has anyone got any ideas or plans on how to build a mini trolley that is about 2 ft of the ground and that can be bolted on to the mini so that it can be shifted on a trailer
Thanks

My suggestion would be to make a simple steel frame (proably 2" box or 2"x1" box section) same width as the floor pan and create it a little bit longer so you can make some brackets/arms going off to the (front subframe) lower fire wall mounts and the (rear subframe) front mounts. Use the same size steel for a leg in either corner with some corner bracing and maybe some large diamater (100mm+) castor wheels under each leg.

In this pic you can just see my stand under my van project. It's not designed to bolt to the vechile like you want but same idea. My legs are teliscopic so I can change the hight of the stand be about a foot. Also my castor wheels are a small size (50mm) bigger ones would be much eaiser to roll onto a trailer but the little ones are still useable.

I used a wooden pallet with big casters on each corner when I moved my shell. Got it on the trailer with two mates pushing.

That is a good idea kennomini big wheels are a must because i'm sending my body to an Adelaide car restorer and it would have to travel about 250km to get there so it would have to be a pretty strong frame

Doh, I just gave one away as scrap, although I did ask on here if anyone wanted it.
