Right just seeing what people think and do you think they will we usefull.
A metal trolley on caster wheels to push your resto project, shell or even just when you have the wheels off your car round the garage or anywhere really just to make it alot easier,
Im thinking of a standard height one thats low to the ground so all you have to do is jack the car up slightly push the trolley under and lower the car on and away you go. And another one thats got adjustable out riggers so you can raise the car up and down for the required height for working on.

All feedback on this will be welcome please have a good disscusion.

An excellent idea!

Currently have an old engine trolley under a chevette shell while its being prepped, excellent to get it mobile, but not stable if you want to work on it.

Althought SC Parts Group (advertising in MINI World) sell a similar thing with a rating of 500kg for just £24, although they look like they may well be for putting under wheels rather than the body.... so you'll need 4

Yea ive seen them theres alot of them about you still need the wheels on the car for them my aim is to get a working adjustable platform that moves and just a simple trolley just off the floor.

Why not get a pallet and put wheels on that

I'm using a pallet with wheels, too. although I didn't make it, it came like that. I think they are used to move bread or shopping.... or something. works a treat, not sure why you'd want one that's height adjustable tho.

Pallet with wheels for me too, and two old mini rear seats mounted on each side to softly support the car, (and leave's a gap down the middle for the exhaust pipe.
