I have three similar to these, they have held up great , roll easily and will hold a lot of weight , mine are probably the ones in the second link ,I got them used from a boat dealer that was closing shop so I can't be sure on the name brand. At any rate unless those are complete junk $103.00 shipped is a steal for a shop stand , some assembly required.

I also have a few like what WFO posted. Roll SOOOooo smooth on the concrete that you actually HAVE to lock the casters if you're working on the ski. Adjustable bunks, sit at just the right height, and actually will hold 1000#'s. A couple times I've had the RXT or GTX iS skis on them.......and those must be the heaviest skis around.

For $850.00 that sum beach better have a motor on it to transport my ski up and down the road !
But hey it's only another $150.00 to $250.00 to have it shipped so $1000.00 or $1100 .00 total , that would be a deal at about half the price.

So....an extra 8-900 bucks just so you can manually raise it a few positions?? Of course, they're probably built in a professional welding shop where they get $125 an hour so.....there's that.
 
Dude the one from eBay is the best, i bought 2, added a few extra washers to it but build quality is top notch. Very impressive, great recommendation from @WFO Speedracer earlier this summer. Holds the big skis no problem, rolls around great

just as a comparison I can buy a shop cart $103.00 shipped on Ebay, a 2000 lb. cherry picker $369.99 , probably less with a coupon , free pickup at harbor freight and a lifting sling $130.00 on Amazon , delivered free..

Now there is some tax added so lets say 10% on top of that , that comes out to a grand total of $662.58 , does that $1000 shop stand still make sense to you ?

If so I have some lakefront property in Greenville , AL. I would like to sell you.

It's more work and cost, but I built a pair of my own for about $125 each. This cost included all new hardware, wood, brackets, casters, etc a few years ago so you can def build for less if you already have materials laying around. I borrowed the design from something I found online and it allows the option to add a flat plywood board in the bottom to make for a storage area, so maybe I'll add that sometime. I spaced the bunks so it holds SJ/blasters & also my couch. It's a solid cart, but it's heavy and doesn't collapse or adjust easily. But it works for me & I even designed the height to be right at my mid trailer level so I can raise or lower the trailer tongue a bit so I'm always moving the ski "down hill" if that makes sense ;)

As someone who moves a lot of heavy a$$ skis around constantly the downhill thing makes a lot of sense , as soon as I can get a ski on a trailer far enough that the tongue will come down I lower the tongue as far as it will go and winch the ski the rest of the way on the trailer.

This thing would sufficiently support your tow vehicle, let alone a 300lb standup ski.
 
I have a bunch of homemade ones that work best but bought this one in a pinch and it's worked well.

 
If you’re near Orange County, I have one that I’ll give you for free. It works good. Might need some oil in the castor bearings but it’s an extra one I have. It’s one from a dealer I got with a ski
