Sandbag Trolley

Sandbag Cart – Heavy-Duty Transport for Film & TV Production

Introducing our heavy duty Sandbag Cart, a purpose built film and TV production trolley engineered for the realities of professional sets. Designed specifically for transporting 18” x 12” sandbags, this lightweight yet incredibly strong cart makes moving weight around set safer, faster, and far less physically demanding.

Built with a laser welded aluminium frame and a 220kg load capacity, this professional lighting and grip cart solution is tough enough for daily studio use and rugged enough for location work. A welded front vertical retaining bar keeps sandbags securely in place during transport, preventing shifting or sliding when navigating busy studio floors or uneven location terrain. At just 20kg in product weight, it offers serious strength without unnecessary bulk making it easy to manoeuvre between stages, trucks, and shooting areas.

How It Helps on a Real Set

Sandbags are essential across every department — but moving them shouldn’t slow production down.

• Grip Department – Transport large quantities of sandbags efficiently for rigging, flag stability, and stand support.
• Lighting Department – Quickly reposition weight for stands, frames, and lighting setups without multiple trips.
• Camera Department – Secure tripods, sliders, and support rigs with easy access to ballast.
• Art Department – Move stabilising weight for set builds and practical installations.
• Studio & Location Work – Reduce manual handling strain and improve safety when shifting heavy loads.

The welded vertical catch bar keeps sandbags secure during movement, while puncture-proof tyres and 260mm diameter wheels ensure smooth travel across studio floors, car parks, and uneven outdoor terrain.

This is a simple, reliable, UK built production trolley designed to do one job exceptionally well, move weight safely and efficiently.
