Not worth the money. It is a feeble and fragile cart. It is not made with the contractor in mind nor the jobsite, it is more meant for sales agents traveling from office building to office building.

Get this cart instead: Ruxxac Business XL

I have it, it is very sturdy and it is a perfect fit for systainers or any other tools you have. Folds up very small.

See this thread or this thread for a previous discussion of the Tanos cart, and with pictures of carts I and others have to do it's supposed job a lot better and cheaper.
 
I have one! 

It's a pile of crap!  Don't buy it not worth £10 

The wheels are rock hard so you basically rattle your tools to pits!  You hit a little stone it's like hitting a mountain! It stops you dead and if it doesn't it tips the kart over so much that your systainers wil fall off.

  If you wanna stack A few systainer you need to tie it but you can't tie it down well any where so you gotta hold you systainers while you pull it along incase they fall off.

    If you want to just carry one systainer 5 or couple systainers 2/3s then you will be okay but you might as well carry them.

Over and out

like roller skating in a gravel quarry?

the Faultless 90751 RuXXac Fold-Flat Cart is what i got, about 8
years ago... works wonderfully.... at the time i bought it, it was
imported into the US by bon ami, the cleaning products company.
odd item for them to be importing...

it was available with a small and a large foot, in chrome plate,
or stainless steel frame... i opted for the stainless steel and large
foot, which i don't think they offer any more.. but the things work
wonderfully......
 
I have one similar to what alex posted that I ordered from Lee Valley http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=46460&cat=1,43456,43391
I use it for transporting my portable kit for film work, a sys 4 for my tool belt (loaded) sys2 for the T-15, Sys 1 for the cxs and a Veto Pro pack xxl f (loaded). It's rated for up to 275 pounds very sturdy build yet light and folds up very compact to get out of the way when you need your space. reccomended
 
Ive got this onewhich cost me about £40. I've seen it in all sorts of places and I think I got mine from Axminster. It folds falt and is a little flimsy but treated correctly it is more than adequate for the job. I make sure that I pull the load towards me till it is balanced in the transport position. I don't use the handles of the trolley to lever the load into position if that makes sense. I do use mine for systainers but mostly getting kitchen units on to site. It is magic for wheeling around a 2150mm high larder tower. I just leave the wheels connected to the base and grab the top of the tower and wheel it about like a wheelbarrow.

At £24.99 it has to be worth a shot!!
 
I have a wolfcraft one , very solid, systainers fit on it if not totally snug but good enough. Its a very solid trolley , my main use is for fitting tall tower kitchen units and for moving machines around when fitting kitchens , makes it a breeze  ;D
 
Wierdly I was chatting to a colleague about this very subject only a few days ago. Ive been stalling on buying a trolley as some
do look quite "flimsy", but having read all your comments so far I think I may now take the plunge!
I'll have to keep it hidden away as Mrs.D will want it for shopping trips to the Shoe store!!!  [scared]
"The horror...... the horror"

Mat.
 
i use it regularly all though its not a super duty item it is light and adgile . i can only say at my age every pound you bring to the job is twice as much when you leave so i like it i don't like the no strap feature it does require too bungee cords
