Topic : Launching Trolley

In the market for a new launching trolley.  Anybody got any good suggestions of where to get one or anyone selling one around Scotland somewhere?  Its for an NSM1 by the way though I will probably change the cradle over anyway!  Cheers Oli.

Oli keep us posted I looked for a trolley for an NSM a couple of years back, Whilst Hayling,Rapide,Sovereign were all happy to supply one the cost of getting it onto the Island put 30-50% onto it & one was collection only! In the end it was cheaper to buy the steel & a cheap welder from B&Q. As I say I'd be interested to here your findings

Someone on the CVRDA site got a trolley knocked up for £30 in Forfar.  I emailed you Oli so you could let us know - a new export from Scotland?!!!

How do you "knock up a troley" is this a new deviance known only on the East Coast of Scotland where it's cold?

It's how little trolleys are made (hence the Combi position!!)

I've got a proper pro mig welder and all the other tools/skills necessary to do it myself.  Nothing drastically wrong with ours I just don't like it!  Wanted to have a look around and see whats out there and for how much - never really thought of building one from scratch (was going to modify our own!)  Thanks guys I'll let you know what we end up with.....Cheers Oli.

Oli one mistake which I have still to rectify is that I put the 'handle' up at the level of the stem head which gives you all the weight when pulling uphill. Leason, copy a good one!!
