Rock-N-Roller R12RT (All Terrain) 8-in-1 Folding Multi-Cart/Hand Truck/Dolly/Platform Cart/34" to 52" Telescoping Frame/500 lbs. Load Capacity, Black

I have been eyeing different versions of the these carts for quite some time (like a few years) and not quite pulling the trigger for various reasons. I was able to get by with other solutions that kinda worked, but were sometimes a bit precarious for all the cargo I was trying to load up (usually photo/video gear). I took another look at this when I got a music job that would require me hauling a few bins of small handheld instruments as well as my keyboard between 4 different classrooms - with only 5 minutes of transition time. I had previously purchased a foldable wagon (which was the best purchase I had ever made for hauling stuff), but knew it would remotely work for this particular job.I decided on the R10RT because I needed something pretty big and wanted a version that would not have small wheels and only work on perfect floors. This cart was a PERFECT solution for my job, allowed me to smoothly roll everything around and (with a modification) serve as a keyboard stand as well. I added a platform to the top section (and intend to add another), making use of the built-in holes in the handles, and was able to turn it into a rolling music machine. I used it at full length (52") and had to learn how to maneuver it around a couple tight corners, but this thing was a life-saver! There is no way I could have done the job without it. Like NO way.I read pretty much all the reviews (which is why it takes me forever to purchase anything) and was well aware of any potential issues - and willing to accept the "risks". This unit is VERY easy to set up and operate, I don't feel there are any quality issues at all, I didn't experience issues with the paint (and think I'll survive if some does scrape off). I immediately knew that I had made the right move when I saw how much stuff I could load up on it and how easily it rolled around. If you need to haul a bunch of stuff around in one trip, get this unit. I spent so much time using inferior solutions (hand trucks loaded up with everything bungee tied together, rolling bags combined with backpacks of stuff, etc.) and realized that there was no reason for me to have to struggle with carrying all my stuff when there was a great solution already out there. You seriously will not have regrets, and you will wonder (like me) why on earth you didn't get something like this before.

I purchased this to move both my drum kit and PA gear. I owned the R2 Micro model, which served me well for over six years, but needed something bigger. This is exactly the best solution for those infrequent occasions when I need to haul more gear than normal.Assembly was easy, and this thing is absolutely sturdy. The minus is it is a lot heavier than the R2, and takes up more space than I expected. Where the R2 easily fits in my Mitsubishi Outlander's cargo area with room to spare, this cart takes up a lot more space. But I am not complaining because this will handle the same amount of gear in a single trip that required two trips with the R2.As an aside, I also purchased the new R2 model (now called an R2RT) to replace my old R2, which supported me for over 1500 gigs and was showing its age. I am using that one more often, but that is only because I only need this larger cart for occasional gigs when I am required to haul more gear.Bottom line: I love this cart and have had it since November 2020, so I have had some quality time with it and there are no major issues. In fact, aside from the size and weight, there are no minor issues either.

What can I say? This multi-cart is amazing! After spending quite some time debating what kind of cart to purchase to make moving my music gear easier, I decided to finally pull the trigger on the Rock-N-Roller R6RT mini, and haven't looked back. This thing is great! I don't use many of the forms besides the standard cart layout, but it's nice to know that I can also use it as a dolly/hand truck if need be. Its the perfect size to carry two speakers, turntables and a gear bag. The fact that it folds up is a game-changer, too. I can take this anywhere, paved or offroad, and have never had any problems with it yet. This is a must-buy for any traveling musician!
