Topic Dog Boards / Showing / DOG CAGE TROLLEY RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE
- By Chef55 Date 25.03.14 13:36 UTC
As age is creeping on I need a trolley to get my crates into shows, more Champ shows than Open. I've used a sack truck type but it's now getting too heavy, I want something I can pull along. I need to lay 2/3 crates 36" x 23" on it plus bags etc.
Not too heavy and would need to be able to put under benches. Any suggestions welcome.

I bought this one from Doghealth: http://www.doghealth.co.uk/products/dog-show-silver-cage-trolley

I figured it was cheap enough so that if it turned out to be a total failure it wouldn't be too desperate. It's not a bad trolley, as it turns out. It's easy to assemble if you need to take it apart to fit in the car, and it's half the weight of some of its competitors, which was a major onsideration for me.You could spend more than double the price and get something that isn't significantly better.

I have 2 medium sized gundogs and with them in a crate plus paraphernalia it was pretty heavy and slow to pull along. I can't be sure whether it was the standing all day at Crufts, or the pulling the trolley, but my back was in a bad way by the time I got home. The trouble with pulling something behind you is that you are half twisting your spine, and if you are lugging 85kg+ behind you your back will complain!

My initial thought was this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140782824240?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1926wt_726
I use something similar & found it extreamly useful, with the right bungees. My cages are 30x22 & fit well, I have put 2 on without any problem. They collapse really well & take up very little room.

Thank you Jay15 this looks ideal.

I've been advised to buy one of those little air pumps you can operate from your car's cigarette lighter just in case the tires go flat, but so far mine seems fine.
