Golfted GT-FR: foldable steel remote, 12.5 kg

Steel frame, folding design

Stainless steel resists corrosion and keeps its finish in wet weather, which suits year round British golf. The foldable style is the point of this model: Golfted's GT-R is the rigid steel version, so the GT-FR is the one to choose if your boot is shared with a pushchair or shopping.

Weight and size

The listing gives 12.5 kg alongside product dimensions of 62 x 15 x 15 cm, which seem too small to be the folded size, so treat them with caution. At 12.5 kg it is heavier than the aluminium GT-AR, listed at 10.5 kg.

If you lift the trolley alone, ask the seller whether 12.5 kg includes the battery, as that changes the real lift.

Battery and remote

A lithium-ion battery is included, and the trolley is remote controlled. The listing does not give the number of holes per charge, motor power or whether downhill control is fitted. Those are important for a hilly course, so confirm them with the seller.

Accessories

The twelve item pack covers a stainless steel umbrella holder and scorecard holder, a bottle holder, a caddy notebook, a one size glove, a transport bag, a divot tool, a stainless marker, a neoprene phone bag, a phone holder, a towel and a bottle that shows the drink temperature. That is a full kit for a new trolley owner.

A transport bag is especially useful with a folding frame, because it keeps a wet trolley from marking the boot lining on the way home.

Against the other Golfted models

The Golfted GT-R in rigid stainless steel lists downhill control and a 27 to 36 hole battery. The Golfted GT-AR saves weight with aluminium. The GT-FR sits between them: steel finish, folding frame, but the thinnest technical detail of the three.
