Flight line operations cart, trailer or what have you.

Our gliding club operates from 6 different launch points on 3 different runways and utilizes a small cart to carry everything we need for our operation. It is a plywood box structure mounted on a small metal frame with a trailer hitch to be towed by our retrieve quad.
While it is OK and has served us for many years, we would like to make some changes and would like to hear from others what they might use, pictures would be most welcome.
Cheers

Golf carts are good for running around the field, but the battery and controller take a toll because of overheating because of pulling a glider. Gas carts are a different animal and can stand the the wear and tear with little loss of power from pulling. I have a Kawasaki Mule that I sometimes take to the gliderport, it works well and you can load the bed with all kind of items.
