MG MGF Technical - DIY Hardtop Caddy Storage Stand

Has anyone got any measurements and instructions for a DIY Hardtop Caddy Storage Stand with wheels.
Have a great Easter

Mine's suspended from the garage roof - OK if you've got one! Easy enough for two people to manage, and easy DIY. Close-up in the next post.

Close-up of the pulleys. I originally used them for something much heavier, so a simpler arrangement would be OK.

Thanks for the pic of the hoist version Mike but I'm only after measurements/instructions for a DIY Hardtop Storage Caddy Stand with wheels but yours looks like it works well. Nice job!

Assuming you can get 1 inch square frame tubing down under http://shop.instant-shop.com/stodec/product280226.html, it would be easy to knock up a trolley with casters like this (also available?) http://www.castercity.com/cm3-stem.htm. It even comes apart easily for storage!

Yep! thanks Mike, all good with the tubing and casters in Australia. We have great stuff called qubelok aluminium from Capral and it just locks together but because I'm really really LAZY at measuring things from stratch & working it out....has anybody out there actually got drawn diagram with measurements and instructions on how to build one. Then I'll go off to my local steel/aluminium man & he will cut out all the measurements for me at the steel mill.
I thought over the years somebody would have drawn a diagram or something to follow and put it in the DIY section. happy easter!
