Disposable Cardboard Trolley Lets You Walk Home from Ikea
Man, these great cardboard stick-on wheels should be sold in every Ikea. The kit is called Move-It, and consists of a set of self-adhesive components that stick onto a big-box purchase and let you wheel it home yourself.
Move-It is up for the James Dyson Award over in the UK, and is completely made from cardboard, from the handle up top to the axles and wheels which are designed to let you trundle across the whole city as you take your new gear home. And because it is all card, you can just toss it into the recycling bin when you’re done.
Two wheels assemblies stick onto two bottom corners, and a longer handle-piece goes wherever it is most convenient to hold and drag. As you can see in the video, it works for boxes of any size and shape, and will move loads of up to 20-kilos, or 44-pounds, letting you roll them home like a wheeled-suitcase.
The trolley will even deal with cobbled streets and even wet ground, and as you see in the video above, event the prototype, made from old boxes, managed to carry a microwave for ten miles.
It’s truly ingenious, and would make trips back from places like Ikea something to be done on public transport. You probably saw this coming, but I’d bet that this could even be towed behind a bike as long as you kept things nice and slow.
