I just delivered a tube mixer to a customer in North Carolina. He wants to be able to move it around the studio. It weighs about 70 lbs and has a separate power supply. So he asked me if I could recommend a source of some sort of cart - something about table top height on  (lockable) wheels with a shelf under for the PSU. Recommendations?

Anyone? Can any of the US based studio furniture companies off something like this?

If it was me I'd use T-Slot framing and make it exactly the way I want it. In the USA a popular brand is 80/20. It's a little DIY so it may not be appropriate. Wouldn't any end table type thing work? Ikea?

I appreciate that but my customer is not a DIYer. He wants to buy one or have one made for him.

They can get quite pricey but, would a movie production equipment cart work?

I do not know the size, but how about something like this:

I was thinking something like this.  It was the first I saw when I searched "movie equipment cart" and it is pricey.
Possibly they're less expensive Stateside?

That looks pretty much like what I think he is looking for. Good and sturdy but mobile. I will try a search for one stateside.

If the film carts look good I’d go to a restaurant supply place. They’ll have something similar for much less money. Those wheels are way overkill for rolling around a studio. Many restaurant supply places will fabricate counters and tables to order.

Ouch!  Over $3K! 
Good idea on the restaurant cart as an alternative.

I use a lot of restaurant wire shelving. You have to assemble it but I don't think it rises to the level of DIY. That's even cheaper than having something fabricated from stainless steel.

Older style location mixer carts can go fairly cheap used.  I had one recently that I sold for $250, IIRC--I think $250 to $300 is not unusual.  Things have changed a bit as Nagras have given way to digital recorders, so the older carts can often be gotten for a pretty good price.

And on the cheap end of the spectrum...

You have to put them together from scratch, every last nut and bolt.

I have two of these.

Wow. That's cheap. Almost wish they'd ship that to Europe...

[ruffrecords]

And that cart actually looks the right size too. I will pas it on to my customer.

Many Thanks

I have that exact cart. That's what I put all of my electronics stuff on so that I can push it away into a closet. It works fine for that purpose but it is a very cheap item. I don't know why you would want to put a fancy tube mixer on it. That's a service cart for a machine shop where you dump parts being pulled off of an old Ford compact. It would stick out like a soar thumb in even a garage studio.

Well I sent the link to my customer and he says he likes it.
