SCHLEPP ADVANCE Camera Cart - The new Possible.

SCHLEPP ADVANCE is a slightly larger addition to our Camera Carts and mobile Workstations for Photographers, Video Producers, Content Creators, and Imaging Techs. 

Besides our Ultra-lightweight champions SCHLEPP ONE and SCHLEPP ONE-S, it's the only sub-20 KG cart with a dedicated, professional design for imaging specialists:

All shelves are fully accessible from all sides, SCHLEPP ADVANCE is Made in Germany with carefully designed and sourced quality parts. 

It's not a modified 100$ Beach Wagon or Stage Truck with clumsy wooden Shelves - our collapsible and portable, lightweight design focuses on maximum functionality and robustness.

Series wheels are black.

SCHLEPP ADVANCE in a Nutshell:

• Collapsible, compact Camera / Production Cart and Workstation
• Single-Person Use, one-hand carry
• Fits all regular Cars (trunks, Seats, Footwells)
• Materials: Aluminium Alloy, Stainless Steel, Nylon
• 75 KG / 165 lbs Dynamic Load*
• 15.5 KG (34.2 lbs) net Weight incl. Caster Wheels, 40-60% lighter than small Heavy-Duty Cart types (Ino**tiv 30", Adi**m Mini, Sm***rig, Mag***er Mini)

SCHLEPP ADVANCE Camera Cart has less functions than SCHLEPP ONE (SCHLEPP ONE-S) and is a bit "chunkier" - please see our comparison chart.

If you want the lightest and best portable Camera Cart, SCHLEPP ONE Camera Cart Series is unmatched around the globe!

Who is it for? 

SCHLEPP ADVANCE is a compact Photography, Video-, or Digi- Cart and Workstation, designed for solo-assignments, small crews, or working in tight spaces.

SCHLEPP ADVANCE offers 600x400 mm standard Euro Box compatibility, options to mount larger displays (up to 6.5 KG / 14.5 lbs), and puncture-proof 6" wheels for all hard grounds (1" larger than on SCHLEPP ONE / SCHLEPP ONE-S). 

The walls (lips) at the base are 40mm (1.6") in height to allow full access to Euro Boxes with side flaps - while still keeping your equipment safely in place.

Standard 600x400 Euro Boxes can be stacked on the base. Boxes with side flips grant access to your equipment. 

The 65mm (2.55") walls (lips) on the Top Shelf protect your gear, the front lip is lowered for computer access.

Numerous mounts (without threads) allow first-party and a wide range of common third-party add-ons and gear to be securely attached for professional use:

• digi plates or laptop mounts
• tablets
• compact ballheads
• TV Pins
• cheeseplates
• hooks
• stands
• displays...

SCHLEPP ADVANCE is recommended for use with typical 14-24" video or computer displays and can even be used with 27" displays. With SCHLEPP ADVANCE, solo operators or small teams now have a professional, solid sub-20 KG (44 lbs) Cart option for tethering to larger displays, and for taking EURO Box containers to their pro gigs. 

All shelves feature long slots, allowing cables to be neatly routed or equipment to be safely secured with straps or nets.

The optional Middle Shelf offers additional space for cases or large battery packs. It has integrated Mounting Brackets and can be set up by a single person. The Middle Shelf stores away inside the Cart when in transport mode.

Optional Middle Shelf stored INSIDE the Base of SCHLEPP ADVANCE. 

Optionally, you can stack simple, budget-friendly Euro boxes and use the top one as a ‘Middle Shelf’ for carry-on sized equipment cases. Great for transporting cables, grip material, or batteries under your camera equipment. 

For attaching larger displays, we recommend the use of the Middle Shelf for attaching C-Stand columns safely to your SCHLEPP ADVANCE Cart. 

Special clamps allow the tubes (legs) to be securely held in the cart during transport.

*Dynamic load vs static load and wheels

Unlike some manufacturers who report only static load ratings, our dynamic load reflects real-world use. The actual dynamic load during use can exceed nominal static weight ratings by factor 2-4x. That's why beach wagons and similar types frequently fail, break, or experience tire blowouts – their stated 200 kg load actually translates to ca. 70-90 kg of dynamic load. In addition, overloading cheap pneumatic tires with incorrect pressure can lead to severe damage to your equipment.

Our carts are designed and TESTED for 75 KG (165 lbs) dynamic load, our wheel options are puncture-proof and maintenance-free. Featuring excellent damping, our caster wheels deliver a smooth and quiet rolling experience, completely hassle-free.

Excess load and push / pull test with 90% overload (12x 12KG / 12x 26,46 lbs sand bags). The actual (recommended) max. dynamic load is 75 KG / 165 lbs.
