I'm looking to add this to an Epifani UL-115 cab? Ideally I would like it to hold an additional UL-115 also.

Does anyone make a telescoping handle with casters for speaker cabinets?

the Mesa Boogie tone luggage thing can be attached to anything that you can drill a screw into for the receiver portion of the unit.
I have one on my Walkabout 12, and have used it for years to haul the WA, and on occasion, an additional Mesa 1x12.
IMO/IME, it works fine. My only complaint is that its smallish wheels don't handle gravel too well, but I don't have to face that too often.
good luck

You can also grab a Magnacart. It's a small folding hand truck. I use one all the time for lugging my cabs out to my car.
I bought one of these to transport my 98 lb Eden D410XLT4 for years. Now it transports my Mesa Scout with an Extension cab all at once. You can find similar ones in the states as well. Just google "collapsible dolly"

I've been looking at these, but wasn't sure it could handle both cabs. They only weight about 70 pounds total.
My cabs weigh roughly 100lbs total, and I usually throw something else on it too. It's been going strong for over a year, with biweekly use.
IIRC, they say it'll handle 150lbs.
This one works for me...

Only like 36 bucks
Telescopes to like 38 / 40 inches. Works on my stack, but the stack is only about 56/57 lbs.

It's cheap too. I have some straps that a run around my cabs, otherwise they would fall off. But I have to drag my cabs pretty far to get to my car...

Does it come with those straps, or did you get your own? If so what did you use?
You can get those folding carts at one of the discount stores like Costco for around $30 (maybe a little less).
No, it doesn't come with them. I was using bungee cords, which attach very quickly. But they are springy too, which isn't good for me. Now I'm using tow straps. I hook the ends together and pull em' tight. One for each cab.
IMHO Whatever you get, make sure that the telescoping handle extends high enough with items tilted in the carry position. This is more problematic the taller you are of course. I have a folding cart that I need position the handle end closer to the ground for balancing the load. This means bending over a bit more. Had I to do it again, I would have sprung a little extra for a longer telescoping handle. Or, I might have just gotten a real hand truck.
Check this out. Looks good.
