I bought a couple of those folding carts at Lowes/Home Depot each time. A design flaw I've had with both are related to plastic parts used.
There are hard plastic tabs that fix into the lower cart area when one unfolds the cart to use. The tab keeps the wheels locked in place. I was rolling my NeoX 212T cab, not really a heavy cab, on a slanted sidewalk surface. As I turned to access the street curb I'm guessing the weight shifted and afterwards the wheels started wobbling on me. When I tried to fold the cart up after that use the platform would not fold completely flat again.
Each was aprox $26-$30 and rated at 200lbs. In both of those folding carts the plastic tab that slips into a metal area cracked or broke off completely. So now the wheels wobble when carts unfolded. And if I try to carry a cabinet, the wheels now try to fold up as if closing. Made for a very difficult even short trip into/out of clubs. So they both sit in my garage now unused. They seem to want to work at times but I don't trust them to stay sturdy during use.
I've seen similar ones' advertised online that are rated to carry 200-300lbs or so. They are quite abit more costly than these $30-ish models so maybe they would last longer. That's if they've designed them with metal tabs instead of those same plastic tabs on mine.
But each cart did last me from a few months to over a year and they worked great during that time. Maybe I got sloppy and shouldn't have let the weight shift at late nite load out. They might have lasted longer. My band mates saw mine, liked em and some still use theirs. So they do work. I do like that Mesa brand one for my BG250. When I opened that Mesa link posted above doesn't show a price or dealers available??
