Best transport options for carrying cc trolleys

Posted by James Ives on January 19, 2012 at 10:07pm

I need a vehicle to take trolleys of plants out to markets. A danish trolley trailer is one option but is quite limiting i.e. I can't tow too much weight and small trailers don't provide much space. A Luton van with a tail-lift offers more space, but I would need to cut the trolleys down slightly to get them in. A high roof transit would still require cut down trolleys and a ramp (could I pull loaded trolleys up a ramp on my own?). What vehicles do you recommend?

    Cut them down and use a Luton, you need brakes or you will have problems with the tail lift if you are on your own.

    how many trolleys do you need to move in one hit?

    Probably three or four, but will have market canopy, some larger specimen plants and other stuff to carry.
