I have been using a folding wagon to haul my gear when I do outdoor shoots in local parks, but it only folds front to back and it isn't very friendly when hauling light stands and other long items. When folded, it won't stand on it's own either, and the collapsing handle falls to horizontal when not being used, frequently creating a trip hazard. So I've been searching for a better way, and I think I have found it. A folding wagon from VEVOR. They have an online catalog www.vevor.com and my wagon came from New Jersey to my home in South Central North Carolina in less than 2 days. I have no connection with them, other than being very satisfied with their delivery speed and pricing for the few things that I have purchased from them. I have no idea at all what it would require to have something shipped to you if you order something from them, so you will need to contact them if you want to order something. They are a kind-of hardware company, but at great prices, especially when they have a sale on something. First timers get a significant discount on their first orders. It was on sale this week, so I paid about $89 US for it, delivered. As a new VEVOR customer you should save even more, but I don't have any idea what the delivery charge will be.
So I bought one of these wagons and it came two days ago. It folds front to back as well as side to side. It has two levels. The top level is about the size of my old wagon, and the lower level has a tailgate that hinges down to hold longer things, like for instance folding chairs and light stands. When folded and the dust cover is on it, it is only about one foot square, but the handle is accessible, and the wheels, though close together, allow it to be pulled along while folded on relatively level ground. It's supposed to be rated for 350-450 lbs and seems to be built sturdy enough to handle this easily, except the wheels are PVC. Nice and wide for travel over soft ground, but I wouldn't leave the load in the wagon for any long periods as I believe the weight will cause flats on the wheels. It's all steel tubing construction, so it's not only tough, but heavy when compared to the aluminum and plastic wagons. I'm guessing that it's about 36 pounds when empty and folded.
Here are a few photos of it that I took yesterday. I'll only post a few of about 18 total. If there is interest I can add a few more. File size limit is giving me grief, and I used a 23 year old little digital camera for this. So two levels, but I can only show the top level. Well, a side view showing the lower level too. The bottom back end has a fold down tailgate for longer items to hang out. Folded, it fits easily in the back of my Jeep Grand Cherokee, and one fabric handle in the bottom center of the top compartment opens and folds the wagon. Sorry, the rest won't post.
For dimensions -
Cart height 34"
Top compartment 13 1/2" inside height, 35" inside length, 17 1/2" inside width
20 3/4" outside Width, 36 1/2" Outside Length
Tailgate opening 13" Height, 17" Width, Spring clips latch the tailgate up, it hinges to horizontal and stops about level
The cart frame is 100% steel tubing.
Wheel brakes on both front castor wheels which also swivel. The rear wheels have no brakes and do not swivel.
Cart weight - I haven't managed to weigh it yet, but guessing that it is 35 lbs or so empty. It's rated at 350 lbs capacity, but I think it can handle more.
