Title: Pinball Trolley
Post by: Chad on January 08, 2016, 03:17:30 PM
I need to move a few pinball machines from the house into the garage and thought I better save my back and invest in a pinball trolley.

What pinball trolley should I buy and where should I buy it from ?

Games masters have them here in Australia $535  ^^^ good investment imo

This one here is best value for money in my opinion https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/J048 (https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/J048)

Had it for 5 years with no problems, don't get the next model up as it can be too wide to fit between legs of some older machines

The handle easily comes off
I made a bracket to fit the handle to the pump up pedal
So I pump the handle to raise it up, kind of like a pallet jack

I've seen some really poor quality local copies - so if this style of lift is preferable, stick with the Gamemasters version.

These are the ones we use.
