Moving your gear from the car to the venue

Not sure if this is the right board to post but I can't determine any other.

On another thread I mentioned the weight of the old PSR 9000 Pro. At the time, and subsequently for other equipment, I used a Wolfcraft sack barrow (trolley/ truck - American English) to ferry the equipment over flat ground.  [ A folding unit with 6 rotating wheels and pneumatic tyres would have been ideal for stairs but nothing suitable was available at the time].  It was always a struggle.
Still, a good investment. Handy for moving white goods, furniture and bags of cement, floor tiles etc.  ;D

All my gear had to fit into a large estate car with the passenger seat reserved to accommodate a female singer.

What do other people use, or do you transport the bare minimum?

Thanks very much for the tip. They all look designed for the job. This one has bigger tyres to cushion the load.

RockNRollerĀ® Multi-CartĀ® R12STEALTH "All Terrain Stealth"

This model is not cheap at $329 but time and convenience are more important. On a flat surface could probably
take all the gear in one trip.

The venue provides me a cart. Sometimes it is large enough to put it all on at once. Sometime it takes 3 trips.
