If you have two people all you need is a couple of saw horses with
carpet on top. $20 each at Supercrap.
Been there done that. You don't lift anything heavier than the
wingtip for a very short time.
It helps if the trailer has good fittings. I have yet to see a
European trailer with those. Trailers nowadays seem to be chosen for
their fashion statement value rather than lightness, strength and
stiffness and properly designed fittings. The clamshell types are
none of those.
Nearly 40 years ago Bruce Tuncks figured out that you wanted to run
the wing root dolly past the back of the trailer. Simple plug in
extension to the tracks does it. Then design the dolly with a flat
top and a peg to hold the wing in place which can be removed. This
means you can roll the spar around on it after removing the peg. No
wing nuts, etc. That was my mod to the idea.
