5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Light-Duty Barrow / Trolley
I've been wanting something like this for a while but was basically looking for a good excuse to get one. With the recent COVID-19-related lockdown, I have been ordering large vegetable and dairy box supplies for some of my neighbours and delivering them to their doorsteps. I was going this in the car due to the size and weight of the boxes (and to avoid a potential repeat of that one time when I walked a box to its destination and the bottom fell out depositing quality vedge everywhere - embarrassing) and although some of my neighbours are a good few hundred metres away (doesn't sound like much, but it is when your're old and carrying stuff), it nevertheless seemed a little environmentally unfriendly starting and stopping a diesel vehicle carrying these deliveries out. So, I bought one of these... so that I could wheel them around instead.I didn't do that much research... I basically looked at carrying capacity / versatility (80kg as a barrow / 137kg as a trolley), and portability / store-ability (weighs 8kg and folds flat)... and then picked a brand that I recognised! This ticked all the boxes and while it wasn't the cheapest, it wasn't outrageous.In use, it's brilliant. It unfolds from flat to four-wheeled (two fixed / two castor) trolley easily enough with the releasing of a sprung-loaded catch. A further catch-releasing action then turns it into a two wheeled barrow (with the remaining two castors magnetically held neatly in place out of the way). The handle in either mode is height adjustable and the barrow base plate can be deployed in trolley mode to better secure box-shaped cargo. It feels pretty solid when loaded and is easily maneuverable as the wheels roll well and quietly enough even on reasonably uneven paving. For what I'm currently using it for, it's perfect.Downsides? Not a lot really. The wheels in trolley mode aren't spot-on level (so it tips slightly from corner to corner when unloaded) but is mostly undetectable when in use. And there may be some parts of its metal / plastic construction which might not fair too well if used in a fairly rugged environment... like those [plastic] catches for example, which if broken will render the whole thing mostly unusable. It could also do with weight warning stickers on it to remind the user what it's realistically capable of as its perceived robustness may encourage use beyond its capability. I can imagine there might be the odd individual attempting to use one to transport a grand piano...Other than that, this excellent light-duty barrow / trolley is just what my current situation needs and is highly recommended.
5.0 out of 5 stars It just works.
I have a 50 litre military style range bag packed with all of my accessories used when at the shooting range and the weight was getting too much for me due to suffering from COPD as I'd get out of breath after carrying it up the steep slope to shooting benches so I've invested in one of these which just takes the bag comfortably.I've finally got around to using it recently and each time I've used it, it works a treat and that is using it over quite uneven ground. It makes light work of transporting my heavy range bag and although I intend to purchase the matching basket, my range bag fits nicely on the base without need of the basket and I just secure the bag with two bungie cords and the job's a good'n.I really wasn't expecting much as I bought it used from Bolo Warehouse which they said was second hand item and scratched but in all honesty it looked new to me, in fact I've put more scratches on it since I've used it.I was caught out by the fact that it was in Germany rather than England but was here within a week which they promised and it had roughly one third off the normal price and free delivery so I'm certainly not complaining.The hand truck itself feels surprisingly sturdy, I was even a little surprised at it's weight though don't let that put you off as it was a pleasant surprise and the weight actually gives one confidence that it's doesn't feel cheap and nasty. When you pick it up it feels good.It's a dream to assemble or fold down and folds to a very neat near flat package when not in use. Extending the handle to the correct height is simple as is lowering it.I bought this model as I liked the idea of the basket that fits onto it and which I'll more than probably add one at a later date.The hand truck also takes up so little space when folded that it can remain stored permanently in the trunk of my car until needed. It would be ideal with the basket as it too folds so again that too could remain in the trunk.In a nutshell it just works.
5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute gem!
Love this thing, Compact, strong and lightweight. Would buy again in an instant
4.0 out of 5 stars Great quality, reasonable price
I was initially apprehensive about spending so much money on something that would be used occasionally, but it does seem to be worth it. It is very sturdy and well built. It comfortably handles heavy items and moves with relative ease when doing so on a smooth flat surface. Yet to try it on tarmac/gravel/grass. The only downside to this is how heavy it is. It would have also been useful to have some simple instructions for folding/unfolding but it didn't take long to figure out through trial and error. Overall pleased with this purchase.
5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy, useful, well made
Absolutely brilliant. This cart is sturdy, well-built, and easy to move. It was delivered quickly, and easy to assemble (remove screws and washers, add wheels, re-place the screws and washers), only needed a plier for tightening screws. It folds easily, too. The handle grips slide a bit, but it’s not been a real problem yet. The aluminium base does dent, not surprisingly, but it’s a great size and very sturdy. Bought this to help move supplies, equipment, and furniture from one site to another nearby building. The wheels are strong and have no difficulty on various surfaces (commercial carpet, tarmac, epoxy flooring). When folded, I can easily lift it and place it in the back of my fiat 500. Highly recommend!
Moving Day Hero
This hand truck is worth its weight in gold. I bought it for a move a few months ago and boy did we put it to work! It was so handy to have the dolly to move the items that I didn't have the movers take. Since my move, I have used to haul heavy groceries (like the 23kg kitty litter box from Costco) and to move pieces of furniture. I cannot emphasize how much I love this thing.
Excellent product
Shorter than other cart, which I like about it. Compact but tall enough for smooth pulling. Only downside is that Bolo sent me an used product. I even see the return label on the inside box. What are you doing, Bolo? Now I can't trust you to send me a new product every time. Quite a shock for me. I am getting it returned and buying new one again, but so much hassle.
Solid Construction and Worth its Weight in Gold
Would not be without this compact mighty little helper. Also purchased this cord and keep it with the unit - "Keeper 06118 Ultra 48" Black/Yellow Flat Bungee Cord" (someone recommended purchasing these 2 products together, very handy and strong). Moved 10lb bags of rocks (25 of them) when delivered from our front yard to the back yard. Amazingly easy, otherwise impossible without additional help. Very well constructed and compact.We have a small garage and it takes up no space at all. Thank you Stanley for making this product, how did we manage without it?? Kate
excelente un poco caro pero vale la pena
buen producto , funcionamiento y calidad , funciona muy bien y carga muchisimo super buen producto
Works as advertised. Good quality and durable.
When i received the item, the shipping box has multiple holes but the item is unscathed. I inspected thoroughly to make sure nothing is missing or broken. The item is made from durable materials and assembled almost perfectly. I say almost perfectly because there are 2 rivets that are not as tight as the rest but it’s not a concern. I could simply tighten them.
