  what box do you have?
  
  There’s a few options, the fox platform barrows are good but take up room, similarly the daiwa.
  
  No idea on ultimate angling products but they do look good.
  
  If you have a rive, there’s the rive conversion kits. Or, look up GT angling products. They make a proper barrow conversion for rive boxes which look very good. Tad expensive at 140, but as it’s kist a wheel and two arms will take up considerably less room.

  Probably best with a preston or ultimate then I would thing, others might know better mind you. Personally, I’d go for one of the prestons as they are a known quantity in terms of quality and customer service. That’s not to say the ultimate one is rubbish, but unless you can find people who’ve used them or their stuff and can vouch it stands up to it, then I wouldn’t risk it.

  I use the Preston Shuttle for my Tournament box but it takes up a bit of space unless you fully dismantle it. I don’t know about the Ultimate version.
  But if space is an issue there’s always the Daiwa wheelkit.

  You wont go wrong with a Preston Space Shuttle breaks down to nothing & great value. Drive a TT & get my Rive admittedly only a C30 stool with foot plate, holdall, caryall etc no problem.

  Penrose were good, I have had mine since 1996 and it is still fine. I use it at least once a week on the R Yare during the summer and some of that is really hard going. Other times of the year it used around the pits and rivers of East Anglia and used to use it on the R. Cam when we regularly match fished it.
  
  Unfortunately they are no longer trading – maybe there is something to be said for built in redundancy in products.

  I’ve had the ultimate barrow for over a year now still going strong – I have the daiwa 100 box -similar to tournament-fits nice and snug on front once set up, i put carryall, net bag, box, bait bag and then holdall on top under bungee across front bit and don’t need any more bungees.
  You will need to dismantle barrow for car I breakdown to wheels handle and body.

  I shall go and have a look instantly. I don’t need to change mine, solid as a rock but just to see if they are the saME ONES.

  Yes, genuine article!!
  
  Looks as though someone is selling off the stock left over from the business.
  
  So if you want a trolleY that will last for years – PENROSE!
  
  Their PUPPS arm was great as well and I see the same seller has one of those and other bits and bobs.
