Off the beaten path perhaps but a couple of months back I bought a little folding wagon at Walmart. I'm currently using a single EV Evolve 50m speaker, which fits perfectly into this wagon. I then have all cords and a single multi-laser light in a small rolling suitcase, which also fits perfectly into this wagon (along with the 50m). I then stack the case that holds the column on top and my laptops are in a backpack. The entire load in/out is done in a single, quick trip. Setup/teardown takes about 10 minutes and the sound has been more than enough for any venue I've played in the last 6 months. I use the built-in mixer and the ios mixer app. For wireless, I have a dual-channel, Phenyx Pro, which is velcroed directly onto the 50m and stores in the front pocket of the suitcase. My entire rig fits easily into the back of my Hyundai Sante Fe. In fact, it pretty much lives there since I'm doing 2 regular nights per week. Just thought I'd share. It sure has made life easier on this old boy.

I saw 2 different size carts and very reasonable. I'm thinking about getting one for another reason.

Nice. I have 2 RNR carts, r12 and r10.
The R12 has 4 big tires that can cross just about anything.

More than once , Thought of buying the second r12. Too many four wheel carts and two wheelers in inventory. Used the R & R r12 for years. Have use the extended Shelves top and bottom but does become very heavy. Level sidewalk works great for the big heavy loads. Works great for my out of door Ceremony"s . The same cart with the shelf Goes thru Grass nicely. I have set up in the back of the ceremony For over twenty five years & have never had a complaint. 90 percent of my Reception"s include Ceremony reinforcement.
One trip setup / One 10" EON with Bigger JBL horn drivers.
One solar battery pack ( Know 120 volt cords to trip over) 6 channel mixer / Two wireless Lavaliers / Laptop / Numark DJ2GO - ProX XB-DJ2GO2 case / appropriate XLR cable . May have missed something ?
I do one car show once year for a 5 Star Shooting facility & use the same cart with the shelf but yes, EKX's which do get out there with some great through.
ZLX's for side fill.

I like RNR carts but I don't like not having sideboards. This little cheap cart fills that bill, plus it folds up to a teeny-tiny footprint in the back of my SUV. Oh yea, and it's $50. The wheels on this one are plenty big and I've not had any problems. An EV 50m and small suitcase fit snugly and makes for a quick in/out. I do feel like a little kid, pulling his little red wagon however. ;)

We have a wagon just like that. It came as a whole package that came with 2 black beach chairs, and an umbrella! My wife got it for free through her old job using points that she accumulated in sales. It was like a perk they offered for a few years through the manufacturer. Anyway, she got it back in like 2018 and it still works great. The beach chairs have two little blue tooth speakers in them so you can listen to music. The sound quality is tinny with like no bass, but it works for some music on the beach when sitting in the chairs. I assume this package was probably like $150 back in 2018 to purchase outright.

I still use the same Milwaukee convertible cart/hand truck I've had for 3 decades.
Bought it at Home Depot for $59.99.
I did swap out the awful plastic wheels for larger polyurethane ones.

I had an R N R and one of the plastic wheels broke. I love rubber tires that you inflate.

Wheels are easy to replace. I replaced the wheels on one several years ago

I'll stick with my hand truck that has inflatable wheels and I paid $20. It cost me more for gas than to pick up the hand truck where I had to go to get it.
