RockNRoller R18RT Description
The RockNRoller R18RT Ground Glider Mega Plus is designed for professionals who regularly transport heavy or bulky equipment between vehicles, venues, and job sites. With a maximum load capacity of 700 pounds (317.5 kg), it provides the strength needed to move speakers, amplifiers, lighting equipment, road cases, instruments, and production accessories. Its patented 8-in-1 convertible design allows the cart to transform between different transportation configurations, including hand truck and platform cart arrangements. The telescoping frame adjusts from 42 to 60 inches in length, providing additional loading space when needed while remaining compact enough for storage between jobs.
One of the R18RT's key advantages is its oversized R-Trac Ground Glider wheel system, developed for moving heavy loads across surfaces that can be challenging for conventional equipment carts. The front features two 8 x 3-inch swivel casters with integrated brakes, while the rear uses two 10 x 3-inch wheels. These wide, foam-filled, no-flat wheels provide low rolling resistance and improved load distribution over grass, dirt, gravel, soft carpet, and other uneven surfaces. Lightweight polymer hubs and polyurethane foam tires combine durability with pneumatic-like cushioning, helping users transport heavy equipment without worrying about flat tires or maintaining air pressure.
The cart features a reinforced steel tube frame with foldable handles and a durable textured powder-coated finish designed for regular professional use. Enlarged tubing throughout the frame bed and folding handle assemblies provides additional strength for heavy equipment loads. The non-skid loading surface helps prevent road cases, speakers, and other equipment from sliding during movement. Its wide wheel arrangement and low-profile design also help make loading and unloading more manageable, particularly when transporting large or awkwardly shaped equipment.
Designed for portability and flexible storage, the R18RT folds down to approximately 42 x 15 x 11.5 inches and extends to 60 x 15 x 38.75 inches when fully configured. The folding side handles and adjustable frame make it easier to transport in equipment vehicles, store backstage, or keep in warehouses and production facilities. Suitable for DJ and live sound applications, film and television production, mobile entertainment, wedding photography, marching bands, trade shows, delivery services, and general maintenance, the R18RT provides a practical heavy-duty equipment transportation solution for both indoor and outdoor environments.
