Pinball trolleys
« on: July 23, 2012, 02:26:06 PM »
Started a thread a while back about wheels for pinball. But have decided a trolley or jack would suit my purposes better. I want something that would jack it up high enough to slide on or off the tray of my ute (which is a little higher than your average tray. Has anybody got something good they would recommend?

Just be aware if you do buy one of the trolleys from Machinery House, the cheap ones won't give you the lift height you're looking for. I bought one of the
$210 trolleys, but due to the height of my 4WD ute i had to make a timber base to sit on top of the trolley to get the extra height. Otherwise it's been a great trolley and well worth the money.

That said, if you get the next model up with a higher lift height, the width is too great to fit between the legs.  The $210 is the go, just rip the handle off straight away.

I've just modified mine and am using it as a sheet lifter for fibro ceiling sheets in my garage extension!!!

Is there no middle ground here. Does anyone know of one I can just buy and use no mods??

All you need is a couple of timber blocks to add lift height, shouldn't be too much of an issue when you need to lift onto a ute.  I've actually found it easier to wheel near a ute or trailer, then lift it anyway - takes away any danger of scratching etc

I bought mine from gamemasters. Works great. Lifetime investment. They have one in stock ready to go last time I spoke with them.
