$70 for a different color and brand
And 17KG extra capacity.
Why are these very light weigh capacity, what happened to the 300+ kgs. Unsure if these will even life a big bridge or a washing machine
"life a big bridge"
I'm not lifing or even lifting any bridges
.Lol meant lifting a big fridge
I have a hate/hate relationship with auto correct
.@Nugs: yeah same,
anyway been looking to get one recently and was astonished that the limit was light as years back when i got my first trolley, i thought the norm was 300kg or up
Are you moving your fridge still full of food? The heaviest French door fridge/freezer combo I can find on google is 177kg and it’s bonkers and doesn’t fit through standard doors. I just got a decent size fridge freezer combo that I had to take out do the box to get it through the apartment door and it’s roughly 100kg empty.
I can’t find a domestic washing machine with a shipping weight above 100kg. 14kg capacity machines with warnings about door sizes seem to run about 70-80kg.
200kg capacity feels like it’s probably gonna be fine for anyone who’s not moving safes or industrial stuff or something.
Interesting in my head they seemed heavier😅
fridges are awkward and don’t have good handles which is the main problem. And fridges you want to transport the. upright for the sake of the compressors. I used to train strong man and it was a relatively common bit to see dudes put a decent size single door fridge on one shoulder and run with it.
Washing machines often have a weight plate at the bottom that makes them super awkward to handle, and again - no useful hand holds. And you don’t want to jostle them too much in transport or the drum bouncing around can damage them. Almost everyone loses the drum lock pins between buying the machine and moving house. But if the same weight was in nice ergonomic shape with no fragile parts and a good handle - it wouldn’t be that big a deal for someone to bench press it for reps.
Big BBQ’s are often the most aggravating thing to move even though they aren’t that heavy - because most of them have obvious places to grab them that aren’t remotely strong enough. Two people with Straps underneath being used as lift handles are the only good way to move the damn things since they’re assembled that I know of - even if you’re a gorilla who can bicep curl the weight.
Books are the real reason why moving trolleys need to be strong. People who aren’t moving the boxes always seem to think it’s a great idea to pack giant boxes completely full of books.
This trolley does not have curved handle at the top to protect hands from large items when in upright position. It’s damn inconvenient.

Like all folding trolleys, this trolley is a terrible choice if you’ve got room to store a proper one. Folding Trolleys are always more expensive and worse. The design is a giant compromise to make them easier to store.
The wheels are lovely for storage and work great over perfectly flat concrete or something. But yikes, decking, the tiniest step in the world, tiles or pavers, or even a nail down strip on the edge of carpet they’re a pain in the proverbial. Regular inflatable tyres on a fixed position trolley is so much nicer to use.
But I don’t have a good place to store a good trolley, so a cheap folding one does the job for occasional use.
Summed very well 👏
I learned the hard way. I have both the trolleys and 99% times used the curved straight one.
I reckon its a great concept.. heaps around with a lot of claims as far as weight goes .. I doubt any of them can handle the weight advertised.. by design thats not possible, doesnt matter what the manufacturer or seller says ..but I'll buy one on the sydney tools site.. thanks to whoever posted that ..there are some on amazon with a 200kg payload being advertised..I doubt anything designed like this can handle more than a 100 kgs..if that
70kg lightweight folding version for $47 at Bunnings, if you don't need the 4-wheel usage for bigger loads.
lol Its all about engineering….it is only as strong as its strongest joint, you can't expect it to handle 300kgs unless you start beefing it up like heavy machinery and by then it'd be too heavy to start porting about.
Moving soon, good find. Thank you!
Have used the below one from bunnings without any problem in my recent apartment move in. No problem and big tyres I believe have some advantages

I've got this one which is very similar and much cheaper. Does a good job.
