Raises mount 4-5 inches off the groundWheel diameter is 10Last June I bought your Wheeley Bars for my 16 Meade LightBridge. Needless to say they have been fantastic. I use the scope at least ten times as much now as I did before putting it on the Wheels. Any time I want to observe I just wheel it out of the garage and I'm ready within a couple of minutes! No re-collimating needed! Contrast that with moving the heavy scope out by hand in three parts putting it together and re-collimating. This process had been a real deterrent to using the scope—not to mention disassembling it at night cold and sleepy. I had considered spending $$$ on an observatory shelter but using the Wheeley Bars is so much better and incredibly cost-effective. But you know all this! Your simple invention has re-opened the world of astronomy for me. And my neighbors—any time it's going to be a good star night I send out an email and they come over. Thanks again. (T. P. W. Jr.)
