I will just have to use my $35.oo home depot cart for a while longer!

Another vote for R&R and I wasn't even using an arranger when I worked nursing homes (guitar and backing tracks). Several of the facilities were large with different sections and required a considerable trek to get where you were going. I remember one facility where after a certain hour you could only use one door to leave (for security I guess) and it was not close to where I setup. R&R was also a good conversation starter-the residents were often fascinated the fact that it changed size.

Back surgery, lifetime of pain - priceless!

One 'problem' on this board is that sometimes people portray an "if you're not doing/using what I do/use you're doing it wrong" attitude ...
I have no doubt that a RnR cart is excellent, but I have been using a less expensive model for several years now and it works very well ...
One can buy a Mercedes, but a Ford will do the same job ...

I REALLY DO use roadies...my son and grandson. Regular job is a house one. anything else is either a group job (kid and grand kid move, hook-up and test all equipment) or a show up and play with different groups. Then, most I'll carry is a keyboard, guitar and personal monitor.

The may in fact use a Rock N Roller. I'll check.

I really do too! I just drive up to the door of where I work and the valet asks if I have anything to unload. If yes, he will take it in, or get help from busboys. They have been doing this for years and are very careful.
If I'm doing a job at a different location I sometimes use the rock'n roller cart.

I agree!! My wide body Harbor Freight Platform suits my requirements perfectly.

This platform truck gives you up to six square feet of carry space making it easy to move large, awkward and heavy loads. Rubberized deck has a nonskid surface. Rubber edge bumper protects walls. Quick-release handle folds down for compact storage.
Hauls up to 440 lbs.
5 in. smooth rolling casters (2 rigid, 2 swivel)
Steel construction
Powder coat finish


My JBL Eon One came with transporter case with wheels.

I find the weight, and bulk of the R&R cart to be counterproductive in many situations. It's heavy to lift into my car, bulky, and difficult to store with other gear, as well. My rig is very compact, and I can do quite nicely with 1 trip, using a standard, folding type cart. A traditional, L shape dolly. I got mine at GC for $54.
I only use the R&R when I do Casino work, or I need to use a parking garage to get to my destination. For simple in-out deals ... even withOUT a cart, I'm in and out in 2 trips.

The great thing about the Rock And Roller Cart is it was designed by musicians, for musicians. It has features that most of the Home Depot and Lowes carts do not have, including the ability to extend or contract it to nearly any desired length, folding handles that make transporting it very easy and compact, great load capacity, curb skids that also work on carpeted stairs (I think they would damage wooden steps) and the ability to add a second tier in a matter of seconds, thus eliminating the stacking of gear on top of other gear. That second tier, as you can see in my video, also acts as a work station during setup. Sure, it cost a bit more, but to me, it was well worth the added expense to have something this versatile. For many years prior to being introduced to the Rock And Roller Cart, I used a heavy-duty, convertible, refrigerator dolly that weighed twice as much as the R&R Cart. It had balloon tires on the back, hard tires on the front, but no front handle and no ability to add a second tier.

The choice is yours,
