A Lightweight Cart That's Strong Where It Counts!

Got drums, keyboards, PA, or DJ racks to move? Do your fellow band members vanish into the night at load-out time? Here's help on wheels! The compact Rock N Roller R8RT is tough enough to handle 500 lbs. of gear yet it only weighs 27.7 lbs. to make it easy to manage!

The Rock N Roller R8RT changes shape to meet your gear-hauling needs! Its 8-in-1 flexibility allows you to use the cart as a conventional 2-wheel hand truck or a 4-wheel carriage, all with a few quick adjustments. And here's the best part: the R8RT changes from 2-wheel to 4-wheel mode in about two seconds! This cart will quickly become as cherished as your favorite roadie.

The R8RT's frame telescopes easily from 34" to 52" in length. The cart's non-skid frame bed surface resists load slippage. In addition, the folding sides rotate and lock into position by simply pressing release cables. In 2-wheel mode the R8RT's long nose ergonomically pulls bulky loads toward you to make lifting easier. It also features specially designed 8" x 2" R-Trac rear wheels that are extremely strong, lighter than traditional pneumatic wheels, and will never go flat. Polyurethane tread bonded to a polymer hub rolls smooth and quiet.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Reviews

Perfect for busking
I use it mainly for transporting my Nord keyboard, Pa speaker, and portable power station for busking. It is able to hold all of my things efficiently. I can easily fold it up and fit it in my tiny car, and it's sturdy enough to pull down rough, gravel parking lots and sidewalks.
Wonderful cart that saves me a lot of time as a drummer
As a drummer, I've got a lot of gear to haul for each show. And this has cut down my trips from my vehicle from several to just two. It also collapses and fits in my small Nissan trunk, along with all my gear. Has been an incredible addition to my equipment and now I wonder how I got along without it. Definitely worth the money if you can afford it. You won't regret how much energy/time/effort you'll save.
Solid cart
I've been a gigging drummer for years, but only recently bought a cart. This is solid, well-built, and easy to use. I like the telescoping feature most. One downside is, the release cables are a bit finicky, but do work well overall. I would also recommend buying the straps; that'll secure stacked items on bumpy or uneven surfaces
Music background: Gigging bassist/drummer
Just What I Needed
As an aging rocker, my back was not happy moving keyboards, bass, amps, etc. I have found this cart to be a great solution. I use my piano bench as a base, can lay a keyboard flat, held in place by the side handles. Other equipment fits securely on top. It maneuvers well, and goes up or,down the occasional stair with ease. Simple to fold down for storage.
Music background: 50 years playing rock, folk, country
Pull cart
Best pull cart for the price.
