Up for sale is a high end piece of camera equipment. If you know what the Matthews Western Dolly is, than you know what it can do, if not:
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The Western Dolly is a larger, heavier duty platform than the Doorway, with a maximum capacity of 1200lbs.(544kg) The wider, longer platform provides an even smoother ride with its larger, wider tires and extended wheelbase. This dolly can be equipped with a turret as can the Doorway. The turret assembly allows for the mounting of two seats and a complete camera configuration supported by a Mitchell Base. The wheel base of both is 52" with an overall length of 76". The platform size is 48" wide by 66" long. Total weight capacity is 1200lbs. (544kg) Tire pressure -- 16-22lbs. Whether used as an equipment transportation vehicle or as a camera platform, the Western Dolly provides reliable, heavy duty, steady support at a reasonable price. While the configuration of the Western Dolly axle has often been copied by competitors, field observation has proven that none have been successful in matching the strength of the Matthews axle. Because it is impossible to anticipate the manner in which the dolly will be loaded or the slope of the terrain on which it will be used, Matthews has learned that the capacity of each axle must match the total capacity of the dolly. The strongest Dolly of its type in the business.
THIS DOLLY RETAILS FOR AROUND $2,600. AND RENTAL COSTS GO AROUND $50/DAY.
--OWN IT FOR MUCH CHEAPER!--
An industry workhorse! I bought this dolly off a production company that was going out of business, and since then have added a fresh platform along with new carpeting and a new coat of paint (and have yet to use it since the additions.) I recently purchased a crab dolly, and this has been sitting unused in storage. This Dolly looks and performs flawlessly.
I am just looking to use the sale of this for further additions into the business, so I am VERY open to cash offers as well as items to trade...
Items I'm looking for: Lighting, Grip, HD monitor, Stabilizer parts... again, I am very open to offers, so if your interested, please let me know what you got!!
PM or email me with offers if your interested. (Please, no Low-Ballers)
The first two pics are of the actual item, the last two are examples of the western dolly in action.
