Astro Tuff Truk

Ok! So where to start . I suppose back at my injury in April 2022 where I herniated 3 discs in my neck. As such astronomy and astrophotography has become very difficult for me, especially when it comes to lugging around really heavy equipment down to my pier! 
Now I’ve been to a few astro shows and I remembered Astro Tuff Truk. This is run by Lee Richards and his business partner Matt. They have designed and fabricated a range of trolleys/trucks to carry any equipment you can imagine. Totally over engineered, I mean my pier truk has a weight limit of 544kg !! 

So yes, I decided on a pier truk, Lee was kind enough to fit a pier plate for me, with excellent communication to ensure the right bolt fitting for my eq6-r, and not only that, he delivered it in person all the way to Birmingham from Yorkshire! He did on the spot adjustment work to the base of my eq6-r (come on we know synta manufacturing can vary a tad !) to make sure it was absolutely snug on my pulsar pier plate . 
Anyway I’m over the moon with my purchase, it’s really going to help me. The help from astro tuff truk doesn’t stop there though, I’ve bought a special cover for it all, and once I’ve sent some measurements they’re going to send me some heavy duty ground pegs too, to help secure it. 
 

all in all, a five star experience. Thank you astro tuff truk!

just an extra update , as mentioned in my previous review I bought a cover for my new pier truk. It’s a Clarke pop up “garage” but came with some not so great anchors. Lee and Matty at Astro Tuff Truk were kind enough to make up some really heavy duty ground pegs for me to anchor it all down. They sent me a diagram of the ideal angle and got these made up and posted to me rapidly. Really cracking service from these guys and I’m happy now that my truck is under cover !
