Looking for a good quality cart, on wheels, or something like that I can use to haul around my gear from say the truck to the location. I couldn't find what I wanted on B&H so maybe you guys have some better input...think like..2-3 pelican cases, light modifier cases..etc...

thx

I occasionally work with a guy who uses a rolling Stanley tool chest like the one seen here (external link).

It works out so well that I went out and bought my own this weekend. I can load all my lights/modifiers inside the cart and bungee strap all the light stands to the top of the cart.

Just yesterday I had to trek from the parking garage of the Raleigh Convention Center up to the 2nd floor, across the main lobby, up another elevator to the 3rd floor ballrooms. I don't know how I would have done it without this cart.

Home Depot sells a larger version (50 gal), but that was too big for what I needed. I found the 24 gallon version at Lowes for $49.

You want a large cart or case to take around? I find a little wheel cart with the bags I have work well. It's a collapsible one since I have stands and stuff in carrying bags. How much stuff are you talking?

That's great, but I think the OP is looking for a cart ;)

Agree. I think that cart, while it looks good, probably is the highest maintenance of all. Not something you could just put in the closet and forget about.

She doesn't look high maintenance at all and I would NEVER want to put her in the closet and forget about her.

Go on amazon and search multicart. I have the R2 and it works for my set up (school portraits).
