I believe i bought the same trolley design from the same seller apx 4 yrs ago, and it barely lifts the machine off the ground, as can be seen in the photos with the legs off the ground only a few inches, and the trolley wound up all the way on the small car jack....
It was good only to take legs off etc, but mine was useless moving much around cause the design would collapse on itself. (I upgraded very quickly and junked the black one).
Anyone buying this trolley (or considering) shld be testing/inspecting/or having somneone check it for you first. The red flat base ones we have seen on AP alot, are far better IMHO.

The $1 start might be for a reason.......hope it helps....

Good feed back Cavey. Defiantly worth asking questions before any eBay purchase.

I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago for $209.
http://industryupdate.com.au/products-details/scissor-lifts/28037/lt-226-hydraulic-lifter-trolley-226kg-740mm-lift-height
For pinballs I do not use the handle bar and centre the trolley under the machine, raise and then wheel the pinball easily around the room. Maximum height will have the pinball legs several inches off the ground. Capacity is 226kg.

If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.

Yeah I have a similar one and does the job perfectly.

add to the approval rating for these. Got one and use it with ease. Just have to put a tension strap around trolley and machine to stop it slinding around the red top.

You guys and your stuffing around with these machinery trolleys to save a few bucks!
The gamemasters one is built for the purpose of lifting pinballs and should last a lifetime.
Price is a bit high at $420 but after shifting machines 100+ times with ease and efficiency, the cost is eventually an afterthought. Jack is rated at over 1 Tonne, frame can handle the same, wheels rated to 350kgs though.

Freight to QLD for anything from Victoria would be very very expensive because of the weight of the trolley lifters, so alot of the QLD guys bought the Machinery Co Red trolleys locally to save a few hundred minimum in what would have been expensive freight from VIC.

I have moved many machines many times on the red one I have and its rated to about 650 kgs, apx 3 times the weight of a pinball so the red ones are perfect as well if u buy the right one.
