wheels
have you thought about putting wheels on the lockers. Don't laugh! As I wheel my luggage about it would be convenient to wheel my locker also. Thanks!

John was thinking about putting wheels on, but he couldn't figure out which end of the locker was the front or the back. Because of that, his prototype model was a complete failure because he opted to put a wheel on opposite corners.

Gee, Ken, and I thought you were going to post a link to the set of wheels that can be strapped onto a Locker and then left inside the Locker for future use...

As heavy as our locker is I wish that I could find a way to attach some wheels!

Same here. I just shove it along the floor when it is full because it is SO heavy.

After looking at the wheels the real question is: What are you training the locker and/ or owner to do?

Folding utility carts
John, Have you considered offering collapsible hand carts? Between OL, luggage, groceries and whatever else, being able to rent a utility cart for a small fee would be helpful. I think the basic one holds up to 200 lbs. I'm not referring to the luggage carts, but the more rugged carts.

I bought a cute little rolling cart that folds up into the size of a folded umbrella. i had it in my carryon bag. I was so excited to use it the first time when I went to get my OL from bell services. But darn it! they had already delivered my OL to my room before I checked in.

I did use when I took my OL back at the end of my stay. The guys in bell services were fascinated by my cart.

My OL is packed to the gills and weighs probably 25-30 lbs. The cart worked just fine.

I have to laugh because every (and I mean EVERY) time we pack our OL to go home my husband talks about wheels. He's convinced he's going to figure out a way to install/attach them without adding weight, compromising the structure or "stackability" or reducing storage capacity.

I was one who never liked using Bell Services. I always wanted things under my control. More recently however I started to use them specifically for my locker because it was a pain to carry it & no wheel systems I found or invented in my mind were actually practical.

Bottom line is that I used to be one of those guys trying to figure out a cart system, but now I let Bell Services do the hauling. Wheels would be a waste.

Where did you find such a snazzy cart? I think I'll need it/one as DH and I are moving not once but twice during our stay this November -- that's what we get for not having enough DVC points for where and how long I want to stay at WDW.

If you happen to come by and see this, any info on your cart would be great! THANKS!
