DTF's answer is .... Get someone else to carry it for me

Barrow mate, you can lend mine for a few weeks if you want to try one out

or use a shopping trolley

I was thinking that when I posted it lol

The only thing I dont like about the Space Shuttle is the solid tyres

i found the wings and tail got in the way a bit, and a few venue owners got a bit worried when i started the engines and big flames came out of the back, but what really got me was when i opened the doors and it was full of astronauts or i think they were astronauts and not asylum seekers

I carry it by hand or somebody kindly offers to carry it for me

Get a Penrose Barrow Simon.
British and built to last.

Si you clown

Gem, I wonder who that could be....

Mugger, cheers. I was looking at the New fox barrow/platform.
Will have a look at the penrose

I have a trolley and a barrow.
Prefer not to use either.
Most people reckon I am off my trolley anyway.

Penrose is the one dad uses and abuses- and its lasted like 5+yrs with only one tyre misshap which i think if i remember rightly Frank (rigacre) kindly sorted.

Couldnt think of the name of the one dad uses whilst in the shop today but after Pete saying it its popped into my mind!

Thankyou Si your a good un

Get a free trolley from another MD and then get someone else to pull it for you.

Yeah but the thing you got to remember Gem is you dad weighs all of 4 lb when ringing wet whilst Si weighs ** stones

Penrose Barrows there you go Simps.

You can get cheaper copies, but the welds will break and bits will fall off.

#17

I have one of the original penrose barrows and it really has been used and abused over the years. Even used it as a low scaffold to paint the ceilings. The welds are going a bit now but after ten years its paid for itself many times over. One tip i will say is to stick extra weld on the section the wheel goes into.

Yes Gem came off a mini motor bike cracking wheel and tyre

#19

Cheers for that everyone. Will look into the penrose. I would like to use it as a platform also.

Make sure you get the super duper extra BIG one then. Just so you can get mine and Gems gear on it as well as your own.
