I have a chance to purchase one of these sets local to me, and before i found this forum i went to check it out today. I looked in the toolbox and it was empty. No bolts or anything.
Anyone make up a list of what should be in the box, and what to make sure you get for a complete setup?
It did have the long connecting cords and the Dolly wheels. I wasn’t sure what i was looking for though. Not sure about the bar to move it into position. I appreciate everyone who have posted information. I have high cube containers to move, and i was thinking just a large chain and ratchet binder to keep the top together, but I’m not sure that’s even a good idea, too much give. Given that these don’t fit even standard size containers, not sure it’s worth the price he’s asking. He does have 2 units, so if he has all the large bolts, i may try to get a complete unit out of 2. I don’t need a scrap project. Tires are new, these haven’t been used at all.
Fyy, gsa is selling tons of these at auction for really cheap in California outside north of Reno. Just have to transport them. Spare parts galore for those wanting to take a chance.

I'm Jens, and I work with a team at an University in Germany.
For our current project, we’ve purchased a mobilizer from the USA and are in the process of shipping it to Germany.
Since we’re planning to modify it, we’re trying to get our hands on any technical drawings or detailed measurements. It seems like there are no technical drawings availble, right?
Because the shipping will take some time to get here and I'm curios if someone could help me out with some measurements. This would be a big one for us!

Did your dolly set have the locking lugs for connecting it to a container?

Kleinertn17,
Please upload the TM in the TM Upload forum. Then we can insert the link to the TM forum, and not have the TM "hidden" here. Here in this thread, it will be almost impossible for the next person to find. In the TM section, its much easier to locate. If you upload it in the "TM Upload section, I will take care of the rest.
Ach ja. Jeje, Grüss aus Burgkunstadt!
