The porterlite model is the most compact in their current range of barrows

I think you'll be, as said, looking at the Porterlite.
Is it going to be kept assembled or taken apart?
I've got the original, and it takes no more than 5 minutes to put up anyway. I keep mine folded down in the back of my car 'just in case'.
Quick assembly guide, but it is self explanatory:
Base fold out legs, and attach wheel, put upright, attach handles, and sorted.
It is really that easy.
If you mail order Johnson Ross were showing stock at £159.99

It'll end up being kept down. It doesn't have to be a carp ported, any small barrow will do whatever the make. Always carried my gear as have got a small scope setup and cut everything down when i went days only. However just joined a new day only lake and the furthest walk is 25 minutes from the van, really don't fancy that each way when carrying even a light day only set up.

The lightest most compact barrow I have seen (and use) is the Porterlite2 .... Great barrow
If you want some even more compact and that folds pretty flat then NGT Dynamic Fishing Trolley can carry a light session kit - I use this sometimes on the river

Funnily enough the NGT trolley is one i'm looking at. I like the idea of the folding flat and literally just being set up in seconds. How do you find it?

Although the handles were too short for my liking and ended up selling i loved the practibility of the Fox Explorer, take the bag out and it folds flat.

Its pretty good, stable and can hold a deceptable amount of kit. Its not as easy to use as the Porterlite2 but in terms of folding up and down it works well

My Porterlite stays in my car. If I'm unable to unload behind my swim on any water, I need to barrow my gear as I am waiting for hip replacement, and I can't carry anything much at the moment.
I use it for my pike rods, brolly and pike kit bag through to all my carp fishing stuff.

Cygnet sniper is even more compact than my porterlite, great little barrow for the money

Sniper looks good-let down by bag having no lid though.
The most compact if you can get one is a Daiwa folding infinity or chub transporter- concertina fold away. Really handy.

i have a porter lite, lives in the boot of my car with bed/unhooking mat, water butt and bucket. the wheel is the most awkward bit to fit in, but all goes in with space for other various bits and bobs.
if i did have to replace, the only other one i think i would look at is the cygnet (i dont use an underbarrow bag on the porterlite - i just dont go for longer than 48 hours so no need.
