RockNRoller R12RT (All-Terrain)

Having had lots of poor transport options before, now our band has started gigging a lot more, and with a lot more gear, we've upgraded everything. After looking through loads of options we thought this RockNRoller cart was big enough for most of our kit and we went with the All-Terrain wheel version since there are still some awkward entrances at smaller venues when you're forced to park up on uneven, badly lit surfaces out back.

The whole idea of this sort of cart is great. Unfortunately the build quality must have dropped recently as I'm not sure how everyone can give it such high scores. Rather than having a simple latching system to set up and down, the sections use really poor cables to deform the metal and the support struts simply don't fit. We ended up having to bend the metal struts with pliers to get the cart set up and it's very poorly designed in that the folding sections don't quite fit together neatly so they always stick out and swing wildly into part position when in storage. You can easily smash something or slice your finger open.

Given the price I was expecting a bit more in the quality control department. It's still a very good idea and it does work better than many of the equipment trollies that are designed for factories and people with big warehouses - unfortunately given how poor this one was put together and some really stupid flaws with latching it's probably not worth the money.
