I'm baaaaack.....with limited interweb access for the time being.


Anyone know of a rolling rack specifically designed for transporting marley?

Ooooooh pretty....still searching if anyone else has ideas.

Thats pretty much all there is out there. I have built these things before and they are not all that hard to build if you are good with a welder. I have a friend who tours with Moscow Ballet and I believe even they build their own.

I like that one in the link. I've always just mad my own, but I really like the fold down sides on that one. I may have to incorporate that feature into my next one. That would be useful for large soft goods builds too.

First, Marley has not been manufactured since the 1970s.

Second, OP: You didn't say if your application is for Touring or House use, but the one you have found is awful. Send an email to All Access Staging & Productions and/or B and R Scenery: Contact Us and see if they have any pictures of theirs. The one you have found is horrible. Gimme a day and 200' of 2x2 SqT and $100 worth of misc. materials and I'll fix you a better one. Where's the detachable crank handle so one never has to pick up the rolls? How can that thing pack in a truck? Fork pockets? Tape storage in the unused/wasted space?

The Rock Show carps are more advanced in so many ways.

That's because the answer is yes...its for both. But not full on touring. Low budget rent-a-haul touring.

I bet you're one of those people who says tissue and never Kleenex aren't you?

Rock show carps get more money than I do.

Whether or not you can afford it is a different matter.

Never actually seen one used. Mostly, the tours I've been on that have used Marley just throw them on top of a scenery cart or something.
