Well this past few month has really took its toll on my back so along with my Motorcycle scissor lift for indoors I’ve invested on one of these from Costco this week and put simply WOW! Seriously how have I ever managed without it I’ll never know.
A great test was Martin arriving today to pick up/drop off a couple of pins and this was a godsend.
It was £82 from Costco and comes highly recommended by me.

TBH that’s how I got mine. I took the wife and just lugged it behind her to the till and said “we need this”
She shook her head as if to say I’m gonna lose this argument and just bought it lol

Nice truck, being from Costco is that £82+vat? If so the same Cosco truck is similar price at B&Q maybe easier available to people.

I got a bit confused the shop is Costco, this truck brand is Cosco :rolleyes:
 
Got mine from B&Q, great bit of kit! Was bought after one of my Outrun cabs sheared the wheels off my old sack truck in falling snow moving out of my old house!

What are the tyres like on the truck please? Do they have a bit of give, or are they a hard/ solid rubber

How wide is the metal toe plate that the games sit on ?

Thanks
 
The tires are solid and the toe plate as far as I can remember is probably about 100mm shorter than the width of a standard pin.

Its great for moving the pins around. as you can set it angled as shown in the third picture.
I have a fairly narrow hallway and it helps shifting the pin into the doorway.

As vimto said is a perfect description however a couple of things to bear in mine IMO this is much nicer that the B&Q one I looked at which was slightly more expensive and didn’t have the same style handle which is very accommodating when moving about and lifting ect
I take my pins through the back garden on very uneven flagstones (see pic) and the tyres although hard have nice give when using with heavy load ie a pin
The runners on a pin sit comfortably on the plate with room either side so no slipping off. I did consider putting a oblong piece of wood in the middle of the barrow lift plate to marry up with the skids of a pin but TBH I’ve moved 6 pins now easily and it would be a bit over kill and not really needed.
Today I delivered and picked up a pin and had to trundle it’s around a very large detached property through the front door and several room to reach a man cave it was a doddle with this
Again highly recommend :thumbs:

@Colywobbles version does have a different handle but the rest looks the same.
Theres £5 off £50 plus orders at B&Q using
BANDQ5

Whenever I see promotional codes like this I ALWAYS try BANDQ10, or BANDQ20, it's even worked a couple of times. :)
 
@Colywobbles many thanks for the heads up on the Cosco sack barrows from Costco, I picked one up today £67.99 +VAT (£81.56), great bit of kit for really not a lot of money. Used it to move Roadshow, made an easy job of it for one person.


Big thank you :thumbs:

Chris.
 
Thanks to @Colywobbles , @Vimtoman , @ronsplooter , @astyy , @Paul and the others for the great advice

I have been after a new sack Barrow for years, since Vector fell off my green one and onto the side of my campervan

I got the Costco one as I prefer the handle design

This thing will make moving games much safer for my back, forearms, games, vehicles ....

I hadn't seen anything that was just right, until now ...

It also rolls under, and will store away, under a regular wpc game!!!15542038133286903732204204415694.jpg15542038331847317677910720176302.jpg

Well I've joined the Costco/Cosco sack truck love-in :). Picked it up earlier after going with my Dad who is a Costco member. First time I've ever been to Costco, pretty impressive but doubt I'd recoup my membership money for the amount of stuff I buy.

When a few playfield plastics cost the same as this truck, it should prove to be good value.

Cheers Colywobbles :thumbs:

I’ll second that, great for fresh meat, not the cheapest, but great quality, come BBQ season I’ll be stocking up, not really a burger person but their burgers are special.
