Got a nice cart this week. It's called MagnaCart Personal Hand Truck. It folds flat, and would fit in a pizza box and holds 150 lbs (i.e. 10 Brinks Boxes). I paid $23.88 at Sams Club. I wheeled it 1/2 mile thru our office where we have a credit union with several boxes of pennies on it. I have to walk 1/2 mile from my cubicle to the credit union. It worked perfect on our carpeted floors. It's lightweight but also sturdy. I'd recommend it to anyone except HCBTT, as he would want something that held more than 10 Brinks boxes. Here's a link to the actual product.
I have one! You know I have more than one of everything.. LOL! It is a fantastic little cart for "small" loads. I think I paid $30 for it at OSH when they had one of their monthly no sales tax sales. It is a sweet little cart.. extremely well designed. This is the cart I used when I had to deliver 8 boxes of pennies to BofA. They were used to seeing me bring in my 660 pound capacity dolly all the time. I told them "I use the small cart for small loads." I saw the perfect cart for me at Costco last weekend. It had 6" tires and the flat surface looked like 3/4" aluminum plate. Looked extremely sturdy. There was no price tag on it. I was almost afraid to ask how much. I think it's gonna cost a few pennies.

Oh yeah, people steal those things they are always at the skate park. They are really fun to skate on but who ever steals it gets in a lot of trouble, because there is always a cop down there.
The disadvantage of that type of truck is that you have to push the handle almost all the way to the floor to get the load to balance. It's very difficult to walk in that position, and impossible to move it any other way. It might work to use a crate to raise the load so it would balance at a more reasonable angle, but I haven't tried that yet.
A penny sorted is a penny earned!

I think the leverage works better the lower to the ground your load is. I used a paper box to put the Brinks boxes in. It worked just fine for me. The longer your lever the light the load.
