Folding dolly floor - your experience?

[Blade Borge]

Hi, I was thinking of getting a Sanford & Davis universal dolly

It needs absolute smooth surface to function properly. So I was thinking of getting smooth, tempered hardboard at Home Depot. Trouble is I don't own a pick up truck so I was thinking of cutting the wood and then attaching hinges so that it's more foldable/portable.

My question is for anyone who's ever tried this is....would the seams cause a bump on the surface of the board?

There would definitely be a bump where the seam is. The hinges would have to mount so that they bring the boards together very very tight, but even then I'm sure there would be a bump.

Consider building a skateboard dolly (either ride on or just the camera) and then get a cheap roof rack to hold the dolly track (fence toprail).

That's the solution I had with a 2-door bmw for a long time until I got an SUV.

This is what I used:

Thanks j! Good suggestion. Sorry to hear that Kdawg, but when you're right you're right...
