Garbolino Trolley Handle (Pair)
Transform your seatbox into a precision-engineered barrow system with the Garbolino Trolley Handle (Pair). At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that the trek to a distant peg can feel like a mountain expedition when you’re lugging a fully loaded station, bait, and luggage. These handles are the essential “front-end” component of the Garbolino transport system, providing the leverage and control needed to navigate the trickiest bankside paths with ease.
Designed specifically to integrate with the GBC (Garbolino Box Component) chassis, these handles are built for maximum durability and ergonomic comfort. Sold as a pair, they attach securely to your seatbox legs—typically the front pair—turning your station into a balanced, easy-to-maneuver trolley. The handles feature high-grip, soft-touch covers that ensure your hands don’t slip, even in the driving rain or when wearing gloves during winter sessions.
By moving the weight of the box onto a wheel kit (sold separately) and using these handles to steer, you take the strain off your lower back and shoulders. Whether you’re a match pro with a mountain of gear or a weekend angler who values efficiency, these handles are a game-changer for peg accessibility.

Where to Use
-
Long-Distance “Yomps”: Perfect for those venues where the car park is half a mile from the water’s edge. These handles give you the steering precision to weave through narrow gates and around obstacles.
-
Muddy and Uneven Banks: The length of the handles provides excellent leverage, making it much easier to pull your box through thick mud or over rocky terrain compared to traditional “push” barrows.
-
Steep Gradients: When navigating steep ramps or canal slopes, having two dedicated handles allows for a two-handed grip, giving you total control over the descent and ascent.
-
Optimized Loading: Use them to secure your rod holdall and carryalls on top of the seatbox; the handles act as a natural “front wall” to keep your luggage from sliding off during transit.
Pro Tip
Gerry’s Pro Tip: When fitting these handles, position them at a height that allows your arms to be slightly bent while standing upright. This is the most ergonomic position and prevents back strain. For a rock-solid setup, ensure the handles are angled slightly outward; this gives you a wider “steering rack,” making the box feel much more stable and less likely to tip on uneven ground.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will these fit 25mm or 30mm legs?
These handles are primarily designed for the 36mm legs found on the Garbolino Gold and GBC ranges. While they can sometimes be used with inserts for smaller legs, we recommend using them with 36mm legs for the absolute best stability, as the leverage exerted on the handles is significant.
Do I need a specific wheel kit to use these?
While these handles can be used as general “lifting” aids, they are designed to work perfectly with the Garbolino Rear Wheel Kit. Together, they turn your seatbox into a balanced two-wheeled barrow.
Are the handles easy to remove when I reach my peg?
Yes. The secure-lock thumb screws are designed for quick release. You can pop the handles off in seconds and store them under your side tray or in your carryall, ensuring they don’t get in the way while you’re fishing.
Will the grips perish in the sun?
The grips are made from a high-grade, UV-stabilized material designed for outdoor use. They won’t become “sticky” or crumble over time, even after prolonged exposure to the elements during a busy summer season.
