Advice on those little gear cart thingys

[Scott F]

I'm looking for recommendations from fellow users on a good gear cart. (and perhaps a comical image from Pookie)

Stipulation: It must collapse to fit in the trunk of a Honda Civic. I'm not looking to haul a TON of gear, just several bags.

I think as well as functionality, I need something to appear more organized to clients when loading in gear.

B&H, for example, has many options, I'm looking to keep the purchase under $100 but am open to suggestions. Thanks.

Are you looking for a hand truck so you can stack a lot of gear on it, or are you looking for an actual equipment cart?

Something along these lines.


I could probably find something simliar at Home Depot.

Now, I just went on a shoot where we had one of those collapsable wagons. They are nice. I may look into that.

And unclebob, those sound carts are NICE, but too big and expensive for what I'm looking for.

Look at a Rock-N-Roller. They're collapsible and configurable, and I believe you can get shelves for them to turn them into production carts once you're unloaded.

If you're reasonably handy, you could make your own custom one with 80/20 components. A cheaper alternative would be to use unistrut or superstrut components (some of which are at Home Depot).

You can get them at Guitar Center or Sam Ash, if you have one of those close.

Thanks guys. Looks like I can use that to haul my drum kit as well .

Wesco makes a nice one. Collapses nicely too. I was thinking of this one for similar uses, but with a Subaru Impreza.

Funny enough, I read your post while at a meeting right around the corner from a Sam Ash. 100 bucks later, I'm happy. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again for the quick responses.

BTW Bruce, Sam Ash also had the Wesco model (or very similar) but it was $135 and I don't think it will work as well for me as the Rock and roller.
