I'll 2nd that, but mine is on 2 pallets stacked on top of each other, it's a bit higher that way.

I quick timber frame would do it in a suitable size. You will find the most expensive bit will be the castors. I have thought about making one a few times bt never got around to it. Escort shells aren't that heavy.

Pallets nice easy option though.

I just bought a couple of lengths of 2” box section steel, welded in a rectangle, with four uprights, rear two bolted to the forward spring hangers and the front to the crossmember chassis holes.
Castors can be bought cheap enough, I purchased the largest at a reasonable price with a brake so I could move it on rough ground.

Pending where you are, you could borrow it, I’m in North, West Wales.

Waverunner thanks for the offer but I'm in South Wales I'll probably make do with a pallet on castor cheers.
