bertbass Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Just bought a rather nice aluminium 4 wheeled trolly / cart at LIDL. Folds down really small and expands to quite large. I'm pretty impressed with it at £24.99p. Sorry but couldn't find a link. Quote

Guest MoJo Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I think it's this one http://www.lidl.co.uk/catalogmedia/uk/article/96365/96365_01_f.jpg and folds down to this...... http://www.lidl.co.uk/catalogmedia/uk/article/96365/96365_02_f.jpg Edited July 31, 2014 by MoJo Quote
discreet Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Want! Can it be got online anywhere? I'll go for a Google and see... Edit: Can't find the Lidl one, but there's this one on the Bay [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SACK-TRUCK-CART-TROLLEY-FOLDING-MULTI-PURPOSE-BARROW-HEAVY-DUTY-/331236578608?pt=UK_Lifting_Moving_Equipment&hash=item4d1f3d1530"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4d1f3d1530[/url] Not sure how practical it would be... depends what gear you've got, I suppose. See, you've got me going now... there's this one on the Zon for thirty quid [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/TROLLEY-FOLDABLE-WHEELS-TELESCOPIC-PLATFORM/dp/B00K869E8U/ref=sr_1_17?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1406825939&sr=1-17&keywords=folding+trolley+with+wheels"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/TROLLEY-FOLDABLE-WHEELS-TELESCOPIC-PLATFORM/dp/B00K869E8U/ref=sr_1_17?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1406825939&sr=1-17&keywords=folding+trolley+with+wheels[/url] Might be more useful for bass gear.

flyfisher Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 You were done. You can get a 4-wheel shopping trolley at other supermarkets for only £1 Quote
bertbass Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Ah, but one of the wheels locks after a few yards and they never go in a straight line. Quote

julietgreen Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 That's great, but then does anyone know of a mini forklift device that can get the cab into the car? I nearly kill myself trying to do this on my own. Quote

BassTractor Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) NOOOOOOOO! Not that ugly liftruck!!! What you need is something pretty... ...something that will transport your gear as well as itself! You need something that is... [b]part[/b] of the car! You need the GM Runabout!!!

KevB Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 I already have a 2 wheel sack truck but at this price thought I'd pick one up to test it out at tonight's gig and compare. Just a quick note to anyone who goes in their local Lidl and can't find one, mine was the last in the store and they'd moved it to a back room to free up space. So if you don't see it ASK, there could be some knocking around that the public can't get at! Quote

KevB Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 It did OK, did my load/unload in 2 rather than 3 trips but I don't think it will be able to cope with even a moderate kerb which my 2 wheeler can manage, decent at the price though. Doesn't take up a massive space in the car. Quote
