Hello, Brad.

Guy pointed out one part of your idea: a portable grand rack. Norm 
Cantrells' folding rack isn't suitable for loading into a vehicle with 
grand action still on it, but it could help one load a grand action onto a 
platform (with a way to secure it) which lived in the vehicle. I've thought 
of doing that, but haven't found the time. I get a grand action into  my 
station wagon through the hatch back by either getting help from a 
customer, or using a small hand-truck. It's a little fussy, but I haven't 
hurt one yet.

Perhaps you need two items to fulfill the whole thing -- the grand rack and 
the storage unit. Large pieces of luggage are built with wheels and handles 
on them these days. Perhaps you could buy a large suitcase with wheels, and 
structure the interior to provide organized tool and part space.

Let us know if you get something to do what you want.

Best,
Susan
