BrunoBass Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I thought I'd share this with you all. I recently acquired a 4x10 combo that weighs more than a collapsed star and was thinking of ways to easily transfer it to my car. I found this, less than £20 and it fits exactly the footprint of the combo. It's good for 150kg and I'm absolutely made up with it!

Cat Burrito Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I spent an evening looking for one online a few months ago... then it dawned on me that I have my amp flightcased for tours so on the individual shows where I can just put my amp in a padded cover to transport in the car I take the bottom of the flightcase and hey presto, same thing.

PaulWarning Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 you'll be amazed how many gigs you get where there's flight of stairs involved now, even at best how many gigs are there with no steps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when it comes to lifting it the whole lot moves together. There's nothing worse then lifting the cab to get it over a threshold only to have the wheels rolling off in the opposite direction.

dmccombe7 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I went for one of these from ebay. Arrived quickly and its pretty solid. Rubber tyres on steel wheels. Easy enough to change the wheels to pneumatic if needed. And delivered all for £17 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131444996811?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzbass Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 but it has no handle, how are you gonna push it? Should've spent ten quid more and got the one with a push bar. Or a folding hand truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
