Sounds an interesting project, good luck with it and it hope it works out.
I have been considering converting my JRC Contact barrow using the kit from BCUK however by the time I've spent £450/£500 doing so I could buy a Nash power barrow off the shelf for around £700 and sell my JRC on.
Tonight BCUK have announced they have their own power barrows and and I really like the ED1+ model, just wondering if it's really worth the £950? Is it going to be £200 better than the Nash equivalent?

Cheers for the link, I had looked after seeing other mentioning them.
Can I ask why you say they are better? I have no experience with either company so merely curiosity, BCUK stuff does look the part from what I'm seeing online, they are going to be at the Northern Carp show this weekend and I considered going just to see their work in person.

OK since you asked
for a start Global Angling started it over 10 years ago !!
so clearly they have learnt over the years the best parts to use also the delivery times are only a couple of weeks you get INSTANT support if you need it and no broken promises and they dont ignore their customers
there are a couple of copy company`s Carpy Carz and BCUK Global dont need to have lots of adverts they sell on Reputation and can DELIVER quality goods with unrivaled support

Thanks for clearing that up, I had since asking the question found a few negative comments regarding delivery times and customer service.
I've also contacted Global reference a couple of questions for my particular barrow.
Thanks 👍🏻

Your wrong there Gerry .
The components on the Barrow Conversion are alot better than the ones supplied by Global.
The only dis advantage I'd the lead time with Barrow Conversions which is around 8-12 weeks.

Gerry - Just because a company has been going for 10 years (with no competition for most)doesn't mean they have a better product .

Mmmm
your are of course entitled your OPINION as THATS all it is
as I am
and my Global and my pals that made me buy it is of the very best is top quality
Im quite sure BOTH Carpy Cartz and BarrowConversions make good kits but I will stick with the company that delivers a product with instant support if and when needed with no broken promises etc

well its a bit obvious to me at least
? if they have been building and selling kits for 10 years they would of learnt whats good and bad and whats reliable
or they would of been out of business by now
so I guess we will agree to disagree

I think Global are a cult - and I am fully signed up.
I wanted recommendations and friends and social said global - 10 mins on the phone to them tells you what a quality company you are dealing with no sales just answers to queries.
The others may be good - but I now know around 7 or 8 that have global and not one moan - and if they did they would be comfortable with sharing it directly not over social media. Proper old school quality product - old school as in pick up the phone

But your opinion always seems to be the only one.
You stated Global ere the better company, have you actually had both barrows side by side?
This weekend I was on my syndicate and saw both side by side, the electrical connectors on my barrow conversions kit are a lot better and more robust that the Global.
There's a reason why one has kits ready to dispatch and the other has a 8-12 week lead time.
I placed an order this morning, Global was cheaper and could be delivered within a week, as I've seen both barrows side by side I opted for the more quality made kit with the longer lead time.

GLOBAL have optional connectors for that people who like to not just wheel it in the back of the van and want a more metal robust connector a simple phone call to a company that values its customers and picks the phone up !
and no mine is not the only opinion but I dont GOBB OFF saying things are facts when they are just an opinion either !!
as Stated all THREE COMPANYS make good conversion kits Global Angling and Carpy Cartz and BCUK
BUT !
There can only be one Highlander best company IMHO

Good God Gerry give it a rest ! One minute your telling the forum that they mainly use kits from "Ali express" then the next breath they use the best parts available .Your constant your opinion is always the best gets verrrrrrrrrrrrry boring .
