Hutton Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I've got a new PA which has powered speakers, monitors, and bass bins. All this has to be lugged on gig night along with the usual paraphenalia of amps, cabs etc. Can anyone recommend a decent wheeled trolley for loading gear into venues before this old man kills himself. I've looked at a few online but wondered if anyone had found one that was just the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Can't advise you but I'll shall watch this thread with interest. I'm still knackered and nursing a sore back, following the load in and out from saturday nights gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janmaat Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Any trolley will be better than no trolley - I prefer the ones with wheels... Gonna depend on the weight you want to put on them, and I'd strongly advise not not buy sh*te! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Screwfix do a railway porter style cart, tough & with pneumatic tyres. Relatively cheap & can be steered one-handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyBiskit Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 speaking from personal experience old boy, I'd go for one with solid wheels, on the odd occasion should you get a puncture you would be well and truly cream crackered. just my twopence worth.

BottomE Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Then there is the issue of getting across different types of terrain! Grass, pebbles, steps, decking and uneven slabs. I've even done sand and water! We have 3 trolleys in the band. Two are foldy-up ones from B&Q which cost £20 and are good for amps, pa cabs etc. The other is a flat 4 wheel thing that is good for bins and instruments etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobpalt Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Warwick used t do (still do?) a fabulous piece of kit called something like the Rocktrolly.We have 2 of them, and they are extending solid things with pump up or solid wheels, that can carry 500lbs each. We have had many band races on them at the end of the night, so they can certainly carry a grown man with ease! pm me, and I might be peruaded to let you have one for a good price..........
