Put the bike on it & roll it around the garage!
OR, since it's on the kitchen table, it's a pass the condiments rolling susan...

It's obviously to roll something or someone around.
It's heavy duty, either to carry heavy weight, or just using the materials available.
The keepers or jaws on each end hold something.
I don't know, a portable mother-in-law chock?

a creeper with tool holders on the sides to roll our big butts under a car with not much ground clearance, like some of our butts would fit in that contraption?  |

I am going to go with its for dropping both exhausts or holding them in place when you are fitting a set of your custom pipes to a Valk
You roll it under the Valk then you do your thing,

You're all wrong, it's for those who can't ride in a straight line. You just ride your front wheel onto it, hold your front brake and take off, you are garranteed to go in a straight line. Not very far, but straight.

 If you are riding and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast. |

The prize is still waiting... I thought it's use would be evident from the pics. It's purpose-built, motorcycle related...

Can we get the length and width of this device as a hint? Obviously, not intended to carry very heavy loads but, something for easing movement of some item. My guess is that it is used to put the rear wheel of a motorcycle on enabling the bike to be moved from side to side with less effort. Maybe for use when installing exhaust?

The judges are accepting this answer. Specifically, the trolley allows moving the back wheel of the fwd bike in the trailer close to the left wall after tying down the fork in the centered chock. Then the 2nd bike can be ridden in on the right, into the right chock staggered aft of the fwd one. With the forks tied down, the bikes are braced against each other with a strong bar clamp on their shock mounts while tiedowns (to recessed floor anchors) pull them together. This enables a 6X12 enclosed trailer to haul 2 large bikes, secured from damage. One a Tourer, the other a Standard. Don't know if I can squeeze in 2 baggers yet. I may also brace the rear wheels with custom chocks/braces secured to the floor. Note the trolley has wheels lowered by levers with over-centering axis. Drive onto it with levers & wheels raised, lower the levers and the platform raises 3/16" inch. Wheels held down by the weight of the load. Move it into position and raise the levers to lower the platform. It's garage-door wheels and mounts with 11ga steel plate and 1/8" steel custom mounts between them. Not making this for sale. It's a one-off to fill my need. Rams gets the beer! |

Damn, every now and then even I get lucky!! The bad news is, I quit drinking spirits when I turned 21. But, I'll eagerly enjoy an iced tea and let my friends enjoy the beer. Ride safe. |
