February 2001, ADD Productions made a dolly to use in an upcoming movie. You can view some of the other pictures we took below, or check out the footage [removed] we took using it.
Construction
We made the dolly by securing two pieces of particle-board (these form the deck)
to a frame of 2x4's, creating the platform. The wheels are 10" wheelbarrow wheels
that have ball-bearings, and are secured to the dolly using large nuts & bolts. The
rear wheels are fixed to a small frame of 2x4's, while the front ones can move so
you can steer. The steering mechanism uses a 4" lazy-suzan to join another frame
of 2x4's to the platform. Since taking the pictures, we added a handle attached
to the steerable portion - the handle is made of metal pipes and is much like a kid's
wagon handle.
