The CamTram system consists of a versatile Hi/Lo Hat attached to a plate designed for a multitude of mounting options. The Hi/Lo Hat can be used by itself or mounted to the precisely engineered dolly or Tram. The Tram features eight soft rubber tires mounted to an adjustable chassis with a passive rocker suspension system. The CamTram also features a quick and effective cable management system. It is designed to run on any set of ridged parallels that are 6 to 24 inches apart.

With the CamTram you supply the track. An ordinary extension ladder is an excellent choice because it easily accessible and quite ridged. Other examples of track are sets of 3/4" to 2" pipe or even two 2 by 4's nailed together. You could adapt it to dolly on a common banquet table or countertop. Alternatively you can leave off all the guide and clamp wheels and run it on the floor.
