I made one years ago from old chair castors and an even older (wooden) bed frame.
All from a skip, but worked a treat.

Thanks, Timbo and Warts, looks like i'll have to make one myself, pity nobody has cottoned on to the fact that nobody seems to make such a simple thing for scooters. Hey fellas fancy going into partnership and patent one ?. The demand must surely be there especially as a great many scooter owners' are getting on a bit now and reliving their younger days, just like me.

Find an office chair - preferably one with five casters - looking for a new home. That might be adaptable. If you literally want to roll the scoot on, turn it to align with a stall or parking spot, then roll the scoot off - look at a large bearing assembly for a Lazy Susan. 12" diameter 1000 US pound capacity is available stateside in the $20 range.

Or see if a British importer offers something close to this thing from Harbor Freight in the states.

Am certain there is a thread on here about workbench/scooter lifting benches.
Read through that.
A lot of people get hospital bed frames. They are on castors and go up and down. So can be wheeled about.
I made a bench out of timber. It has a ramp that pivots as the scooter is wheeled onto it. I adapted a plan i googled and found on the internet. It put it on strong castors i bought off ebay. I can move it around quite easily. I can get to either side and push it about. i made it wider than my series 2 stand.

Scooters are really light (and tiny), compared to bikes. What sort of a space do you need to get one into that you can't just wheel it in?

Ain't that the truth.

Series 3 Just over 100 kg, Griso 231 kg!
Did you have to do that?
