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

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

Penrose Barrows there you go Simps.
You can get cheaper copies, but the welds will break and bits will fall off.

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.

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.
