I need to buy a Platform for a trip to Ireland and would like advice on which one to go for.

I'm also thinking of buying the new style RIVE seatbox so the platform will need to take the seatbox and me I'm not a lightweight.

dick clegg do a barrow/platform which take the Rive boxes . These are made from 1x1 alu and are mega strong , got 6 legs and adjust/slide down to half their size to get them in the car , the only drawback is the cost which was £180 when i got mine 2 years ago , but the best ain't cheap . Bang on for Ireland

The Penrose for me, well sturdy.

yeah, i've got the penrose sxl. Not used it yet as i have just bought it for ireland, but with my space station on and me, it is very sturdy. If the paint does come off then i will re-paint it.
For £114 you get the platform/ barrow and some extras like pole hooks, brolley clamp, etc. Delivered in two days.
