Prestons Space Shuttle

[porky]

Could i have youre views on this product please as i could do with a new barrow.
These have two wheels and a bag which seems to appeal to me.
I was wondering what they are actually like to use when full ect as i like most anglers carry a bit too much tackle to bank.

I have one and they are great for commercials where the ground is fairly flat but if where your walking is on a slope they are not so great as the two wheels makes it hard to balance,if all u do is fish commies then I would get 1 but if you use it on rivers and places where the ground is not very flat then get a barrow with 1 wheel

One of the best things i’ve ever bought – twice. I had one then sold it when i got my new Milo box and barrow kit, but the barrow was c**p so i sold that and bought another Space shuttle. They are very easy to push with the wheels being set back under the box which makes it balance very well and feel nice and light.

I’ve had one for 4 months now and it’s been great. just a couple of things to watch out for;
1) regularly tighten ya nuts (oh – er) as they can tend to work loose
2) watch the wheels if you need to ‘drop’ the shuttle down any step – i managed to bust two wheels when i first had it. (Preston replaced without any fuss at all with just a phone call)

Lovely to get to ya peg without holdalls and stink bags hanging around ya neck.

Go buy one.

Best thing I ever bought, you can balance it with two fingers when fully laiden.

Had one for 6 months and its brilliant. Get your kit balanced right with the weight over the wheels and away you go.

top notch mate i have a space station to go with it (tell you what sod dragging that thing around on my arm)
best bit of kit i brought 2009 the weight is balanced even when you but your holdala on the foot plate and rest your rod bag over the top

one thing i would invest in is a couple on bugees to to hold your rod bag down but i bet you all ready do that
hope thats helps you mate

Excellent trolly. Can’t fault it. If you can, convert it to 4 wheels. This makes it even better.

Thank you for all youre replys.
I was thinking about getting one but after reading these comments i will be getting myself one.

As pointed out above Preston have sorted the wheel problem out. The newer wheel is blacker in colour than the original greyish colour one. When buying try and find a stockist that has just had them in, then you should get the newer wheels. I think the plastic is a different type?
I rang them (Preston) and they sent a new one out to my local tackle shop, great service when needed.

It was the best buy of 2009 for me, see not all Prestons gear crap !

Bought one last year there not bad but i had to glue the plastic hand grips on as they kept coming off the arms of the trolley when going downhill and it was a pain keep having to re tighten every trip or two .Also when loaded up it was very easy to topple over when going over uneven ground.~think ~think ~think ~think ~think
