Why isn't trolley welding covered in the Crafts Field - that'd be a winner every year

That's maybe something for OP, on the decathlon website. Even has a pocket for your flagpoles! Bit pricey through.

My modded sack truck. The wheels keep getting punctures and collapsing so I replaced the axle with a longer one and fitted puncture proof tyres.

Then the axle bent so I replaced it with high tensile steel.

Then the strips of steel connecting the axle to the main frame would also collapse so I welded a couple of triangular steel plates in.

Seems ok now!

For anyone buying this type of sack truck or any trolley with similar wheels, it is essential to check that the nuts holding the wheels on are tight enough before using in anger

Why did you go for double wheels? As in how much can that monster carry?

When on single wheels the wheel hub would collapse so that the wheel would lay flat on the ground.Twin wheels prevent that happening and also are much better on soft ground

 I think OP may not be looking for something to carry 100 kilos of gear. I'd actually be interested in some kind of mini sack truck that would carry 30 kilos or something like that. Just enough to carry a biggish tent or a very heavy pack, small enough that it wouldn't be a problem on coach. I know that we'll have to carry our gear from home to bus to train to other train to tube to hotel to tube to coach and finally to campsite so could use some help. Big wheels of course. If I had any skills in wielding I know I'd make one.

Somethiing like this but with better wheels

 

Glastonbury fields claim the lives of about 6000 of these per festival mate, save your money!

Double wheels and mucky, that’s really niche and specialist. I suppose these wheels are on porn ‘hub’ 😉

This is why I need to modify mine😃 Probably not necessary in normal use

Worried my garden trolly would not see another full trip this year. I carry both mine and my wife’s gear. I only do one trip. Splashed out on one of these.

A carp trolley. I've always thought they'd be a great festival trolley. I actually had an inferior carp trolley and it got destroyed at one festival. Just couldn't take the weight and terrain. However, it was much lighter duty than the one you have.
