Many of us are incapable of heaving around heavy weights from one place to another. In fact, this is the highest cause of muscle strain and disc damage to backs and this should be avoided at all costs. Once the back is injured, it is highly unlikely, that it will ever go back to the way it used to be. To this end then, finding a hand cart to take the strain is probably the best thing to do. Hand carts come in all different sizes, some carrying up to several hundred pounds, so that even larger loads can be moved without too much damage occurring.

Many people these days love to go off on camping or boating trips, but getting all the equipment ready and out to the car or onto the boat, can take an inordinate amount of time, or an inordinate amount of people, to do the shifting. Although we sometimes have available labor around, this is not always so. It may also be that kids are in the party and they surely cannot lift or carry some of the heavier stuff for sure.

To make life easier though, there are several smaller varieties of trolleys which either come in foldable styles, or those which are set on four wheels which are easier to push along. If the load is extremely heavy, perhaps for taking a rejuvenated engine back to the boat, then these trolleys can certainly take up to several hundred pounds of luggage in one go.

This could come in handy for the workplace too since, very often, files or books have to be carried to the storeroom from offices all over the building. This used to be done by sheer man power, but nowadays, life is not that simple. Employees who hurt themselves by having to lift heavy weights have a strong case when it comes to compensation so employers are far more likely to give them this kind of equipment to stop anything untoward from happening.

For garden refuse too, humping great loads of wood and garden debris away from the property should not be attempted in the family vehicle. Scratches and dents would surely follow and this would certainly detract from the value of the car or van. Instead, by buying the ubiquitous trolley, the shifting of this kind of rubbish is not only easier, it is fun too and family members should be only too glad to lend a hand for sure.

Overall, there is one trolley which should suit each individual situation for sure. Whether it is the two-wheeled tilt and pull variety, or the four-wheeled heavier kind, people can pick and choose the gadget that will most suit their needs. Most people will choose several so that all the members of the family can lend a hand when things need to be shifted. Of course, grandma can always use the smaller ones to do her own shopping too and this keeps her independent from the family which is what many older folks like to do anyway.
