Gen 6 Prototypes / Pre-Production units of SCHLEPP ONE and SCHLEPP ONE-S Camera Carts

Due to the extensive development of SCHLEPP ONE and SCHLEPP ONE-S Camera Carts and Workstations, we have become leading specialists in designing and making ultra-lightweight, robust and highly portable camera carts and workstations.

Please note that our SCHLEPP ONE-S is a fully collapsible, height adjustable Mini-Cart - weighing 11 KG (24 lbs.) only (incl. Casters and without Middle Shelf).

Its payload is 45 KG / 100 lbs. It’s by far the lightest camera cart in the world with a solid top shelf - followed by SCHLEPP ONE (12.8 KG weight, 55 KG payload).

Schlepp One-S (Baby Schlepp) production unit with Middle Shelf and other equipment and accessories. Net cart weight: 11 KG (incl. casters, excl. middle shelf). 

Our best-selling flagship model SCHLEPP ONE is just 12.8 KG (28.3 lbs) without accessories and Middle Shelf (ca. 16.5 KG / 36.4 lbs incl. Middle Shelf and Crossbars).

It took 2+ years to develop these ultra-lightweight carts - and 5 generations of prototypes.

Both models have height adjustable tubes (legs), and they are fully collapsible. (Optional) Middle Shelves fit inside the carts for transport.

The shelves of SCHLEPP ONE (and SCHLEPP ONE-S) have 60mm walls (lips) to protect your precious gear during productions. (Recessed front lip on the top shelf for easier computer access.)
