We must all be aware by now that lifting and shifting heavy weights can cause untold damage to backs when they are not lifted properly. Many a person has been caught out even when they know full well how something should be lifted or carried. To stop anything like this from happening, even to the fittest members of society, using a hand cart will probable save a lot of distress? Indeed, hand carts have really blossomed in the last few years with models coming in all different sizes to suit the purpose.

For example, anyone who has a large garden will know what it is like when the time for pruning and tidying up rolls around. Some trees may have to have some branches lopped off, or some bushes may have to be thinned out to acceptable standards. But it is what happens to this debris afterwards that causes the problems.

Since some zones have now become smoke free areas, we can no longer burn what we cut down. This means then that this rubbish has to be transported to the local dump site which could be just a few blocks away. In the past we would often have to hire someone to come and do this for us but if we had a handy trolley around then this would not be the case.

The four-wheeled versions have sturdy beds and handles which allow for up to four hundred pound pay loads. This should be more than enough for any garden refuse and the whole thing can be pushed along by even the weakest of people. But the action does not stop there.

By having one or two of these great little machines around, even the family shop is made much easier. Everyone knows how heavy frozen goods can be, particularly when we are stocking up for the holiday season. People these days tend to have extra freezers in the garage and they take an inordinate amount of food to fill up. But by using these trolleys, the load is diminished greatly and even mom can do this by herself.

Then, because of our greatly increased leisure time, boats and getaway cabins have to be stocked up too. These trolleys, in all different sizes, can be used just about anywhere. Even the kids have had their own versions for decades so this is just an extension of the Radio Flyer versions from way back when.

Because of their lightweight tubular design, they do not really add to the load at all. Some styles are made to fold up so that they can be stacked or hung on a garage wall when not in use. But probably the people who are most grateful for these pieces of equipment is the erstwhile office worker who is often asked to transport boxes and files all over a building.

Whereas before these boxes had to be humped around physically, nowadays, and with the help of this great machine, the workload is made much lighter and the office worker can remain fresh and clean without straining at all.
