It does look good !
and sorting the handle problem making it wider and all the other mods looks like a real winner
too me
I am a big fan I have the original deluxe and after sorting the handle love it for fishing off the barrow so much I bought the Global Angling power conversion and rear wheels
and its better IMO than my previous Carp porter power porter
If !!!! my conversion kit had been compatible with the new Transporter I would have changed in the blink of an eye

I thought the company who do the conversion kits can send you a modification so it will fit.Im sure I read it on here that they had done it for someone

No idea on the size, I was looking at one for the same reason as you. Even contacted Fox customer support about the dimensions and they have ignored me.
Brought a Nash Trax Evo instead

If it is truly an “upgrade” from the explorer it will be a great barrow .
As mentioned , some dimensions might help put it into perspective

The Fox Transporter Barrow is my first barrow - so I've not got personal experience to compare, but I do absolutely love it so far. Tremendous piece of kit.
Seems very strong, and the pockets are excellent in build.
I'm a fan of the buckets, and the barrow houses two of these at the front. (note it is the 10L not the 17L they house).
Fishing off the barrow feels a great way to fish.
I see there are a few posts looking for the dimensions, I bought mine around three months ago, and found them on one of the sites.
Any other reviews so far?

Was humming and harring which to get ref the new explorer and old, saving best part of 50 notes for old as only a short arse, the new handles won't benefit in terms of bending over for the taller generation.
So around £209 then for an additional £24 could get the Transporter on a deal? A little more storage & size & bucket carrying too.. I guess weight does not matter so much as goes in the boot & packs similar

There is a much better wheel on the Transporter compared to the Explorer, I have heads of quite a few of those going pop
I have the transporter but will probably swap it for a solid wheel at some point so maybe not an issue if you would do that on the explorer anyway

The tyre on my Transporter went pop! Had a few Triporter wheels knocking about and they fit perfectly. Otherwise, it's a decent barrow with decent capacity and doesn't weight a tonne.

Are the triporter wheels puncture proof/solid ones?
I have a walsall universal yellow one to fit at some point, I know it fits the explorer - and hopefully the transporter as well!

No mate, it's inflatable. Seems OK so far.
