i bought one of these a few weeks ago, and i must say its a great way of moving speakers and gear around venues or ferrying in gear from the car!. I've now cut down the number of trips back and to from 6 to only 3. its very well made, sturdy and will take 150kg of stuff per journey. It folds down to a handy size which makes it easily stowable in the boot of a car or roof box!. Available for only £14.99 (£19.99 inc next day delivery) - local Makro wanted £39.00 for something similar!.

Ive used one of these for years...great on the flat,However you will find if u overload it and pull hard on the handle to get over doorstrips ect it will bend and eventually snap.

I use one of these I bought from B&Q cost me about £20 . Not bad but do not use on carpet as they have a habit of becoming a bit uncontrolable.

Had one of those as well. In fact think I still have it somewhere. Not bad but I felt the bottom plate seemed a bit flimsy. Especiall when It picked up my sub or decks.

I've been using the type of trolley McCradle bought for years now but as supersound says not the most robust (I have the handle bending problem, but I think it's down to me over loading).

Here in Ireland at points in the year both Aldi and Lidil will sell a version. They were 20.00euros each the last time I purchased but that was a few years ago. The one I'm currently using is just showing signs of going so I'm on the watch for them to become available. When they do I'll buy two. They really are back savers and will reduce the trips to your transport.

broke so many trolleys over the years I bit the bullet and bought a rock n roller r12 trolley, inflatable tyres the lot, can almost do a full rig on it !!

just a suggestion here for everyone to consider...

ive had custom hard cases made for the majority of my gear, and seen as they were custom made, i had side away handles and wheels put on them. im sure youve all see the luggage typed bags with pull out handles on wheels...well yep, thats where i got the idea.

its an expensive investment to have everything custom cased, but if you're a FT mobile dj doing 3 or 4 gigs a week, its well worth it.

consider it guys. its lightens the load and it look pretty swish when u roll up with a black box on wheels, tuck the handle away and pop the front and back off to reveal 4 immaculate rack mounted amps.
