Introduction/Definition/etc
Lidl sells, this weekend special
(while supplies last)
ParkSide (a house hardware/ tools brand)
Folding (collapses some
like a foot at the ankle and toes pop out
foot gets longer, not immediately apparent)
Aluminum platform (expanding rails)
other parts like wheels are plastic and likely steel
for about $30.
Body
Original Text
A little like buying the
AldiGardenLineGardenUtilityCart2019
but smaller, lighter, and less expansive,
(expensive (cost$) but expansive (Size)
fits too)
but doesn't take as much weight/(pay)load,
i think that one is 500lbs,
this 330 lb (100? kilograms),
and collapses a lot smaller,
whether it works folded up,
like a Dolly
with a handle you aren't using,
idk yet...
only two of the wheels swivel,
and lock, the back ones,
the front only go forward,
(or backward) a lot of basic dollies
all wheels swivel...
(Aldi has a dolly on sale,
no frills, non skit top, $20)
Plastic wheels in a steel fork
(analogy to bicycle front fork)
SomeAssemblyRequired
While they give you a couple
tools, stamped (think cookie cutter
in sheet metal) few inch wrench
(thin and short)
therefore little torque/leverage
and a socket like thing
with a hex socket for the nut,
and sliding nail like T handle,
plus it's an extender (long trunk),
required for getting
in the rails,
while booklet/manual says
qualified people to assemble,
not very specific,
your average/sterotypical female
secretary (now called assistant?)
who may want one
but likely give to another
department/boyfriend,
tech support,
local shipping guy(s)/ gal(s)
who use hand trucks
to assemble for them,
like an Xmas bike and
other things,
reminded of washing machine,
dishwasher, other domestic appliances,
or a Father's day tie, weed whacker,
etc might be too do this for me/
honeydo list, and less of a romantic/
shows you care gift...
I went all the way out to Sterling,
a new Lidl store for me
to get one, while the local stores
may have had some,
closest i was recently overcharged again,
a set of green onions,
added to my bill/ at checkout
(like you stink, or something),
left on the conveyor belt
when a new line opened
early in the day,
one of the first customers,
(0800a opening,
seasonal commuting,
still warm out
so doing early times,
later in cold/snow
maybe later times?)
then the problem manager
(MoreAutreat2011PostProcessing
or LidlHaulByHandCartTruck2021 ?
Precious again?)
complains: "it would be you",
or similar, and blocks the exit,
with another staffer, and likely
fork lift, sometimes stocking the front,
entranceway, one time a bulk toilet paper
accident, some spilling out, but i needed
paper towels instead and hands full already,
like got a match when about to drop/
juggling enough already, sort it out
outside where don't have to wear a mask)
so problem stores, and Sterling
may be one also judging/guessing from
gMaps2019
reviews of it,
i guess like a WalMart/Target type job
doesn't enthrall your average
millennial (sp?)
so taking it out on customers,
disabled, old, white,
any difference from
suburban norms/mores
actually,
all targeted, it seems,
even teen girls with a dad seemed
to get a kick in on the way out
getting even for
SubUrbanMade2015
or something,
and likely 'have to read you'
type problems too...
Anyways, 25 miles back,
construction on Route 7,
asking directions, even that
NeighborhoodWatch around
Reston Ave, helpful, parallels
Reston ParkWay, narrower,
have sidewalk paths,
found an IreLand tour book
at a LittleFreeLibrary,
and dumps out at a T stop
on Whielie (sp?) (irony?)...
Skipped taking rail back,
homage to RoutesOfChange,
(non motor), and down hill right?
KGMRAlt2019
Namaste2018
(between EmailListRoadKill2018
3DPrinter2012
going on a decade of commuting
but not done since PanDemic started)
and/or
LemonAde stand on a big hill
helpful passing skinny tire
no cargo biker: "might need to speed up
to make it up the hill",
BlackThorn? (close: BuckThorn(e?))
and passed by the stand,
curious, but kept going,
stop later on, had bought a little
food for the trip, as skipped breakfast
and would need to use a bathroom,
so bought cheap strawberry kiwi
juice, (mostly high fructose corn syrup,
apple juice, flavored with strawberry
and kiwi), cheaper than lemonade
at $1.35 or so and more volume/quantity
and maybe ecofriendly container,
less plastic...
and the NeighborHoodWatch mom,
dealing with kids who didn't go out
for a walk suggested that insulated backpack
worn (warn fits too, warn of problems,
so wear another way) on the front,
as secondary (front pack),
could put on handlebars,
with bar ends, better for cooling
which was becoming
more of a problem mid day,
10a-1400p peak burning time,
Route 7 car exhaust, noise, other irritants,
getting to be SaturDay afternoon,
OctoberFest on the way out
was blocking the W&OD park trail,
forcing people off their bikes,
for crossing their closed street,
i guess trying to get/ jack
participation in their fair/ commerce,
and drinking site, near the history
FreeMan (not race but Jewish like name?)
museum/oldest store, but no go,
poor moi...
SomeAssemblyReQuired Continued
So 16 screws,
bolts actually
and nuts,
bolts, washers and nuts already
installed on one set, without the wheels,
near the latched (pull/push? bar) hinge,
4 bolts per rolling wheel attachment,
but 8 bolts already on and washers
"to keep from damaging in transit" or similar,
and i lost one of the sleeves/ spacers?
noticing the rails are wide but not
closed on one side,
so would they expand
under stress/ compression?
and front wheels into those
softer aluminum rails/channels
and wonder besides the annoying
assembly required if there are better
design options, DIY/DeStructAbles
buying piecemeal the parts,
more cost effective by
economies of scale to get this,
but how to enhance it?
for replacing the dolly like wheels
bolting on yourself seems to make sense,
but other things
like fixed front wheels
a cross between dolly, hand truck & shopping cart
(remember
NF was in MerriWeather
Friday?/ or Saturday?,
and i missed it, had noticed
from tickets on YouTube sales
given he seem to lip sync
his concerts, according to some
and not quite Vanilla Ice,
guess i didn't miss much,
and short on funds anyways,
plus transportation,
NorthByNorthEast2018
but where to leave stuff/
bring this as my own cart?
how to get stuff in?
safe bike/cart/truck
parking/ storage)
some NoGoodDeedGoesUnPunished2021
related sites seemed to want to give me tickets,
others wanted me to buy tickets
then we go, (for unknown values of We,
of which We = Me, not You, most cases,
hence LeaveMeAlone2021)
but not sure i'd want
to be around those, and some
may have tried to give me tickets,
but likely some hood rat(s) got
them instead...
Seems to be part of the ecoSystem
built up around me, someone
tries doing a nice thing and
predatory others
benefit instead,
ToWhomItMayConcern2020
etc)
FireDrill
no sirens, and end, perhaps.
of the building inspection process
so other problems,
some say i passed,
others (haters?:) how did that pass,
and harassment by fire and
staff: "you have to leave the building",
not sure why
the alarm had already stopped,
i took a shower,
as had been in for 4 days,
and needed one, while deciding
listening for sirens,
fake alarms, deserve fake
responses right?
especially when they then
say "let's go check what he's hiding"
and someone retorts:
"we've seen worse", and
"it won't be admissible",
while nasty staff, stalking,
jumping the gate, trying to get in
and pretending to live there
rats/ crabs trying to climb
to the top, menacing staff,
don't even deposit your rent
check on time, then likely claim
you didn't pay or late, or
credit wrong to other people,
etc... Menacing jump out
of the staff bathroom,
when forced to use another
entrance, by locking some entrances,
only to be harassed
that way too, blocking another,
and disabling one,
while locking exits, fire exits,
likely a HayMarket like fire
disaster waiting to happen,
(iirc, a warehouse/ sweatshop
where locked exits led to the
deaths of many slave like workers,
one of the reasons we got
limited hours work week,
around May Day rebellion,
iirc, check facts?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_Shirtwaist_Factory_fire
1911 GreenWich NYC
predates? HayMarket bomb anarchist
rebellion one made a 52hour work week
less child labor, and start safety
OSHA type work place,
the next down to 40 hour work week,
seen in a PBS type documentary
likely together, just the order of them
transposed, afaict)
Sure open up illegally locked doors
for fire drills,
but in the case of a real
emergency or anything
other than fake safety
then make a show for
the abusive fire people too?
while trying to discredit whistleblowers?
SomeAssemblyRemember?
Anyways, will see, if i find
the sleeve part,
fell amongst stuff,
and try to replace some parts,
find parts, like the
MoreOrLessLidl2021
Trekking Pole
taking parts in to a real hardware store
to get a good match,
means disassembling and not using,
a cheap part if they have an exact match,
inner diameter, length, thickness, etc
HarborFrieght
HarborFreightToolsBxRdsOpen2020
is not a real hardware store, btw,
only kits of parts, but
not specified/ little likelihood
of sleeves/ spacers
Lidl a while back had
ParkSide extra bolts, nuts, washers
in clear compartmental cases,
wonder if have that size/ part?
didn't for the specialized trekking pole
missing parts,
and such a hassle for the return,
possibly better than folding/
collapsable luggage racks, will see,
heavier, and will take heavier loads,
but with today's pandemic/viral
cleaning/ etc
plastic wheels, spraying those
(alcohol based solvents
likely bad on plastics)
or let sit for 4+ days,
to self sterilization?
Mass/ large UV locker?
and works if not unfolded?
cheaper dollies, might exist,
2x4s in a frame, wheels
attached, and what to get underneath,
my usual trick of inner tubes
making better/longer handles,
extending too short?
(stereotypical Asian sizing?)
Modified Text
What's Missing?
easy ways to get parts,
bolts sizing
M6/8? bolts/ self locking nuts?
washers?
why not keep those spreads loads?
better channels/ cross
Missing some rivets?
must be a WednesDay hand cart/truck
What Can Be Found?
LegaSleeze on how not to use it
shifting responsibility
Maintenance
if bad don't use,
maintenance, Real would fix it,
and parts would be available
instead of just disposable
built in obsolescence
PlannedObsolesence2016
What Can Not Be Found?
How To Analyze?
Lenses
Noob
SomeAssemblyRequired
may get you?
Design wise,
weak front non turning wheels
back locking/ braked/
Otherwise it may fail
in new and interesting ways,
physics (+cheap design?),
who knew?
Kids
Like most hings not a toy
not for human/ pet/ animal
precious cargo,
not for kids, despite
kid type height and size
unexpanded, platform and
handle...
Dis/Diss/Dys/Hiss/Etc
If mechanically inclined,
or know someone who is,
and will assemble for you
might be a way to not
carry as much,
except, for carrying the 17lb?
item itself, so has to be worth
it, imnsho...
Not a stroller, not a walker,
not a wheel chair, but might
make some carrying distances
better? or not?
wheel size and curbs?
ramps? catches on what?
seams in concrete sideWalks?
GeneralPublic
Extra special dolly?
aluminum?
doesn't rust right?
put aluminum in the dishwasher
gets this white/grey rust on it,
and aluminum causes Alzheimer's
right?
Better not eat the dolly right?
Assumptions
SomeAssemblyRequired
like Batteries Not Included
(their Lithium powered tools, btw)
may get you, idk...
I'm not you(ze).
Time Limits
2 Day Weekend sale
or until sold out,
draw people in on busiest days,
another gimmick,
advertise the item,
then disclaimer
supply chain problems,
so might not find,
and searchable quantities,
and descriptions limited time
on the app / website,
have to register to even see
stuff, cookies don't work,
remember,
so assemble and take
home? can you figure it out
in the parking lot?
worth the risk?
Book Data
Manual likely copyRighted,
the additions, corrections
would have to be a
gift to the corporate world
to fix the broken English,
text with numbers
to diagrams not there?
part numbers?
exact part sizes?
for finding replacements?
Tune up wheel kits?
bigger wheels?
enhancements?

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
Something to try,
have to find the little part that fell,
wonder about the torques,
none listed and likely not much
given the small tools,
locking washers,
and plastic wheels,
but folds down so like a lot
of stuff, some not even tried yet,
an Aldi
AldiCantFinds2020
(finally got the next year)
collapsing like wagon,
This ParkSide is smaller than that,
but not as light?
and both aluminum?
use to get to commercial laundry
like a big hamper?
then replacing the fabric?
likely the
AldiGardenLineGardenUtilityCart2019
and not being multimodal (sp? +hyphen?)
on buses, hand truck
worked once, but will see...
Luggage carts break even
bigger heavier ones
and the grocery full size
non folding/ collapses
doesn't seem to be worth it,
this will see...
Discussion
A place for feedback on the page presented
What pull along things have you tired?
Does wheel size and type of wheel
make a difference?
Why is everything made so cheaply?
How much assembly is reasonable?
For you?
for others?
who might need / want one of these?
The right to self repair
laws, does that apply here?
Why?
Why Not?
What means of cargo / utility
is allowed on Public Transit?
How far?
goes over the entrance?
gets suck in wheels?
have to take the elevator
then risk others not masking
and breathing on you?
What better options do you have?
Rent a kid?
or not worth the trouble?
/Risk?
They don't even do their family
chores, why rent them out/
hire them?
