Title: Trolley for Fairs
Post by: EJ on February 04, 2010, 08:31:02 PM
I decided that I needed a decent trolley to help me get amy boxes and display stuff to the table at venues (the mart is generally OK 'cos I can usually drive up to the stall).

Bearing in mind that outdoor events - or even just carparks need better wheels than the little castor type ones on the average luggage trolley I went looking for a lightweight folding sack trolley.

Just had delivery of this from Transtools (http://www.transtools.co.uk/store/prod_10619/store/safety-and-protection/cargo-handling/einhell-bt-ht90-folding-hand-sack-truck.html) which should do the job nicely, very compact when folded.

(will take up to 90kg so fine for moving washing machine, fridge etc.)

That is brilliant - I could have so done with that last time we moved...washing machines and large CRT TVs are not fun to carry around

Keep an eye on Aldi and Lidls too. The do a very reasonable strong sack trolley from time to time. Usually Spring and late Summer(yes their stuff is very seasonal after a while you get to know when to keep an eye on them, worth signing up for their newsletters, weekly though)

I had one like that but didn't really get on with it... In the end got one from QD for about £15 with pump-up tyres. It's brilliant but doesn't fold :(

I got one from B&Q, great but the kick out bit was a bit short for my boxes but J attached a bit of wood and now works a treat, think it was under 20 squid.

Yup - all it needs to hold the boxes is a long bungee or two and we have plenty of those.
