I think you should take orders!!!!
Thanks! It weights a ton so would not be practical to ship. I could probably build one if someone local needed one. Turns out I use it in the yard more than moving Lumpy. You can tilt it and slide a heavy garbage can up into it. Plus our Corgi (Yogi) loves riding around in it.

Hi everyone,

I could not find a good cart to move Lumpy, so I decided to make one. I thought I would share here.

Both ends open like a pickup tailgate. Wheels in the middle so you can tilt it like a roll off car transporter. I pull down on the push bar to tilt it and then slide Lumpy in.

Tires are flat free solid and good for 250lbs each. Capacity should be 900 lbs, but I doubt I'll ever need that capacity. It does double as a yard cart too.

I wanted to call it the LumpyMobile, but was overruled by my daughter who insists LumpyKart better.
