Where can I get an equipment trolley
Moderators: KG Steve, Chantal, Tigger, peter
Does anybody know where I can buy an equipment trolley of the type commonly found in garden centres? They are made of steel (?) mesh, have two very small wheels and long handles. I need to transport some very heavy weights and one of these would be ideal. ACE makes them but there is no price on their web site. Any idea of how much they would cost?
Is this any good?

We have what some call a Sack Trolley, which is convertible, so it is either a flat-bed or an upright one, which has proved useful even for items of furniture (not pianos...)

How about being really cheeky and asking your local garden centre if they'd loan you one for a couple of days, or if they have any which they're about to chuck because they're getting a little ancient?

Hello Barry
How much work have you got to do? How heavy are the loads? Depends what your job is but you might be better with a hired power barrow.
I always find hiring stuff concentrates the mind wonderfully on the job in hand - 'get things finished and the tool back' before the charges start mounting up is my attitude!

I did think of temporarily "borrowing" one for a couple of days from a local superstore, but find I am too well brought up...
Sadly, at 49, I can't do the pensioner bit.
I did, however, hunt down several companies on line that sell the trolleys. One had second hand ones for £29.00 plus delivery, but couldn't despatch to a private address because normal couriers cannot take them; instead they have to send them by 40 foot trailers, which cannot get into residential areas. Boo hoo hoo.
I did ask another company, which did do home delivery, whether they had any second hand or return trolleys and they said they would let me know. Their retail price plus delivery was over £100.00, which was too rich for me.
