I have a pin trolley that was used in the old days - moved many pins - it is 40 years old and still going strong.

Similar to the one Gamemasters sells

I use the ones with the three wheels to move pins around the house on wooden floors.  They are awesome for that.  I need to find something that can get down or more importantly up steps.  && &&

There were a couple selling them on ebay and elsewhere a while ago and they have possibly maxed out the pinball market.  They are a great buy at the current ebay price

The gold ones (which attach to the two front legs, then the other set attachs to the rear legs) i call pinball skates.
These are excellent for moving anywhere, espescially up n down stairs, with two strong people at each end.

The individual black "three wheel jobs" that go under each pin leg, i call castor wheels.great for moving, without steps.
