Trolley for Twinset Advice Needed

Hi all, just about to get my twinset and I wanted to get a view on trolleys.

Maplin are doing a folding trolley at the moment for £29.95 and it takes up to 80kg.
Folding Trolley

Any views about whether this is good enough, or should I spend more/less money and get something else...??

Thanks,
Gareth.

I used to have one but I don't use it any more. In fact I think I gave it away at a Stoney gog for a charity donation. I just hump my twinset on my back and walk it down.

I use the steel frame version of the same Clarke trolley - ACE. Get them also from Argos, and Machine Mart - might be worth comparing prices.

Also get a bungee to hold cylinder on trolley. I get fully rigged twins and 7 lt stage without trouble.

Some people have had problems with the plastic latch - I am NOT one of them.

Cheers, Paul

NO NO NO

Do not get a folding one - they fold up at the wrong time.....

MachineMart do a basic one for about 15 quid.
