DigitalFoto TITAN-LITE Cart Introduced – 220kg Payload, Steel Construction, 33kg Total Weight

September 14th, 2026Jump to Comment Section

DigitalFoto used IBC 2026 to show the TITAN-LITE, a second production cart that sits below the 300kg (661 lb) Titan cart with a 220kg (485 lb) payload rating, a steel frame instead of aluminum, and a base price of around €650. We spoke to Malcolm Modele at the DigitalFoto booth about why the company built a cheaper cart, what the base package includes, and where the extra weight comes from.

Production carts are one of the few categories where the entry price has stayed stubbornly high. Malcolm put the cost of a comparable rigged system at several thousand euros before accessories, which is money someone starting out in the industry does not have available for a trolley. DigitalFoto has been chipping away at that with its carts, which we covered when the company introduced its production carts, and the TITAN-LITE takes the idea further down the price list.

Why a second, cheaper cart

The TITAN-LITE came out of feedback on the 300kg (661 lb) Titan cart. Malcolm said they’d gotten a lot of feedback about “people saying they weren’t running 300 kilos and really heavy systems and they wanted something a bit more lighter and nimble.” The answer was a 220kg (485 lb) payload rating and a steel frame instead of aluminum, which brings the price down and allows magnetic accessories to attach around the outside of the frame. The trade-off is weight.

Total weight and transport

The TITAN-LITE weighs 33kg (73 lb) in its base configuration, which makes it heavier than the cart it sits under. Malcolm put the original Titan cart at roughly 29 to 30kg (64 to 66 lb), so the lighter-sounding name refers to the payload rating and the price rather than the cart itself.

Malcolm was straightforward about how much that matters in practice. “You’re not going to be lifting it or carrying it in and out of a vehicle,” he said, beyond loading it for transport, and moving it around set is where a cart spends most of its working life. His view is that a couple of extra kilograms are worth accepting to keep the cost down. He did recommend a second pair of hands for loading a system of this size into a vehicle, though a single operator can manage it.

Transport itself has not changed. Like the rest of the range, the TITAN-LITE folds down and stores its own components inside the collapsed frame, so it goes into a car as one package rather than a cart plus a box of loose parts.

What the base package includes

The base package covers the cart itself, the handle, and the four caster wheels. Everything else visible on the booth demonstration unit is an optional extra, including the cheese plates fitted along the sides.

That said, the accessory list is long. Malcolm listed monitor mounts, extension poles, cable hooks, C-stand hooks, tripod racks, and tables, and the DigitalFoto store already lists TITAN-LITE specific parts such as an extension plate and a cup holder alongside them. There is no dedicated umbrella in the accessory catalog, but a standard parasol can be mounted to the frame to provide shade or rain cover on location.

Wheels are shared across the range

The TITAN-LITE ships with smaller casters than the flagship Titan cart, which runs 8 in wheels. The mounting plates that connect the wheels to the frame are identical across DigitalFoto’s carts, so the larger wheels can be fitted to the TITAN-LITE without modification. Malcolm suggested contacting the company directly to arrange that, and it’s the obvious upgrade for anyone working on rough ground, gravel, or forest tracks where small casters stop being useful very quickly.

That shared hardware also matters for anyone already running a Titan cart, since spare wheels and plates carry over rather than becoming model-specific.

Price and availability

Malcolm quoted around €650 for the TITAN-LITE base package at the show, with accessories priced separately. Shipping is the usual question with a cart this size coming out of China, and the answer is that DigitalFoto runs regional suppliers rather than sending everything direct. Malcolm recommended contacting the company or checking the website to find the right route depending on where you are buying from. The cart is available to order now.

Is €650 the point where a proper production cart finally makes sense for your kit, or would you still rather carry cases? Let us know in the comments below!
