At the end of 2019, I purchased a RocknRoller Multi-Cart R12STEALTH. It’s called Stealth because everything on the cart is black. The casters and the main wheels are larger than the Rock N Roller Multicart Model R8 and the cart sits a little taller. But these design improvements don’t take up a lot more space when the cart is folded.
We’ve all been there! Well, at least those of use who are obsessive gear hoarders. You need to get all of your toys from your trunk to your client’s office, home, wedding-whatever! You could hang 12 bags off of you until the straps cut off the circulation in you neck or you could make several trips, or put everything you own into a rolling case that weighs more than you and your partner combined, or you could just break down and buy a grip cart, which won’t offer much retail therapy for the dollar, but it will solve your problem.
Over five years ago, I finally gave up on using a Cosco hand truck, ironically from Costco, to move my gear from the car to my onsite locations. The cart I had was great insomuch as it could handle a lot of weight and it was very sturdy, but it didn’t fold up very small at all and it would take up an enormous amount of room in the back of my car. So much room that sometimes I would have to leave it at home in order to fit all the gear that I needed in my car.
About the same time that I upgraded from a sedan to an SUV, I came across the Rock N Roller Multicart Model R8. It was a great solution because it could expand to larger than my existing cart, yet it would only take up a fraction of the space. Over the years I was able to move tons of gear, but I promise it was less than the 500 pounds, the advertised maximum payload, each trip.
I even modified the cart so that I could hang power cables off of one end using a rafter hook; I added a Gripngaff stand bag, and I modified the top accessory shelf so that it could assemble in seconds, rather than balancing it on my knee and attaching four bolts and wing nuts for what seemed like an eternal struggle every time I got to my client’s parking lot. However, the top shelf is a great addition, because you can use it as a table while on location and it will let you stack your gear even higher.
The uprights are moved into place by pulling on a wire, compressing their lower width so that they can slip past two small metal tabs, which then hold them in place.
Over time, the upright handles were leaning way too much and eventually they started popping out of place. while I was pushing my loaded cart causing all of my gear to shift, and my heart to sink, worrying that something was going to fall off and break. I cannot tell you with 100% certainty that this was normal wear and tear, or if it was caused by hanging 70 pounds of light stands off of one end or if it was exacerbated by the shelf modification and a large amount of weight on the top of that shelf.
I can however tell you that after all these years this $200 cart has seen its day. So at the end of 2019, I purchased a RocknRoller Multi-Cart R12STEALTH. It’s called Stealth because everything on the cart is black. The casters and the main wheels are larger than the Rock N Roller Multicart Model R8 and the cart sits a little taller. But these design improvements don’t take up a lot more space when the cart is folded. However I can report that the upright handles sit very snuggly in the tabs and hopefully they will stay that way. Right now there is very little play in the upright handles whereas with the older cart I felt like I was always in danger of creating a parallelogram when pushing the cart into a collapse.
Going forward, I will use this new monochrome cart by pulling it as often as I can and by not using the GripnGaff stand bag without simultaneously using the top shelf, which will reduce the outward force placed on the upright. In addition I will only place the lightest items on top.
Alternatively you could buy a Magliner cart, which cost four times as much and will take up a proportionally larger amount of space.

@@JohnGress Many thanks 🙏💐
To install the top shelf, you lay the cart on its side
Phillip Martinez that makes sense but not something I would have ever thought of.
Thanks for sharing this solution, John! I was struggling on how to move massive list of photo equipment, and this solution is accessible... Additionally I found a video from the manufacturer on how to assembly the R12 one (if someone has to assemble it) ua-cam.com/video/JwYkazV4UqA/v-deo.html
Thank you! This cart is still one of my best purchases.
@@JohnGress I received the R12 Stealth and corresponding top shelf... I was surprised to see that the top shelf comes with the modifications that you describe on the "Top shelf modification" rocknrollercart.com/collections/shelves/products/rock-n-roller-quick-set-shelf ... only thing is that it is not longer carpeted, the top has been textured
