Dan:

I'd try and buy one from either a U-haul or other truck rental outfit.  WE
used to have some that were really heavy duty with tracks that were probably
an inch wide.  They also had a roll of cargo strap with a leaver type
arrangement that allowed you to secure your load.  The foot or plate where
an appliance would rest wasn't all that deep on the ones we had though, so
you would likely want to use a trash barrel or something like that to
actually hold your bags of cement.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Stair climbing handtrucks.

 

Does anyone know of a really good stair climbing dolly / handtruck? I 
don't want one with crappy plastic skids on the back. I saw one that had 
two half inch wide rubber belts on the back that looped over a 
non-rotating pulley thing. That looked pretty useless as well.

I mean, a stair climber with treads on the back. Possibly treads that 
maybe fold out a bit so that you don't have to lay the whole thing flat 
down on the stairs and then double yourself in half to try and grab the 
handle which is now on the steps. I am looking at www.handtrucks.com but 
the descriptions don't seem to be helping me.

Just wondering if anyone knows something.

Thanks.
