    The LadderKart combines the load bearing capability of a hand truck with the convenience and essence of a stepladder. It's a perfect piece of gear for the on-location crew or the one-man-band operation.

    In use, the Ladderkart will easily move a couple hundred pounds of gear, essentially all that's necessary for a photographer or videographer, from car to location. Then it unfolds in a snap to provide help in setting up lights, backdrops, jibs and more. For stowage, it folds into a small form and can be tucked away unobstrusively.

    I appreciate its light weight when preparing to schlep gear. Its construction and sturdiness is reassuring when I'm moving expensive gear. The wheels are small enough to stay out of the way but large enough to roll easily over all but the most challenging, rocky terrain. They are quiet as well. The steadiness the Ladderkart provides encourages me to shoot from its highest stop, 30-inches from the ground. While that doesn't sound high, it allows me to get far over a crowd and with a vantage point that shows in images and video.

    The soft, foam-covered handle allows a comfortable and secure grip even in the rain. However I caution those using the product on wet surfaces because the wheels can slip on steep lateral grades. Also, I wish the large diameter tube frame had accommodations or anchors for bungee cords which are needed to secure a load. Not a show stopper but every moment counts when getting gear to and from a location and a securely loaded kart is essential around other gear and client property.

    It's a good value for the money. There's really no close competition. I'd recommend to my fellow location photographers and video makers.

    Bigger than I thought

    This item is robust and well built. However it is much bigger than I imagined, and I will not be able to use it. It doesn't fit crossways in my car trunk.

    This item is robust and well built. However it is much bigger than I imagined, and I will not be able to use it. It doesn't fit crossways in my car trunk.
    It also weighs a significant amount.. 10kg or 17lbs. I thought I would use it to haul my photo gear around but it is too big. There are also no easily accessible points to attach bungee cords or straps. It's a bit awkard to put into a car as well. The ladder falls open when you lift it using the cart tray.

    Great idea, BUT...

      Comments about Travel Smart by Conair Travel Smart LadderKart Combination Stepladder & Hand Cart:

      Pro's:
      -TERRIFIC idea- I'm surprised noone else has come up w/ a similar product.
      -Lets me get unique vantage points in crowded events.
      -Facilitates transporting softboxes, scrims, reflectors, etc.

      Con's:
      -Not very stable- if you go around a turn too quickly, it will tip over.
      -Stairs.
      -Rack isn't really all that big- barely holds a Think Tank Airport Intl. V. 2 or Pelican 1510.
      -Hotel revolving doors.
      -Difficult to attach a bungee cord to secure loads.

      -The worst part:
      If the end cap screw thing comes off (see images) & you think it's broke, then the manufacturer will tell you to send it back at YOUR expense. No option to use towards credit to buying the "new & improved" version.

          Comments about Travel Smart by Conair Travel Smart LadderKart Combination Stepladder & Hand Cart:

          I purchased then returned after my first wedding (I'm a photographer). It's ok considering it is a both ladder and a cart but not great at either. I already owned a cart with flip-out back wheels that was able to easily carry hundreds of pounds. As a cart, it was heavy and a bit unstable; plus had no ties or straps to hold the load. As a ladder, it was ok but again heavy to move and a bit narrow - plus the wheels become a trip hazard. Conversely, I have a ultra-light 2 step ladder that easy to carry and use. Last, although not advertised for this purpose, I though it would serve as convenient seat but far too narrow except for a skinnest's butts!In summary, as a dual function ladder-step it's ok and wouldn't advise against buying it as long as you are willing to accept the compromises of each - I wasn't.

            I've always wanted to take a step ladder to a photo shoot so I could do some shots from up above the subject. But I didn't want to carry a ladder around with all the other stuff I carted around. I heard a famous photographer mention this product at B&H and I checked it out. I researched and then ordered it. It's very sturdy and I love that you can cart a couple of those plastic tubs filled with all kinds of props! Well worth the money.

              I bought this a little while ago. It works great for moving gear on location and also as a step ladder for setting up gear and for getting high angle shots. It is very sturdy and it seems to live up to its capacity ratings. I wouldn't load it up with hundred of pounds (as a cart) but it will definitely support you normal size loads. The wheels are good quality and move very well. Overall I'm very pleased.

                  I used this on a wedding job to haul my bag and at the same time get height for some group photos. It works well as a ladder but if you use the cart you will need to use a bungee cord or something for going more than a few feet or rough terrain since platform isn't as large as I thought. Not really a problem for me though. One of the main issues I found with the cart portion of this product is that it doesn't 'click' or remain rigid when you have the cart flap down- so if your load is small and heavy (like mine was - camera bag about 35#), it won't stand erect by itself. You either have to pop open the ladder or hold it, which isn't the best.

                    There are a few things that would make this better. A means to lock the base so the cart would stand up on its own, would be nice. Also, a few hooks for bungee cords would be welcome. Nevertheless, given the price, it is hard to criticize them. Great ladder and kart combo.

                      Sturdy, comfortable ergonomics, and the construction quality seems good. Great for one-man-band load-ins, especially when the nearest parking spot is a few blocks from location. Does double-duty by getting you up to focus lights and grab high-angle shots. Great size for me, since I drive a sedan, not a grip truck.

                      I dislike how it doesn't stand up well by itself in handcart mode, since the loading platform is not flush with floor. This can be frustrating if there's nowhere to lean it immediately prior to loading. Also, I'd love to have some built-in eye loops for bungee cords.

                          This is a a very practical item. We did some research and found there are not many options for this type of product. this is exactly what we were looking for. My daughter is a photographer and she is only 5'1." She needed it to pull around school to take photos. With a few bungy cords, she is able to use it for some of her equipment, as well.

                            I'm 5'5", so I always need to stand on something to get the shot. I've taken this on several location shoots. Super easy to use. Everyone always wants to know where I found a step ladder on wheels!!!

                              Handy as dolly and ladder. Folds, Could be a little more useful if transformed into a cart also. Could have better locking system. But good for what it's current design is. Could also include bungi cord.

                                  Wonderful heavy duty ladder. I love the wide steps . I was thriller when I opened it and found how well this is made . So great to move equipment and shoot from as well . Also can use to clip a light from.

                                  Becomes an essential piece of gear

                                  The LadderKart combines the load bearing capability of a hand truck with the convenience and essence of a stepladder. It's a perfect piece of gear for the on-location crew or the one-man-band operation.

                                  The LadderKart combines the load bearing capability of a hand truck with the convenience and essence of a stepladder. It's a perfect piece of gear for the on-location crew or the one-man-band operation.

                                  In use, the Ladderkart will easily move a couple hundred pounds of gear, essentially all that's necessary for a photographer or videographer, from car to location. Then it unfolds in a snap to provide help in setting up lights, backdrops, jibs and more. For stowage, it folds into a small form and can be tucked away unobstrusively.

                                  I appreciate its light weight when preparing to schlep gear. Its construction and sturdiness is reassuring when I'm moving expensive gear. The wheels are small enough to stay out of the way but large enough to roll easily over all but the most challenging, rocky terrain. They are quiet as well. The steadiness the Ladderkart provides encourages me to shoot from its highest stop, 30-inches from the ground. While that doesn't sound high, it allows me to get far over a crowd and with a vantage point that shows in images and video.

                                  The soft, foam-covered handle allows a comfortable and secure grip even in the rain. However I caution those using the product on wet surfaces because the wheels can slip on steep lateral grades. Also, I wish the large diameter tube frame had accommodations or anchors for bungee cords which are needed to secure a load. Not a show stopper but every moment counts when getting gear to and from a location and a securely loaded kart is essential around other gear and client property.

                                  It's a good value for the money. There's really no close competition. I'd recommend to my fellow location photographers and video makers.

                                  Bigger than I thought

                                  This item is robust and well built. However it is much bigger than I imagined, and I will not be able to use it. It doesn't fit crossways in my car trunk.

                                  It also weighs a significant amount.. 10kg or 17lbs. I thought I would use it to haul my photo gear around but it is too big. There are also no easily accessible points to attach bungee cords or straps. It's a bit awkard to put into a car as well. The ladder falls open when you lift it using the cart tray.

                                    -TERRIFIC idea- I'm surprised noone else has come up w/ a similar product.
                                    -Lets me get unique vantage points in crowded events.
                                    -Facilitates transporting softboxes, scrims, reflectors, etc.

                                    Con's:
                                    -Not very stable- if you go around a turn too quickly, it will tip over.
                                    -Stairs.
                                    -Rack isn't really all that big- barely holds a Think Tank Airport Intl. V. 2 or Pelican 1510.
                                    -Hotel revolving doors.
                                    -Difficult to attach a bungee cord to secure loads.

                                    -The worst part:
                                    If the end cap screw thing comes off (see images) & you think it's broke, then the manufacturer will tell you to send it back at YOUR expense. No option to use towards credit to buying the "new & improved" version.

                                    I use it to lug around my heavy strobes and to get up high for large group shots or unique angles. It s large but it does its job well!

                                        This is a great step ladder to use. I ma thankful for wheels instead of carrying it. I do wish that it wasn't as long so I can take it in my suitcase.

                                        This item is robust and well built. However it is much bigger than I imagined, and I will not be able to use it. It doesn't fit crossways in my car trunk.
                                        It also weighs a significant amount.. 10kg or 17lbs. I thought I would use it to haul my photo gear around but it is too big. There are also no easily accessible points to attach bungee cords or straps. It's a bit awkard to put into a car as well. The ladder falls open when you lift it using the cart tray.

                                        I purchased then returned after my first wedding (I'm a photographer). It's ok considering it is a both ladder and a cart but not great at either. I already owned a cart with flip-out back wheels that was able to easily carry hundreds of pounds. As a cart, it was heavy and a bit unstable; plus had no ties or straps to hold the load. As a ladder, it was ok but again heavy to move and a bit narrow - plus the wheels become a trip hazard. Conversely, I have a ultra-light 2 step ladder that easy to carry and use. Last, although not advertised for this purpose, I though it would serve as convenient seat but far too narrow except for a skinnest's butts!In summary, as a dual function ladder-step it's ok and wouldn't advise against buying it as long as you are willing to accept the compromises of each - I wasn't.

                                          I've always wanted to take a step ladder to a photo shoot so I could do some shots from up above the subject. But I didn't want to carry a ladder around with all the other stuff I carted around. I heard a famous photographer mention this product at B&H and I checked it out. I researched and then ordered it. It's very sturdy and I love that you can cart a couple of those plastic tubs filled with all kinds of props! Well worth the money.

                                            I bought this a little while ago. It works great for moving gear on location and also as a step ladder for setting up gear and for getting high angle shots. It is very sturdy and it seems to live up to its capacity ratings. I wouldn't load it up with hundred of pounds (as a cart) but it will definitely support you normal size loads. The wheels are good quality and move very well. Overall I'm very pleased.

                                                I used this on a wedding job to haul my bag and at the same time get height for some group photos. It works well as a ladder but if you use the cart you will need to use a bungee cord or something for going more than a few feet or rough terrain since platform isn't as large as I thought. Not really a problem for me though. One of the main issues I found with the cart portion of this product is that it doesn't 'click' or remain rigid when you have the cart flap down- so if your load is small and heavy (like mine was - camera bag about 35#), it won't stand erect by itself. You either have to pop open the ladder or hold it, which isn't the best.

                                                  There are a few things that would make this better. A means to lock the base so the cart would stand up on its own, would be nice. Also, a few hooks for bungee cords would be welcome. Nevertheless, given the price, it is hard to criticize them. Great ladder and kart combo.

                                                    Sturdy, comfortable ergonomics, and the construction quality seems good. Great for one-man-band load-ins, especially when the nearest parking spot is a few blocks from location. Does double-duty by getting you up to focus lights and grab high-angle shots. Great size for me, since I drive a sedan, not a grip truck.

                                                    I dislike how it doesn't stand up well by itself in handcart mode, since the loading platform is not flush with floor. This can be frustrating if there's nowhere to lean it immediately prior to loading. Also, I'd love to have some built-in eye loops for bungee cords.

                                                    This ladder is affordable, well built and solid. It can carry gear around and it is perfect for group photo shot avoiding most obvious pitfall of shooting a large group at the same level. It really is an outstanding product.

                                                        This is a a very practical item. We did some research and found there are not many options for this type of product. this is exactly what we were looking for. My daughter is a photographer and she is only 5'1." She needed it to pull around school to take photos. With a few bungy cords, she is able to use it for some of her equipment, as well.

                                                          I'm 5'5", so I always need to stand on something to get the shot. I've taken this on several location shoots. Super easy to use. Everyone always wants to know where I found a step ladder on wheels!!!

                                                          Very solid. Better than expected.

                                                            Handy as dolly and ladder. Folds, Could be a little more useful if transformed into a cart also. Could have better locking system. But good for what it's current design is. Could also include bungi cord.
