Sack Truck/Trolley

[Bensonrad]

Looking to buy one of these today, going to have to go for a heavy duty weight one, as Outrun, Outrunners & Paperboy are not light beasts. I think I will be going for one with the P bar handle on the back, but the foot plate size is my main concern, the ones I can find seem to be around 19/20cm in depth, is that big enough for a cab? I don't really want to spend more than £30. Any ideas or recommendations? what do you use?
Cheers
Ben

I use one of these, as recommended by Martin the Deliveryman so can't be bad.
I've moved all sorts with it no probs, including my OutRun.

Cheers, How big is the baseplate depth wise on that one dude?

I use one of these:

Easy to store behind the cabs when not in use and more manouverable as you can turn the whole cab around...

I'm not sure, I'd have to check when I get home.

That flat platform looks like exactly what I was after for my workshop to make it easy to work on cabs. Been thinking for ages it would be a damn sight easier if I could spin them on the spot when cleaning and doing artwork stuff

Martin2084 how do you get cabs on it? I am not sure that would be good for getting things across my lawn though and round the house.

Umm, not good on Lawns it would dig in to the ground, great for moving round the house and through doorways as nothing on it catches

with regard to getting the cabs on I simply tilt the cab, slide in underneath and then tilt the cab back onto it, a bit of practice and I have it off to a fine art now
