The expensive equipment must be stored safely and yet easily. Therefore, a lot of space is needed for accessories like filters, lenses, attachments, etc. Numerous photo trolleys in the Foto Erhardt range are perfectly suited for this purpose - we are sure to have the right model for you!
Normal trolleys are probably familiar to everyone. These practical suitcases can easily be pulled behind you thanks to their movable wheels. They are usually smaller than average travel suitcases and are therefore ideal for shorter trips with little luggage. Sometimes normal wheeled suitcases are declared as photo trolleys. Depending on your needs for a suitcase, a normal model may be sufficient to safely transport some of your photo equipment. However, if you have a large amount of equipment and often need to carry it with you on short trips or assignments, you should look for a distinct photo trolley with some important features.
The wheeled case should, above all, ensure that you can safely move your photo equipment from one place to another. It should therefore have a shockproof, sturdy outer material and be well padded on the inside. In addition, good photo trolleys are usually quite light so that you can still transport the case as easily as possible even when it is loaded with your heavy equipment. Furthermore, a sensible division of the interior is enormously important. Individually adjustable interior dividers, zipped compartments, holders and compartments for your equipment should be available in sufficient numbers and, above all, well thought out. Good organisation of your equipment is the be-all and end-all. It guarantees quick access to the required parts if this is necessary spontaneously.
A really good trolley is characterised by the fact that both your camera equipment can be safely stored and at the same time the necessary items of clothing, your laptop and other luggage find space in the case. If you have to carry another piece of luggage with you, the comfort on the trip is significantly reduced and a decisive advantage of the photo trolley is therefore invalid.
For a pleasant comfort when moving around, many rolling suitcases have an extendable and height-adjustable handle. This can be adjusted to your body size and arm length and pulled comfortably. Another not entirely unimportant aspect is the size of the luggage. Especially if the suitcase is also to be taken on air travel, it is important that its dimensions conform to the regulations of the airlines. The product descriptions of most trolleys explicitly state this.
The advantages of a photo trolley lie in the high level of impact protection thanks to the robust casing and the protection against a fall. This means that the photo equipment inside is well protected. It is also very dimensionally stable and protects the equipment against shocks during transport. With very good quality, the trolley is also airtight, dustproof and waterproof thanks to special seals. Many closures also prevent the trolley from being opened unintentionally.
The main disadvantage compared to other containers is the somewhat higher weight and the method of transport. Pulling the suitcase on wheels is not suitable for every terrain. The remedy here is the clever models that can be used both as a backpack and as a trolley. You will also find these models in the Foto Erhardt range! However, a normal photo trolley is definitely a sensible companion on flights and city trips.
