Hey y'all,
I was hoping for some info about the Pro Panels Haul It All Cart. If you have (or had) one, would you recommend it? I have full size panels, and they are not the most fun to load in and out with my just carrying them. That said, the cart is almost $500 which feels a little crazy. I would love to hear about your experience. Thanks!

I have the cart and I regret it.
It's nice to have someplace to stack the propanels as I'm breaking down, especially when it's wet, but because of the way the handles of the cart snap together they rattle crazy loud. If you're carting out on rough asphalt it sounds like someone's jackhammering a skillet full of old car keys.
The strap you get with it doesn't get very tight but I have used the strap a few times in UHauls that have the slot style load bars because it fits that. So that's a small plus I guess?
I tried putting some big heat shrink tubing on the handles so they'd stop rattling so bad but it didn't work.
Long story short I wish I'd spent that money on an aluminum extendable hand truck. The cart is heavy as hell, loud, expensive, and not that fun to use. The wheel brakes work okay but are annoying to find in tight spaces.
It's a little crazy overall but at $500 as you said it's a lot crazy.
No experience with this, but Harbor freight has some 30 x 18 dollies for $17 and with a bit of DIY using some PVC and 90 degree angle corners or electrical conduit and 90 degree angled corners and a couple of connectors, you'd have the exact same thing for almost nothing in comparison. A quick trip to a hardware store would set this up really nice in no time.
Personally, I have a really hard time paying the prices they want - but, I don't mind working on things.
Thanks! I totally agree, I'd generally rather build something myself, but with shows coming up I was already feeling the pain of lugging the panels. 😂 Thankfully that passed and I didn't spend the $$$.
