I think I found my next LF hauler!

This is my rig for hauling the Ansco Studio No. 5 into the field. It's served me well for years.

Excellent! Similar to what I was thinking -- wood box to hold the 11x14 holders, either flat or on their sides, along with a couple lenses. Another box for the 11x14. The camera is in an old military suitcase right now (outside dimensions 20x25x9).

That's AWESOME!!! I like the tripod mount. They had one of these on display when I got my garden one. It's quite large for my needs and probably about half the size of my patio!

For me the metal version would work better. Could be modified to carry my 11x14, holders and a couple lenses. Take off the metal sides and build my own boxes on it.

I can see, in the near future, people can put battery packs on these like they do with bikes with batteries. There's a place near me that rents battery bikes and go around park. Looks fun. And I've seen guys on skateboards with battery power engines on it. If someone can stick and battery under this and a motor to power the rear wheel, then you really got something....

The wheel base is rather short. In time I will post my Alice backpack frame with two 12" pneumatic tires which means you can carry the backpack and when the going gets tough you can pull it behind. Nudge me to make it so. (I am still looking for larger diameter pneumatic wheels that fit a 1/2" axle.)

Jac....Amazon has a "16 inch air tire" with a 1/2 axle listed

Thanks! Ordered!

And now you know why my dad's nickname for me was "The Finder" !

I had something like that when I was four years old, then wrecked it going downhill. But it was an authentic WWII Radio Flyer red wagon. Otherwise, the neo versions seem like something made for hauling steer manure in backyards in the burbs; so avoid anything "pre-owned".

[Drew Wiley]

Sorry, but couldn't avoid a wisecrack. Why do you need to tote so much stuff at once??? If I needed to transport weight on wheels, I'd do it vertically with a modified handtruck. In fact, I've done it with construction and layout gear, even with an integral laser mount instead of a separate tripod. You can even buy containerized handtrucks from Tanos though they're pricey. But something like that might provide a clue. Could be improved with oversize wheels and a steel rather than alum. frame.

With 11x14, it is the bulk, rather than weight that makes one of the carts attractive to me.

However, one of these would be even better: http://surlybikes.com/bikes/big_dummy

Perhaps with an electrical assist? If the range was 120 miles, that would get me up to, into, and back home from my favorite redwoods with the 11x14 and camping gear. Otherwise I might have to plug into the ranger station.
