Wow, Donnie:

I could use that thing to establish an "ambulance service" out here in the sticks of "West Mayberry!" LOL!

Thanks for sharing. ----Dave

Taking recent health happenings into consideration, I'd rather not have anything to do with a gurney ... laugh2 ...
But I guess this could be a viable option for certain situations ... I can picture someone setting it up so that all one would have to do is plug into a power supply ...

I kind of zipped through that video, but did it show him trying to push that rig back up those ramps???
A friend of mine used ramps like that but also installed an electric powered winch to pull everything back up into his van...
His kb, speakers, etc. were all set up ...

He just said to load with the large rear wheels first. Seeing that the gurneys are just South of $1000 to start, this looks more feasible to me at $60.

In & Out in one shot ALL SET UP has to be a dream come true for the daily gigging performer,..setting up is a PITA stands, covers,speakers, cables, etc,etc, especially when you have to rush and make time traveling & loading again with doubles, etc,..
there has to be a better way somehow.. mad

I watched the full video ... I'm thinking that he made the 'large wheels first' comment only because the small wheels are the 'directional' wheels and may swivel as they go up the ramp making it more difficult to push up the ramps ...
I still can't imagine trying to push a full rig - kb, two spkrs, spkr stands, cart, and whatever, up those ramps ... in order to get the best leverage, one would have to be directly behind the cart, therefore being in between the two ramps ... would that even work?!?

The simple answer is: use either a rock'n'roller or some other cart, OR build a unit on wheels onto which you can fasten the kb, spkrs, wires (all plugged into their respective places) and then get a used van and have it retro fit with an electric winch to help lower and pull the rig out of and into the van ... my friend even had his boom mic and laptop holder fastened to the rig ...
