Harvest Trolley - dimensions

An update on re-sizing the trolley. I like the way it is of the prototype, but my friend P'Wah think it should be more compact. The proposed dimensions are:

1. Platform size: 0.8m x 0.8m
2. Platform height: 1.5m, adjustable in 10cm step to 1.7m
3. Base 1m x 1.5m
4. Wheels size: 6" (as suggested by Justin)

This is what it looks like: (man height in drawing is 1.67m)
N.B. The cross braces are left out of drawing.



















Any further comments or feedback?

Another helpful feedback from Justin - for a wider wheel base. Thanks for the illustration too.



















This can be DIY build with angle iron available from local hardware stores (as our prototype). We find it cumbersome to move it for use between floors. So our preference is to build with aluminum, to be light and easy to disassemble.

Alternatively, each floor can have a trolley and move only the motor drives. If you need motors & control, please PM me at chng.charles@gmail.com
