Modifying a Jumbuck trolley

I have a Jumbuck trolley and BBQ.

One reviewer says it's easy to move around...

With a bad back and problematic shoulders I've found it difficult to move around with the cylinder and BBQ installed. To me the problem is you can't lift by the trolley handle and keep your feet outta the way - the front legs extend too far.

To move it, I've found you need to be on the side. But this plays havoc with my body.

So I devised a handle that extends from the legs so you move it around somewhat like a golf buggy. 

Scrap metal welded with four small opposing U sections that lock into position with friction and gravity once you lift.

Easily positioned and removed. 

The channels have rubber inserts.

I'm happy. 😁

Cheers.

Re: Moving a Jumbuck Trolley.

Hi @Noyade,

 

You always seem to prove how far a bit of lateral thinking, and some welding skills can go when you are faced with interesting problems.

 

I'm glad to see you've found a solution to the problem you were facing with your trolley.

 

Thank you for sharing.

 

Jacob
