Comparing the two brand hand carts. I love the newer design of the On-Stage compared to the Rock N Roller, which now seems outdated. the On-Stage cart had tighter tolerances and is heavier duty for all-terrain use.
Thanks for the conparison. Same as others in this thread, I finally decided to get a cart to streamline load-in/out, and like most, started looking at the RnR. I never liked the way the uprights flare and appeaeed losoe, so seeing this made my decision for me. It is being delivered tomorrow and I am excited to use it for my gig this weekend. I just investd in a 6U rack case for my UI16 amd built that out, everything else is either in casters or in flight cases, so this will handle the smaller ones. Thanks for taking the time!
Nice video! Currently looking at replacing my old Rock n Roller. Just awful design all around. And they offer these accessories that don't help much at all and are a pain to install and remove (like the extension). My main issue with both carts (and a lot of similar utility carts) is that the handles are much too low. I'm not crazy tall (6'2") and the angle i have to bend to pull the cart is so awkward. Wish theyd at least offer some means of extending it. But youre right about the Gator all-terrain. My bandmate has it and the forks over the wheels have bent twice now. And the roughest terrain we encounter is just dirt, maybe some gravel. These $100 to $300 carts are made for smooth terrain and have very little adaptability. That said, good video, I'll do a trial run of the onstage. Anything to rid myself of the stupid technology that is the pull-wire handle release.
Argh... I'm a record vendor & bought the pyle pke38 utility cart & have used it quite a bit. Unfortunately I'm just now learning about these on stage ones & they seem much nicer than the pyle brand ones. My unit only has a 200lb weight limit... bummer
That's great thanks a lot! Was looking for the rock n roller but seeing this I will definetely go with the On-Stage, the top shelf accessory looks like a great addition to it. The only thing I was looking for was the Rock n Roller Extension Rack, do you know if by any chance that fits on the On-Stage version? Thanks a lot
Glad I saw this video. Was looking into a cart, specifically all of the RnR models. Didn’t care for the fact that the handles looked loose and that there were no bolts on the wheels, but everyone was swearing by this cart. But looks like I’m going to get the OnStage now. How has it been since this video? Only a couple of weeks, but still strong and together?! Thanks!
this is a great review... I like the on stage a lot, except the tires - they seem more like cheap plastic and less grippy than the rock n rollers... The rock n rollers feel more like rubber. Have you had any issues with them?
not sure if you are still answering but I bought a Rock n Roller and it is stuck and won't extend. I was wondering if you have any advice for how I can and or should fix that? what kind of professional or tool should I look for to help me with this?
Sorry for the late reply. Check the locking bolts. Also, check for any bends in the center support, which prevents extending the unit. Good luck, hope you found a solution.
Still going strong. No tire issues. Maybe those complaints are from those overloading the cart. I would contact the manufacturer directly about the complaints you read and see what they say. As for me, no issues.
I have a RNR CART…. It’s a HEADACHE… plus Wheels Broke. Twice. And the Cable System to Bring the Handles Down…. SUCK!! Don’t get a RockNRoller Cart People. Thank You 🤙🏼. I have a RockVille Cart Now. It’s BETTER. OnSTAGE IS COOL TOO 👍🏼👍🏼
