Folding Barrows - Are They Worthwhile?

[Megamix]

I've struggled along without any assistance (apart from missus carrying few light things) but have an awkward gig coming up.

I have a proper sack barrow that lifts hundred of kilos but wont be able fit it in - but is something like this barrow (link) really going to cut the mustard?

TBH that looks the same as the folding truck sold by focus (and others).
I had one , the first time I tried to move a class D sub , the handle went back , but the platform stayed where is was , complete with speaker .
I use a trolley with proper tyres , the platform still folds up against the body , takes up a bit more room , but not much.
A bit like this.

I use one of these - http://www.screwfix.com/prods/27108/...n-1-Hand-Truck

Would definitley recomend it over the cheaper ones I've used before as the wheels actually go over gravel and small steps rather than get completely stuck!

Can't find anything similar to the fantastic shopping channel one I saw years ago, but this place is interesting.

I've got 8 and 15, plus others from the sack truck range, but many of those are day job, not disco.

Mmm... the trolleys look a much better solution than the standard barrow with small holding area

I just bought one of those too

I like it but the lads prefer to just carry the stuff!

Apologies for the thread resurrection but I'm looking to buy a platform trolley, it would be used to carry 2 mackies, an active sub and a couple of flightcases (in one hit hopefully)) I really didn't expect choosing one to be such a chore ffs, here's the ones I've looked at so far...

Anyone one else use one? Sack barrow or platform best? Worth the space it takes up in the van?

Thanks in advance

Mine were not cheap, but them Class D's are heavy.


Edit: Mark, I had a folding one, the one I linked to is stronger, you just have to unscrew the handle with two bolts instead.

I have a flat bed trolley that I bought from Costco years ago and the one thing that I would say look out for is pneumatic tyres. They are a godsend over gravel, grass and anything a bit uneven.

I really wish I'd bought more of them as it was less than £30!
