Move-it is a compact, self-assembly carriage system for boxes of up to 20Kg, which is made entirely of cardboard.
It is fully recyclable, lightweight and consists of a set of two wheels and two different types of adjustable handle. A combination of these components allows the user to move boxes of almost any size and shape.
Ideally the system will be available for a nominal price, in large shops such as Ikea, where customers who had not bargained for the weight or awkwardness of their purchases could utilise the system to ease their journey home.
Once home the system can be disposed of by being recycled with the cardboard box, saved with the box for future trips or, re-used on another box (conditions permitting). The system is designed for – and can withstand – a typical trip across London on Public Transport, and can even cope with rain and wet pavements.
What makes Move-it truly unique is that every single part is cardboard. Wheel, axle, chassis and handle can all be mashed up at the recycling facility and made into new cardboard products. Even the special, repulpable contact adhesive that sticks the wheels and handle to the box is designed to disperse harmlessly in water.
