announced
the release of their
latest product - the Universal Dolly.
The dolly combines the best

dolly to fold up and store in an
easily carried soft bag for ease

for easy transport and checking
as luggage;

Dolly ready to transport

around very tight turns.
All of the above dollies have
been continuously updated and
improved over the years, are still in
production, and remain very popular
throughout the world.
The new “Universal” dolly utilises
a completely new method of
steering and folds into a small and
lightweight package that weighs
only 16.8 kgs / 37 lbs., carries a very
good payload of 200 kgs / 440 lbs,
and offers a solid camera platform.
It can also steer from the back or
the front, both two wheel steering
and four wheel steering, when very
tight turns are required.
It can be equipped with sideboards
that are ﬂat or contain 100mm or
150mm camera bowls, and can be
operated with pneumatic wheels,
hard rubber wheels or track wheels.
When equipped with track wheels it
runs on standard width track of 62
cm / 24.5” wide, straight and curved.
In addition to the above mentioned
options, it can also be equipped with
most of the Egripment accessories
such as seat supports, columns,
bazookas and jib arms.

automotive
design
with
aerodynamics,
ergonomics
and
style in mind.
