Use of body roller
Use of body roller
by PIPKIN » Sat Jan 07, 2017 11:23 am
Just completed the fabrication of body roller of a similar style shown below.
Just wondering if anyone has experience of using this style of roller?
Just need to confirm if it is okay to put the bus on its side when the floor has been removed, chassi and floor structure still in place, except inner sill.
What is the best approach to rolling the bus,can it be done by one person or will muscle be needed?
Cheers
Paul

Hi
It was always my belief that you could only roll the body onto the 60 degree angle
I.e sitting on the short section.
Not onto its side..
Hence I bought material and Dave made a dudecohedron rotisserie.
So you could roll all the way round.
No idea of the effort with yours.

Here's the one I made, it worked well. I also put wheels on the side so I could push it around
