HEADS UP *A Useful tool in Aldi*

ESBlonde

Those that struggle with heavy amps and such should note that Aldi have their folding heavy duty sack barrow for £14.99 this week

I've had mine about 10 years now and apart from tightening up the odd screw it's brilliant.

They are sold under various other brand names up to £40 but no one else does them this cheap.

90Kg rating too… that means I could put both my amps on it at once! (Just .)

Goddammit; I paid nearly thirty quid for one last week

If only I didn't have those 15 steps going up to my front door...

Don't worry it's still a good buy, but for this money it's worth shouting about.

ABOUT!

Good heads up - shame it can't help with schlapping stuff up/down stairs and lifting it into/out of the car - wonder if they do one with a hoist!!  :P

I bought a crappier one for more money at Maplins *sob*

Me too! Needed something in a hurry to get an amp to a gig, cost me most of my bloody fee

Can these be bought online? Can't see a "buy" button...

No.

In store only, unfortunately. I've bought two of these in the past, one got left behind at a gig and it's replacement (bought for EIGHT QUID when they were on clearance!) met an untimely end when someone's half-arsed van pack left it in the flight path of a fast-moving flightcase and it folded in half. I'll most likely be buying another! They're a bloody lifesaver.

Is this place sponsored by Aldi now?

I used to move huge boxes in work with one of these. It took an absolute beating and kept coming back for more. I've never used a trolley for band gear though, just carried it all. No reason why really. Time for a trip to Aldi perhaps.
