JMI Wheeley Bar Telescope Dolly
JMI HEAVY-DUTY Medium Size Universal Wheeley Bar Telescope Dolly is a portable dolly for your telescope.
Constructed of a sturdy base with locking wheels and leveling bolts, the heavy-duty version is designed with heavier telescopes in mind. Save your back! Our Wheeley Bars create an easier and faster way to move mounted telescopes to and from observing locations.
Easily move, lock and level the complete telescope assembly from location to location without the need to disconnect and reconnect all the electrical and computer cabling during transport. Standard equipment includes Heavy Duty 5/8" Leveling Screws.
This HEAVY-DUTY Version is designed for heavier equipment with the same footprint as the standard Medium Wheeley Bars but with stronger, heavier-duty construction. Because of the increased weight with the same base width, there will be a greater risk of toppling over due to the high center of gravity. To prevent damage from falling over, the equipment will need to be strapped down to the Wheeley Bars.
This is a bottom view of my Wheelie Bar set-up. I will add some better shots of the scope on the mount when I take the scope out for a night.
As I have aged, my back would balk at me every time I had to lift the scope onto the tripod every time I wanted to use the scope, then off again at the end of my observing/photography sessions.
After a time, not having an area for permanent mounting, the scope went into storage for many years.
I finally decided that I would make the telescope mobile by adding JMI Wheeley Bar Telescope Dolly set-up. Boy, am I glad I did. It works well enough that I can wheel it out, level it and get set-up complete in 15 minutes or less. And no back pain. My set-up is for use on concrete.
