Brent Lestage Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks, Philip... Yes, I can lift both cases by myself (though they are heavy) and you are correct -- the top is all electronics; the bottom storage. Ironically, the bottom weighs a bit more than the top case (which is good). I break it down as opposed to leaving it all together... fitting it into a small SUV. I do use my laptop computer velcro'd to the top of the top case. It's a little awkward there, but I feel more confident with it there than on a a magic arm/plate.

Philip Perkins Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well, not having all your RX in the rig really simplifies and lightens things for sure. With the storage in the bottom box will you still need a follow cart? Philip Perkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Perkins Trying to avoid having to use a follow cart, but will still need a prep area for boom and still have a couple of small bags/cases to haul around -- so... I will probably continue to use my compact Rock-N-Roller cart. I have the one that has mounts for (2) carpeted shelves. Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDigitaL Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Nice job on the cart. I am thinking about making something close to that. I have a SKB 12 space shock mount case...(it's overkill but i got a great deal on it). I'm going to get a Rock-N-Roller cart to carry the case around. Is the cart wide enough for 2 12 space racks?

Thanks... A Rock-N-Roller cart is expandable lengthwise, so you should have no problem placing (2) 12U rack cases side by side. The only issues I see is that the cart base is very narrow side-to-side and might be a little too rickety (loose) for the larger, beefier shock mount cases.

Paul Graff Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Just checking in on this thread. Very nice job---clean and simple. The mods you did are just what the FT cart needs. The counter weight of the battery will help its maneuverability a lot. Thanks for sharing. Very inspiring. PG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemmerlinj Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I'm currently building my first cart and was planning on the Rack case route. I found a company that makes a magliner wanna-be for a about half the cost. Looks pretty good. It's from this company Wesco. I think it's the Spartan JR. I was originally thinking about the Rock n Roller, but they've been really hard to get for some reason. J. Hemmerlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
