Gator Frameworks - Chariot Tout Terrain

If you've got amps, speakers, a console or cases of instruments to move around a car park, a garden or the steps of a theatre, Gator has developed this all-terrain utility trolley for the job. With its welded steel chassis supporting 226 kg, this is no lightweight accessory. It's a robust tool designed for the real thing, the one that sees your heaviest and most valuable equipment go from truck to stage without a hitch.

The two large 260 mm diameter rear wheels swallow up imperfections, gravel and small kerbs. At the front, the two 203 mm swivel wheels ensure tight manoeuvrability in the narrow corridors of a concert venue. You lock these front wheels for straight travel when the load is very heavy. The platform itself has a textured non-slip surface to keep your boxes and racks in place.

A step is integrated at the rear. Rather than having to lift and force your way over a staircase step, you tip the trolley onto its large rear wheels and use the step as a leverage point. You negotiate the obstacle with total control, saving your back and protecting your equipment from impact. The multi-configuration folding design also lets you adapt its length between 76 and 132 cm, or store it flat in a vehicle.

Sometimes the best investment isn't in a new instrument, but in getting it to the stage in perfect condition.
