will show you my trolley, very simple and efficient.
