Body Dolly or Straps
Located in Hudson WI, just outside Mpls/St. Pual MN.
Kent: 952-210-0263
Dolly built to specs commonly found on this forum, I believe it's a Noland Adams design. Made it a little taller so I could crawl under it to clean. Also used lag bolts and nuts to connect the 4x4 posts, so I could knock it down when not used. No nails, screwed and glued, and performed perfectly. EASY maneuvering, full 5" X 2" hard rubber ball bearing casters. 4 casters on the back swivel, 2 upfront fixed and lockable.
Dolly $70 - Pick up only
Casters Only $50 - Plus actual shipping cost from 54016. Includes 8 total matching 5" casters. 4 locking, 4 swivel.
Straps - from Ecklers. Modified the D hook end's by adding ratcheting short straps so the balance and length could be effectively adjusted. I
also bent out the wide body hooks, so they effectively grip the rocker area of the bird cage. I got a buddy on the fire department who brought over the jaws of life to accomplish the widening. A real PIA. I was told all the parts suppliers buy from the same generic strap vendor, and the hooks are too narrow to use, unless stretched. One hook cracked (not apart) when stretched (see pic) it was welded and all worked perfectly.
Straps $60 - Plus actual shipping cost from 54016
All this stuff was used for a successful; one body lift off and one body lift on using a cherry picker engine hoist.
Thanks for looking at the post.
