JGale Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 What do y'all use to move PA cabinets, etc. to/from stage/van? Something small if possible, with wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottcald Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 How large is the PA? If it's huge, I'd start with shopping for some newer stuff. You can get lots of volume out of smaller PA speakers. That said, I haven't used it, but gruvgear has a pretty cool looking carts: http://www.kranecarts.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soli'd Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I like this thing with some bungee cords. it's kinda heavy, but it feels like it should be. Can be configured for a hand truck that can be pulled up stairs, or a rolling dolly. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/R2RT--rock-n-roller-r2rt-micro-multi-cart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shankyboy Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I have a Rock-n-Roller cart that I bought back in 2004 that has served me well for hauling gear. They come in different sizes. Mine is the smallest one cause my PA is pretty compact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Another endorsement for the rock-n-roller cart. Have been using the same one for 14-15 years and it's never let me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamerhead Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I ended up saying f*** it and put wheels on everything. Works great until you play on a hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
currypowder Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I have one of these 3 in 1 carts at home and I use it all the time for a variety of carrying uses. I don't use it for gear transport, but I'm guessing it would work well. https://www.amazon.com/Cosco-Aluminum-Truck-Assisted-wheels/dp/B00HOGSOPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamer95USA Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Rock N' Roller multicart R6 that I bought new & already assembled from a local Craig's seller for $100. Amazon sent him 2 by mistake. Guitar George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloozguy Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I bought one of these from Sweetwater a few years ago: It was an open box deal at a price I couldn't pass up. Arrived with no packing and slightly damaged so they had me return it and sent me a brand new one to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamerDave Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 +1 for the Rock and Roller. We've downsized the pa to a pair of Turbosound towers and one rack case so I can get it all in one trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does have stair climber rails. Used only in extreme cases, though. I either put casters on it or pile a bunch of stuff on a lighter duty two-wheeler. Were I to do it from scratch I'd get a Rock 'n' Roller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svl Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Destroyed multiple top of the line Rock-n-Roller carts, they just can't handle the workload. Switched to Krane, made all the difference. 360 turning radius, heavy duty weldings, construction, etc, small folded footprint, winner winner chicken dinner. The bad? The wait list I was on to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
