Has anyone used it as a flat carrier to haul items; for example when all four sides are folded in?

If it's light like up to 10 Lbs it will be fine, but the side doors can be removed to haul larger cargo. You can also place some large light (10-15 lbs) objects on the top lid if necessary.

I am sure it could be used as a flatbed. However, the metal is not thick, probably is not steel. Also, I wouldn't put too much weight on this because it's difficult to haul the cargo cart with a bicycle when it's too heavy. For example, I tried to pull 4 3 gallon jug with it all at the same time, and it was difficult at best to ride the bike the few miles back to my house with it. I am an avid cyclist (40 miles per day) and generally keep my gear ratio on the highest level of resistance, so to say something is difficult for me to haul with my bike is really saying something.

Pretty easily...for quick transport, I just flip the top and bottom rails over so they're parallel with the main vertical support legs, then the whole thing is flat for carrying. But it gets even more compact if you also take off the center support (just a quick unscrewing of the knobs on either side), then the whole thing is in three easily moveable pieces.

I use it to haul dog crates and use bungee cords so they don't fall off. It is very thin on the bottom. You might have to slightly tip the front up to get it started but I think it would work.

I carry both my 5.5lb & 9.0lb pups in the carrier together. Perhaps I've never incurred the buckling because I've always had the base with wheels attached (which keeps the bottom flat), along with the removable vinyl bottom piece that came inside the carrier.

Yes. That's the main reason I favor these over 4 wheel rollators. If you set it up as pictured, with the basket and the tray on it, it will not fold. It's kept from doing so by the basket. But used without those extras, it folds and rolls as needed to navigate small aisles in libraries, gift shops and cramped home spaces. Sorry it took me this long to answer your question. I was out of town in Emerald Isle, NC, navigating beach town gift shops and grocery stores with my Nova.

Even when folded, it takes up a lot of space. Am sure it would have to be checked as regular luggage. It is fantastic for transporting pets over hot pavement and rough terrain. Does bog down a bit in sandy soil or soft gravel. Seems durable. Have had mine for 3 or 4 years now and it gets constant use about 8 months of the year.

It does fold flat, but doubles in length. [: You can also remove the corner poles in seconds and stack the four faces up if the length is too long. [:

I have not done it, but from the looks of it I don't see what not. One thing to note, you should not use this for heavy items as it will sag in the back. The only support is in front.

I had not considered that, but it may fold back if you give it a try. The worst case scenario is you would just transport it the way you would a standard box spring. Even if it folds back, I don't think you'll be saving that much space.

yes the sides fold and are held by K clips. Takes about 30 seconds to remove all sides about the same to hook them back up. I use mine for a range wagon to haul my shooting equipment works great.

Based on my experience, this model is not suited to fold up and easy transport, I suggest that you look at other product alternatives.

Yes folds wide open and flat, it has a TSA logo. I've used many times with no problems.

Yes they fold up to a very streamline carrier. I love it. If I get groceries I can unfold one or both sides to carry them home. There is an adjustable strap to hold the unfolded bag to the bike frame so that they don't flop around while riding

Yes, It Is a perfect carrier for low vehicles. I have it and it is really handy and doesn't scrape at all anywhere.

I have not. As long as you don't try to fold it I can see why it would not work unless the frame is not sturdy.

Hi Brian, I was told by my supplier that this trailer folds flat. The trailer does not have a quick fold option such, yet does fold for travel/storage.
