these 'beach carts' are ok, they're a bit fiddly to set up and you have to think about where you're putting the stuff in it or they can tip up, or the rocknroller (good, flexible, not too expensive, seems like they've had some quality control issues though over time, but lots good about them), or for kit, ruggedness, and perfect for your laptop for digi too, but doesn't fold up as small, the backstage magliner conversions are the industry standardThe only cart I've come across which truly does the job is this one from but it does come at price!

On it's front page is a little suspect to me. 20 month old news is hardly "breaking" is it

Helpers to do the lifting don't actually help, unless they're on site already - if I took three teenagers in the car I'd have to leave most of the kit behind! The last session I did, if I'd had five people ready they could have emptied the car and all carried enough for one load to the venue, as it is, I'm hopping this cart will replace five pairs of hands, with one...I apologise for the flippant response but this is why my wife and I have three sons ... - They do come useful on occasion!!
So DHL delivered my trolley today, quickly popped the wheels on and gave it a once over and had a quick 'play'. Takes about half the gear I took to my last session in one load, but those are all the easy bits. I probably won't really need the full capacity of this and don't expect to use it that often - all I know is that I could certainly have done with it in the past!View attachment 111436 View attachment 111437 View attachment 111438

and as can be seen above fits snuggly in the front passenger side of my tiny hatchback for those smaller jobs! Having trundled it around for a bit fully laden, it would be nicer if it had slightly softer tyres for rough surfaces and bigger front wheels would have been a bonus, but the only cart I know with those cost over twice the price. The welds all seem to be of a good standard, the paintwork has a few very small spots missing. Dislikes, well I like to have washers used wherever possible, but I'll add those myself, the two thumb nuts which clamp the sliding section look as though they've been designed to 'bite' into the surface of the slide, so will mark it badly over time, not that you'll be able to see this, just strikes me as poor engineering, but then given the overall cost of the cart perhaps to be expected! One change for the better (from the advertised pictures) is on the front casters which initially showed a very open bearing assembly, so very prone to the incursion of dirt, the ones supplied had a ring between the bearing halves, not a seal, but it will definitely help keep out larger particles of dirt. On the subject of casters there is only one fitted with a brake not a problem until you try and load it on a slope, then it will turn around the braked wheel - could always buy another braked caster at 10.60€ but you'd have to pay delivery. So for 88€ plus 10€ delivery I have to say I'm well pleased on the whole.
wtf, never ever thought it was that much gear.
Hi
I use one of these for my fishing gear, should do the job fine and not too pricey either

Thanks for the info Paul
Mine arrived from Thomann this week and tested it on the streets of London
Does the job nicely
Here it is loaded with basic kit

I'm looking for a small preferably foldable trolley for taking my lighting gear from car to offices etc.
Can anyone recommend me one ?
Thanks
Ed
It is, I have to say against many of the options mentioned in this thread, a professional looking product that sets the right image for clients.

I dismissed these out of hand for oh so many reasons.....not least of which is they are just not up to what I want them to do! The one you've linked to is absolutely huge at "Size assembled11705cm long x 590cm wide x 990cm high" doesn't inspire confidence, plus the manufacturer has a somewhat lower loading capacity - I don't mind cheap, but I absolutely want to know what I'm getting for my money...

Hi I'm asking if you could confirm the exact height of the Millenium Go-Kart Truck XL as you own one.
Hi I'm asking if you could confirm the exact height of the Millenium Go-Kart Truck XL as you own one.
The measurements must be from the ground with wheels attached to the top of the handle when the handles are fully extended
When the cart is stood horizontally.
Thank you. So much conflicting info on the Internet. I hope you can help
