Move-it When Shopping!
The Move-it Kit is actually quite a neat idea for those who walk back home with all their shopping goodies. The DIY kit is a makeshift trolley that’s really durable and is made from self-adhesive cardboard parts. It transforms from reckless pieces of cardboard to a functional cart for parcels within minutes. You don’t have to be a genius to piece the cart together because its construction is very basic and simple.
UPDATE: David clarifies certain recycling apprehensions, read his story inside!
It’s strong enough to take in up to 20 kgs and the parts stay bonded strong thanks to the special repulpable contact adhesive. Consisting of a set of wheels and two different types of handle, a combination of these components allows you to move boxes of almost any size and shape! Once home, you can literally recycle the whole trolley (wheels and adhesive included) because once used, or simply peel the parts off the box to reuse on another occasion.
UPDATE: The product is actually reusable, in fact I have used the same handles and wheels many times for demonstrations and clocked up over ten miles on a single set of wheels. Each time the parts are peeled off the box, they become less sticky, but they can be reused, and when after many uses the adhesive fails altogether, further adhesive can be added, to extend the products life until it wears out.

Not sure where to start with this one…
- It's a single use product then throw away; not very eco friendly, even if it is cardboard.
- You still have to lug these massive bits of cardboard to Argos / Ikea or wherever you are shopping.
- You then spend 10 minutes in the middle of the shop assembling the thing, where upon you're left with a load of sticky backings.
- 20 Kgs isn't that much in the grand scheme of big boxes, that would need to be wheeled around.
- I suspect it would probably be cheaper and much less hassle in the longrun to get a taxi or invest a few pounds more on one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/50kg-Folding-Aluminium-Ha...

@ tom, ok yes its throw away but how else would you get it home if you live 2-3 miles away, and now please don't say by car
secondly, what if argos, ikea sold it?
3rd it's not that hard, grab a wheel peel of the backing and stick it on, much faster than getting your car, parking in a no parking zone and dragging the box to it
4th 20kg is a lot if you are carrying it 2-3 miles or oven just 10 meters if you are not the fittest person and even if you are, there is a reason why it is illegal to have certain things too heavy
5th ahhh the taxi… so how is that more sustainable?
David Graham says
Hi Tom,
It's a reusable product, reuse as is, or peel off the box and replace the release papers to use on another occasion.
The shop staff stock the product and fit it for free for you if you prefer to take your purchase it away, rather than use their subsidizes delivery system which costs some retail outlets an average of £25 each time.
20Kg is not the actual weight limit of the product, but the amount of weight the EU suggest is safe to pick up and carry.
If the shop give you the product and fit it for you, so you deliver it yourself, they are better off financially, and so are you as you do not need a taxi.
How many people do you know who carry a folding aluminium sack barrow about with them in case they might want to buy a boxed item? That is the point of this product.

Agree with Tom, and If it rains it will be a rough time to pull.
yosh says
You shouldn't be standing with a cardboard box in the rain, anyway =)
David Graham says
The rain reduces friction slightly, which makes it easier to pull. The current model lasts about 30mins in the rain. A normal cardboard box will last about 10mins before it starts to disintegrate as it is made of inferior material

I think this product would be great when you don't have someone to assist you with a large carton.
Or it could enable a small person to handle an item that only a bigger or stronger person would normally be able to handle.
David Graham says
Hi Cameron
Thank you, you're quite right, even a 5Kg box soon becomes heavy if you have to lug it any distance, and if you are not very strong or tire easily, any help available is a real asset. My 79 year old mother has wheeled a 10kg Move-it test rig a few miles with no problems.It is too heavy for her to lift, but she can pull it up and down kerbs and wheel it along effortlessly.
Jessica says
That's actually quite genius, and you'd be able to re-use it a number of times before it gets disposed of. Say they were sold at Ikea or something, people usually don't bring there own aluminium pulley thing, and this design could be brought from home or bought at store instead: it's lightweight, biodegradable and low in cost.

I like it. because i'm finicky. There lies the problem. how many other people are as finiky as me. I feel its all in the assembly. Hard to do I know but I feel it has to be one simple peace so shop staff can be bothered putting it together. Make it one peace and you shop owners will bite.

Thank you Jessica, it is re-usable, in fact I have got more than 10 miles out of one set of wheels and peeled them off and stuck them on another box. The idea is that the product is given away free instead of free delivery, sold at cost by the shop if they can't afford to give it away but want to help their customers, or sold as an alternative to high cost delivery services. In all cases, the shop staff could either fit it for you, or assist you if you need help as part of the sales service. Currently they make handles out of tape, string and plastic bags. The great thing about cardboard is it always gets recycled due to the huge commercial use of the material, that is why I was determined to make a 100% cardboard wheel!

Genius!
Excellent well thought out solution to a common consumer problem.
More substance than style, which is rare and refreshing for Yanko.

Children can learn about the important roles around the house, too. Show how the smoke alarm batteries checked. Teach about the Recycle Bin, and how different it away.
