So what’s been happening at pancake wheel LLC in the  last year and a half? A lot actually. First, our designers are working hard to  redesign the pancake wheel folding wagon which has previously been offered in  several different variations: plastic and metal.  Rick Shapiro has been designing the new  wagon for over a year, incorporating consumer ideas and feedback into the new wagon design.

The new version we are planning to launch is a plastic 
wagon, with a new and improved folding wheel system that
is sleeker and lighter  than the previous version.  The 
versatile new wagon product will offer various options allowing the product to 
hold accessories and a storage shelf.  We hope to show images of the new design in 2014 and announce where it can be purchased.

Also, Pancake Wheel signed a design and development patent agreement with Big Max Golf and began developing a baby stroller with unique fold flat attributes, planned for launch in 2015.

A number of sports coaches have emailed or called to ask about the Pancake folding wagon details lik:  how much does it hold? Can I use bungi cords? Exactly how wide and long it it?  I provide the answers and we have a number of happy volunteer sports coaches using what we believe is the best folding wagon for them.  The pictures with this blog were recently sent to us by a sports coach, and look at how much equipment and gear he gets in it?  Pretty cool.  We make sure that the top edges are level all around to accomodate different size stuff that might not best best to orient all inside the wagon.
If you are a sports coach-please check us out!  If you have bought the pancake folding wagon, please send us your favorite "pack mule" type pictures and perhaps we can post them here too.

Just entering some notes about some pictures I received from a consumer who recently purchased the pancake flat wagon. We are always excited to get pictures showing the different uses consumers use our pancake flat folding wagon for. We maintain the privacy of our customers, but as you can see in the pictures this gentleman told me that he uses an elevator at times and was looking for a small easy to use folding wagon.

He thought that a solid metal folding wagon has advantages over the fabric type of folding wagon which is also popular. We produced a YouTube video comparing the pancake flat wagon to a typical fabric style folding wagon and I am sure many consumers understand the strengths and weaknesses. One good thing about our folding wagon is that you can place the items either inside the profile of the wagon or right on top of the metal walls if you have bulky cargo.

The man who purchased our pancake flat wagon shown in these pictures told me that he really likes the fact that the handle will hold in various positions without falling to the ground. He said he didn't even realize that was one of the unique features until he bought the wagon.

Actually, I am the inventor of this new type of wagon handle that has multiple hold positions and mounts right in the end wall of the wagon. I have also licensed this particular multiple hold position wagon handle to major companies like Radio Flyer wagons as well.

I pay careful attention to every consumer's comments being the inventor and designer of this world's thinnest folding wagon design. Currently I am working on a new plastic version of the pancake flat wagon which has similar features to our blue metal version, but there are a lot of different details that must be worked out.
