A very silly question

A Sack-truck.

A company called Partington Engineering (a friend of mine runs it) does all sorts of different ones, including some suited to going up and down stairs.

Sack truck / machine mart

Hand trolly,go into an Aldi or Lidl store they may still have one on offer? very cheap as well. Otherwise try

sack truck I think. Try a hire shop?

Usually a sack truck. But I got one called a "sack trolley", and it could be used on it's two wheels eg. for moving a fridge, and also flat as a trolley, by means of two extra wheels on the vertical section. Very useful and versatile. Simon.

much appreciated!

Sack barrow?

Highly recommended firm BTW. If you want industrial strength shelving and stuff at sane prices. Not always beautiful, but built like a brick shithouse.

Quite dear actually,for instance the telescopic ally folding truck is

I bought one from Lidl/Aldi/Netto (can't remember which) last time they had them. Absolutely s**te for anything heavy as the footplate is too thin.

Probably a better bet.

I use a skateboard for this kind of thing. Ask the neighbours kids?

There's knowing how to use it and how not to use it?

The foot plate is not there to carry the weight,thats what the back rail is for. Moved washing machines sacks of rubble ect and still in good use.

I have a blue folding hand truck from Machine Mart, it's very well built and has large pneumatic tyres for crossing rough ground.

WE also have a small platform truck which looks similar to those sold at Aldi/Lidl but there's a huge difference in construction. The one we got cost £15 but can move a quarter tonne and has sturdy wheels and deck. I wouldn't try to move 100kg on the Aldi version. Same size, smaller wheels, thin wall tube and very thin load plate.

It has to take some proportion of the weight, that's what it's there for. Otherwise, the load will just slide off the bottom.

I think yu will p[trobably find its aples and oranges.

I have had 'shed' stuff collapse under its own weight practically. Not rapid racking. If they say it will do 100kg, you can bet your life it will do 200.

Nope,its there for guiding/sliding in under the load which when fully inserted, the load is then tilted with unison of trolly and load so as to put all the strain on the back rail of trolly.

Screwfix have a whold plethora!!

I have the =A326 one and it can take 3X2 ft pavers, they aint light!!!

The message from Rexx Magnus contains these words:

Or sometimes sackbarrow.
