Life Size Model Animal Trolley, Turfboard, Mobile Plinth or “Skateboard”
Some time ago, we undertook a survey to find out from clients what could be done to improve the products. And so discovered that many customers wanted greater flexibility when moving the larger models around such as the life size milking cows.
The model animals are not particularly heavy. However, it would be helpful if one person was able to move the bigger models around on their own without requiring assistance.

In order to solve this issue, we now supply model animal plinths or “skateboards”. These consist of a wooden board in the shape of a surfboard, with four wheels bolted on underneath. They have individual brakes mounted on one set of diagonals. This allows the model to be manoeuvred around easily, before being parked safely.
All the larger models have metal spars moulded under the hooves during manufacture; so these are used to bolt the animal model down onto the Turfboard.

To complete the look of the animal skateboard, we finish by adding artificial turf to the board ; thereby transforming it into a “turfboard” and providing a suitable setting for a professional finish. On the odd occasion, we have even added artificial flowers.
