make it tall enough so you can comfortably work on the ski while its on the stand. Some totes are too low.
Beach cart users, would like your opinions.

my buddy had his joints on his work stand separate/break and the ski fell on an elbow and it punched a perfect round hole in his ski...
that ruined his day

I have "C" and think it is the the best thing since sliced bread. I paid $100 for it to see if I would use it and now I would buy another reguardless of the cost. It sits low to the ground so that picking a ski off of the beach is easy. And it must have a winch to pick a ski off of the gound after you are wore out. The tongue is long enough that you can ballance a sitdown on ther if you need to. The only problem with mine is someone borrowed it at Lanier and loaded a blsater on it and slid it all the way to the front. Only 2 or 3 inches was hanging off of the back and it bent the tongue when they bounced it over the railroad ties heading down to the water.
I have worked off of mine many times and for engine work it is fine but you wouldn't want to do a turf job on the tote. The bottom of my ski is about 1 inch above the tires.
Your picture "B" turned up side down and the wheels on the other side would be about the same as "C" Just make a Y out of the ladder and put a handle on there with a winch.

with a winch on it - I can load the ski from the sand to the cart by myself.
doesn't sound like that big ofa deal - but most of the time, I ride solo - so I think it's a required feature.

i disagree about the "no need for a winch"
after 4-5 hours of riding...there's no way in hell I have the engery to just drag my ski up on the stand.......
I like the design of A the best...the tiger tote..
I have a KG tote...you do NOT have that one pictured.......

No it doesn't need any more crossmembers. I have had one for over 10 years and its still going. the only thing showing wear is the aluminum axle and plastic wheels.

FWIW: There is a new tote out there made by "Factory Zero" (Jap made). HotProducts offers it but they were on long backorder when I called. The Factory Zero and TBM units are all based off the original Big-Foot "Tigertote" (picture A in first post). However, what I really liked about the Big-Foot was the rails use large diameter round tubing and is more gentle on the hull (unlike the square type).
After much searching, I bought the one pictured in photo "A" - picture is of my actual tote :biggrin:
Here is the Factory Zero unit:
