Hi Pinside,

Does anyone know where, or the best place is that I can get these pin-movers from other than Jabtec on E-Sucker* (EBAY), the prices with shipping to NZ are shocking and I think there must be better pricing/shipping options out there to make it a tad cheaper to get some?

Dollies

Skates

Also if anyone knows what the weight of each set is I can look at shipping via the NZ post "pretend you live in the USA" postal service but it is a little limited on its weight concessions. I have asked Jabtec if they will combine shipping and of course they will and I'll ask them about each sets weight but you guys are usually more onto it for options. Is Jabtec on Pinside, I'll do a user search.

*not suggesting that Jabtec look for suckers at all as I would hit the buy now but EBAY/Jabtec/Direct shipping cost is a stinker and costs the same as the products basically? Just seeing if there is any better way first before bending over.

Cheers, Mark.

All our stores stock a ton of Chinese (not so cheap) low quality stuff being close to China etc but they all stock the same stuff and I have yet to find anything in Wellington or online like the items above or the Harbor Freight lift cart. Would prefer a lift cart and was jealous of the recent HF lift sale you guys had. I even tried the car stores (repco and super cheap auto) for lift devices but nothing platform related at reasonable price, might need to get creative and currently designing a rotisserie to see what the local fabricator will charge to build (he is normally cheap for the quality work he does).

Maybe some of the kiwis on here can chime in with what they use and where they got them from.

Cheers

Haha! Had the same thought when I read his plan to do route66 in a hearse, he could load up on these dollies and skates with a few HF lifts thrown in for good measure, ship it back to NZ and dish them out to us poor kiwi pinheads Robin Hood style RotorHood......kinda works eh.

What do you Aussies use and from where?

Says ring the call centre for international rates, extract below is from HF website.

Keep getting busy tone, will try again later, does anyone know where the HF CC is located (India like the rest of the planet?) and I'll check the local time there as there might be more agents during the day.

Good idea about sharing shipping.

Trolley looks similar to ones on Trademe (http://www.trademe.co.nz/business-farming-industry/industrial/containers-bins-trolleys/other/auction-693207055.htm) that are $800 kiwi + 50 delivery just spotted a used one at $350 + shipping might keep an eye on it.

good tip, just excited to find something in NZ, too wide with the legs on but the second hand one is ok at 500mm just a shame it is in Auckland, anyone driving down to Wellington passing the Auckland North Shore area soon-ish

Got a response back from Jabtec about the weight of a set of dollies and skates combined, 22lbs which is about 10kgs in new money.

Using EBAY would cost approx $415 kiwi for a set of both shipped.

Using NZ Post (USA postal address reship) total would cost approx $340 kiwi for a set of both shipped.

Going to check the weight and cost to ship the used trolley I found, trolley is $350 kiwi to buy.

Still waiting for weight question to be answered but what I like about this one is that the unit only weighs 44kgs whereas some are up around the 120kg mark, more of a pain to move in and out of the car etc (for when I'm much older I mean )

Thanks, no english version of the site so I will need to babelfish it, price to buy = Jabtec so all depends on the shipping.

Noticed they had repro T2 skull and HK ship are these as good a quality as they look?

Update if anyone cares, been a while just had a couple of speeding fines to...ahem...account for.....thanks NZ Police for saving me from harm twice in a week in perfect, empty dual carriageway, driving conditions, love your work.

So just ordered this 300kg lugging puppy from Topmaq in NZ with $70 kiwi shipping @ $370 Kiwi (~$376 USD), no competition here unfortunately.

I will need to do a handle mod and will also probably do a topper/platform to extend its dimensions when required, really looking forward to the help it is going to give me though as my wife and daughters are not much help in the moving and lifting area.

Features:
- Capacity 300Kg.
- Minimum table height 285mm, maximum table height 780mm.
- Table size 815x495mm.
- Weight ~58kgs packed
