Body turn/roll

[zeroaxe]

Well, I got a dolly similar to this one

I use it for the chassis. When I first made it and got the chassis up there, the steel plate I used squealed under the weight of the chassis as soon as I turned it upside down. So after some extra bracing in place, it doesnt bend as much as before. Although it works for the chassis now, it wont work straight 'out of the box' with a body. The body will hit the upright posts like the pic above. I need it to go the full 180°.

wrenchnride247, although those hoops(I ahve seen them before too, and they seem great) will work, I dont have the space to roll the body over. Plus, it is not as 'portable' as a dolly, unless you somehow rig some wheels to it to push it around once it is rolled over.

yetibone, I am with you on this one. The only way to safely turn the body over without ripping the dolly supports(that attaches to the body) or mounting points on the body itself, is to rig up some extra bracing through the body itself, and then some triangulation on the dolly supports to spread the load. Thing is, this needs carefull planning, as the triangulation braces might hit the ground or the horisontal bar between the legs



Hmmmmm......
