Festival trolley

[Sherpa Benji]

If anyone needs a large trolley to carry their camping kit in this year then we're making and selling these trollies. They're very strong, easy to move and have a large capacity.

and here is three that are not so good 

that was in 2010 so it was dry - even so they were really struggling and that was on the track.

Now when we could drive and park beside our tents onsite { the early years } we would never take so much stuff so I cant work out why people are transporting so much stuff these days.

I always wait at Gate D for the gates to open for the first time and I get the impression that more stuff is brought in each year - sure if the ground is fine its not such a problem but when its heavy going people will dump stuff at the side of the track and it makes a bloody mess.

It's important to point out that the efestivals shop have trolleys too - http://camping.efestivals.co.uk/festival-trolleys--wagons-75-c.asp

But I certainly admire that you make your own

"Simple, yet highly effective at carrying big lads."

That'll come in handy when it all gets too much for some of our group... 

On the other hand, points deducted for showing the trolley carrying glass bottles...

Why do I get an image of a rusty old bike when I click on the e-bay link? Need a hefty trolley...

I'm after some advice on trolleys, keeping in mind the EFestivals one is out of stock.

I'm looking at this one from Screwfix, how do people think it compares? I'm a bit concerned that the toe plate could be a bit small.

Does anyone have any better alternatives?

Should I be looking at something like this instead?

Lesson learned to order suppliers earlier in future...

@fes.tiv.alI got the P truck from screw fix today.  It's very good, and the height is better than the one with two handles, so you'll be able to get more on. The welds are a bit shit, so I may beef them up a bit, and I'm putting nylocks on each 4 stud wheel.  The toe plate is fine if you strap your beer/ cool box on the bottom

Ive tried several different methods. trollies falling apart, 4 wheels getting stuck...

The very best thing you can use is a wheelbarrow. Cheap, metal. Used the same one for the last 6 years. You can use it as a fire pit as well.

If anyone is looking to get a sack truck I've ordered 2 from ebay, cheap and heavy duty. We've tested them out and they are great. The first one I got was only £18 and then picked this one up for £24
