Hi guys. I've had my hydraulic trolley for years and love it, the only thing I want to change is the handle, I want to be able to fold it down so the trolley can go under a table without the handle in my way and also lift it up and still be able to open the coin door properly.
I did some research and looked at others' solutions and I think what I want to implement is a hinged piece that goes where the handle sits now. There's no way I'm gonna try to drill any holes in this sucker, it's tougher than me and I haven't the tools for the job
So imagine a strong metal tube of the right diameter to fit in that handle hole (an inch?) that after about 6" has an elbow joint in it, so it can be straight or have a 90 degree bend. And hopefully when it is straight, and tugged on (stop that) the tugging won't snap the joint.
What's that piece of metalwork called, so I can search for it? Anyone know where I can get it?
One alternative is a handle that's not actually attached (I think @kevlar had one at UKPP like this) but I'd rather try the modification first.
Here is a collage of all the various solutions I found on the web:
