Hi Dan,
I would recommend finding something like this heavy duty hauler.
http://www.handtrucksrus.com/NewMilwaukee.aspx?id=81&mil=47180
Convertible to 4 wheel use. Probably the last one you'd ever need to
purchase. The larger the second set of wheels are the better it will ride
over those obstacles with a heavy load. I cut a piece of 3/4 inch plywood to
put down as a platform so that my boxes don't shift as much when I have
several loaded on board.
I've looked at Sam's Club and Costco's websites and theirs can't compete
with this heavy duty dolly for the price. Plus free shipping.

I need an art fair dolly.
Can anyone suggest a good/cheap product. One that can be a hand truck
or a four wheeler.
Links?
Many thanks,
Dan Saultman

Best one I've found is at Sam's. It was about $75, large pneumatic tires,
breaks down to a four wheeler with a touch of one button and makes it
possible to cut the transport time in half.

Dale:
Agreed, that is one sweet hand truck, for a reasonable price.
However...
do you _really_ want to schlep 600 pounds around at one time?
Too darn hard to control a load like that. Especially as one (ahem)
"ages gracefully".
I also own one of similar heft. As time goes by, I find myself putting
less and less on it.
And moving slower and slower. Pretty soon, I think I'm going to find
myself standing still, empty.
Best,
Wayne Seidl

Hi Wayne,
the loads on the handtruck may not be exactly 600 lbs anymore, but I make
less trips back and forth from the truck to the booth on those indoor
events. The heavy duty hand truck is really handy moving boxes of clay too.
Like the 1000 lbs from the Austin- Armadillo Clay run this morning. What I
do find however is after stopping halfway back in San Marcos, eating a Chili
Relleno at Herbert's Taco Hut for lunch, I need a siesta before unloading
the truck!
Adios!,
