Rock-N-Roller R2RT (Micro) 8-in-1 Folding Multi-Cart/Hand Truck/Dolly/Platform Cart/26" to 39" Telescoping Frame/350 lbs. Load Capacity, Black

I’ve had this amazing little compact cart since 2017. Initially, I’d put a total of 450 pounds of gear on this cart regularly, now my gear is more condensed, weighing in at around 220 pounds, despite the wear and tear, it’s still going strong. My typical gear used to be two 45 pound speakers, a 90 pound subwoofer, a DJ Deck flight case, as well as a live sound mixer in a flight case, a four panel DJ Facade, two hydraulic lift stages and a set of moving LED lights. After a few years of DJing with this setup, my gear became far more condensed due to increased back pain from an accident. My current gear consists of an EV Evolve 50m and an Evolve 50, a two panel DJ Facade, and a lightweight Numark MixTrack Platinum FX in a matching flight case, which is used in place of my far heavier, more professional Numark NV 2 that’s in a much larger flight case. My live sound mixer only goes out on Karaoke nights, while my lighter gear is used for weddings and DJ nights. Regardless of what’s on here, this cart is rugged and convenient, especially when it’s folded up into my Nissan Murano LE where all of my gear fits into the trunk with one of the seats down in a streamlined Tetris like configuration that still allows me to see out of the Murano’s narrow back window. This cart only gave me one issue since 2017 which is difficult to fault it for, hence my 5 star review. The front right wheel of the cart hit a slight crack in a cement sidewalk, given the highly uneven weight distribution, the front left castor wheel came off, spilling out tiny metal beads which are used to keep the smooth wheel rotations on track. One of my best friends went to Home Depot with my cart while I was DJing a wedding, and he essentially replaced the wheel with a gray castor wheel that’s the exact same size as the original yellow one. As noted, aside from this incident that’s a fault of the cracked concrete sidewalk, this cart has been one of my most indispensable DJ tools since 2017. I also purchased the official carpeted wooden plank add-on, which added far more use to this amazing little cart, since it doubles as a way to bring groceries into my apartment. The trip upstairs would be difficult without this cart given that I’m in a permanent garage parking spot that’s fairly far away from the ramp to the building’s elevator, and then my apartment is the last one at the end of a long hallway. All in all, this cart paid itself off after my first DJ event, cutting my pack up times in half by reducing the amount of trips down to two. If you DJ, you need this cart as a part of your set of indispensable DJ tools.

Perfect cart for my acoustic guitar, amp and gig case. It’s surprisingly sturdy and well made. The wheels are the smallest of any of their carts, but frankly, they work just fine. Probably not good if you transport stuff over turf or loose material, but for sidewalks and driveways, they’re more than enough. If you’re tall, know that you’ll probably have to lean over to push or pull it. The handles on either end are different lengths but even the longer of the two isn’t all that tall. I’m 5’7” so it isn’t an issue for me. If you’re 6’ or more, you might want to look at one of the bigger models. I’d measure from the floor, and see if the advertised height of the longest side reaches up high enough for you. See if it’s an issue. If I was designing it, I’d include some sort of catch or retainer to snap and hold it together when folded. As it is, I use a bungee cord to keep the handles attached to the frame when it’s folded up. Not a deal breaker, but it could really use that feature. Magnets, spring clip... something. About opening and closing the handles... This is their smallest and narrowest cart. So the handle width on the short end is only about 8” wide. The reason that matters is that, to open and close the handles, there is an installed cable you pull on to bend in the bottom of the handle to get it past the stop/lock pins on the frame. There isn’t a lot of clearance to get past the lock pins and so the narrower side handle takes a pretty good amount of force on the cable to pull and hold so you can pivot the handle into place. The longer side is wider and bends in easier. The short side is more work. A bigger cart would be easier, but this size works for me, so I’ve just had to live with it and learn its quirks. Bottom line, it’s a really good cart. It’s small, narrow, lightweight, has surprisingly good wheels and casters and will hold a ridiculous amount of weight. It’ll expand in length and hold a bunch of gear. It’s really good and maybe great, but it’s not perfect. One other upgrade I’d encourage the designers to explore would be to install some plastic glide strips to the underside of the skid area on the frame in front of the rear wheels. There’s not a lot of clearance under the cart in that area and you might end up lifting the front and dragging the back a bit to get it over a step or something. A plastic glide on the frame would protect the edges of a step from the metal frame until the wheels can get where they need to be in getting over a rise. Just my two cents worth. But it’s still an easy 5-star rating.

This little cart is insane. Infinitely strong and the uses are endless. I’m a live event audio engineer, and I bought this to leave in my truck for when I’m doing small freelance shows and have to haul gear around by myself. We had one at my old job, and everyone loved it so much that I had to buy one for myself. It’s the perfect size for a few Pelican cases and a couple of powered speakers. If you want to double your load size, just put a ratchet strap over it and you can haul six K12s with no issue. I’ve also used it to haul a pair of dual-18” subwoofers because I didn’t have anything else around with wheels, and it worked flawlessly. It’s indestructible. I just moved into a new apartment and used it to move everything I own. Threw six moving boxes on it at a time and it was great. Used it as a tilt-back furniture dolly to pick up furniture from the mailroom. Flattened it out and used it to haul my mattress. I don’t know how this thing is as cheap as it is, but in the highly unlikely event that I ever manage to break it, I’ll buy another one in an instant. It paid for itself in time and back pain savings in the first 48 hours of use.

I routinely perform on solo sax with backing tracks. Recently, I scaled up from a single powered loudspeaker for my backing tracks to a pair of QSC-K12's (which rock), and even some nice mics and a small mixing board for when I'm convening a jazz trio or quartet. I realized that I needed a cart instead of my collapsable dolly. I heard good things about rock-n-roller, so after doing some measuring, I went with this smallest and lightest model. It arrived (very promptly) with some minor quality control issues. First, on the large real wheel axles, there are to be a pair of holes drilled opposite each other thru which one inserts a pin then you splay out the tips with pliers so it stays in place, and keeps the wheel on the axle. One of the holes was not drilled opposite the other across the axle, so Malaysian wage-slave decided to drill a second hole adjacent to the first, creating a figure eight super-hole. Not a big deal, since I could splay out the pin tabs one to each hole. After applying light grease to the axles as suggested, I found that one wheel will spin freely on the axle, but the other one has some resistance and will only do a single 360. Again, annoying but a mere trivial drag on operation of the cart relative to the heft of the cart fully loaded and gravity. Finally, one of the thick metal 90-degree tabs on the frame, that forms the notch to keep the smaller U-shaped handle in place in the upright locked position, was formed too narrow for the shaft of the U-handle to snap and rest all the way inside it. So, I had to apply tape to the tab to protect the finish, and use a large wrench and brute strength to bend it out slightly. Now, the U-handle will slap all the way in place into the notch when upright. I could get it done, but girly-girl shopper might need to enlist a strong set of hands to do this. My first gig with this had me schlepping my stuff an unexpected half-block away at an outdoor mall gig, and the cart did the job fine. Now that its all good to go, I'm basically happy with it, and like others here, it strikes me as solidy-built, but hoping it will hold up over time- especially the wheels. If it doesn't, I'll revisit this review.

I purchased this to replace an older version called the R2 Micro that I purchased in February 2015. I was performing 24 plus gigs a month back then, and used it on over 1500 gigs to date. I could probably get another year out of it, but decided to retire it in favor of this one. The point I am conveying is these things are built to last. If you are a weekend warrior playing 100 or so gigs per year, you could probably expect fifteen or more years service from one. There are very minor differences between my R2 micro and this R2RT Micro (aside from the color.) The main construction looks nearly identical. The cable on this one looks a little thicker, but the wheels, channels and even the weld points look the same. Of course I did not examine or measure the differences in detail - I went by eyeball. One thing that stood out is this new one is stiffer and takes some effort to extend the handles. I recall having the same challenges with the original one, so I am chalking that up to a need to break it in. That beings me to another point still fresh in memory from six years ago - until it breaks in and extends smoothly you can get a nasty pinch on a finger, which happened to me on the first one that I owned. Give it a month of use (assuming that you will use it about eight times a month) and it will begin opening and extending smoothly. Especially the cable. Out of the box after the easy assembly you may have to jiggle the handles as you extend the cable to get them to open into the full position. Overall this is built like a tank. This is also my preferred size because I typically gig with just a bass drum, snare drum, hi-hats and ride cymbal. I also own an R8RT that has seem virtually no use because it's overkill for my purposes. As for the old R2 Micro that I replaced I am gifting that to a fellow musician who will probably appreciate it as much as I did when I first purchased it.

I've been seeking something like this for a long, long time. I gig as a single artist (most times) and have been looking for something that will carry all that I need from the parking lot to the venue in one trip. This is it! It's light, smooth rolling, easy to manipulate, has a very useful variable size feature. Once the Jeep is loaded with my gear the folded R2 fits neatly on top of it all. My first adventure with the R2 was one where I needed to carry a small acoustic amp, pedalboard/gear bag, banjo, two acoustic guitars and a ukulele. Also threw on a mic stand, two guitar stands and a tablet stand/holder. Some suitably sized bungee cords held it all in place and with a few more of those I could have stacked even more stuff on it. I was really surprised with the smoothness of the roll. Where I live in Japan, the streets I need to use are cobbled and the sidewalks are tiled with "paths for the blind". On other carts I've used in this situation would just shake the crap out of the cart and gear. Not so with the R2. It's absolutely amazing! If you're of average height like me you'll have to bend over quite a bit to "drive" this thing. The tallest handle height is restricted by the collapsed size. This is not a criticism but an observation. You cannot go wrong with this cart. The quality and usefulness of the R2 cannot be beat at this or any other price.

This cart is compact, yet able to handle a lot of gear. I teach CPR classes and sometimes have to move a lot of gear to and from classes. This has proven to be better than a lot of the other carts I have used in the past and it folds up smaller than them all. Very durable and well built. It moves very easily even when loaded up. I have been very happy with this purchase.

Great little cart! Had to transport keyboards and PA to a gig a few blocks away - easy to maneuver and was very stable!

車輪組み付け時に薄くグリスを塗るとよいかも 載せるモノに合わせてサイズ調節が出来るのも便利

Amazing little trolly! Speeds my load in and load outs for my mobile DJ gig significantly! The folding so small is great for storage at home or in a truck or vehicle! Can’t go wrong with this product!

Chariot trop cher pour ce que c'est, le pliage / dépliage est beaucoup trop compliqué. La qualité est plutôt moyenne, la largeur trop juste pour déplacer des meubles. Une simple planche à roulette à moins de 50€ est bien plus pratique.

Muy bueno, es el segundo que compro (también tengo un R6) y son lo mejor para acarrear equipo musical (bocinas, subwoofers, backline etc. Muy buen producto!

This may not be the best photo I have but it does exceed my expectations! It does the job for its size and can take punishments from stones and uneven pavements. Smooth and so light that it fots my hatch back car. Worth the price!
