With the variety of projects I work on, many didn’t support using a cart… for instance my last project was below decks on a battleship and the man ways are only 28″ wide and the stairs were almost vertical. A cart is fine if you have the right sized vehicle to transport it, such as a minivan or a small rental van/truck.
When you are looking to transport lights, C-stands, stingers and the like, remember that you also need to weight each C-stand with an appropriate sand or shot bag. Pretty soon you are talking a few to several hundred pounds, so you want a vehicle that can carry all that weight without a problem.
Try to have PA or friend help out with the logistics of carrying everything and feed and water them well.
Good luck.
