The Kartmaster HD500S received one of ten "Pick Hits" in product design at the 1995 NAB trade show from Video Systems magazine. Independent judges assigned awards based on "making the workers job easier". The Kartmaster HD500S is made of square aluminum and stainless steel rods. The telescoping construction opens with a push button to 49" in height. The extruded aluminum nose plate folds out and carries 500 lbs. in the upright hand truck mode and rolls on a choice of pneumatic or solid polyurethane tires. The cart has been tested by repeatedly dropping 500 lb. loads 2 feet without any damage to the cart, cases or tires. When the site is reached, the auxiliary shelves, (without the use of screws and lock nuts) can be attached to the flat bed mode providing a work table. The top shelf has patented hinges which also act as supports for 200 lbs. of monitors, cameras, or a place to assemble lighting or sound equipment . The rear wheels may be locked eliminating the problem of an accidental bump of the equipment shelf after set up . The standard matte black finish removes the possibility of an added light source on set. Each unit has a serial number deeply inscribed on it. Recently added: When the cart is in the flat bed mode, the upright hand truck handles pivot into space under the cart. This enhancement eliminates any problem of catching a boot rim on them. Disk Jockeys and touring bands will find the use of Kartmaster HD500 makes moving gear in and out in one trip a snap. The Kartmaster carries 500 lbs. in either the upright or flatbed modes. Once the equipment is set up, the cart can be modified to a table top by adding the auxiliary top shelf. Keyboard musicians and disk jockeys have an instant work site. |
