If price isn’t a primary concern, Krane’s AMG 500 or 750 carts may be an option:
KRANE AMG - Advanced Moving Gear
Krane AMG (Advanced Moving Gear) designs and builds some of the most innovative folding utility carts for film, photo, and music.www.kranecarts.com
A buddy who’s big on single-trip load-ins & load-outs bought the 750 last year and it is an impressive cart. Very good build quality and very versatile, just more than I currently need. One of Krane’s videos shows a photographer using it to unload and transport his gear that it is fairly representative of how flexible it seemed to me.Have you tried them, they look cool although a little expensive!?
I have a rock and roller cart. I stack it up as logically as I can, then I bungee the stuff down with 2 straps for the ride in.I'd love to see how some of you stack. Got any pictures?
Don't own a cart but it would be nice after years of gigs with multiple hauling trips carrying. At times when I've been able to borrow a cart, stacking round drums, cymbal bag & a monitor is always tricky with stuff nearly falling off on corners or road bumps. Can't stand that! My stands aren't a problem because they're all in a SKB case with wheels.
I like the idea of that AMG 500 with bass drum on bottom followed by floor tom, snare, racks, etc. That looks like they'd stay put.
So how do you guys do it?
