Huh?

The base plate will be taking at least half the load and probably
more in most situations. Just think through the physics for a bit!
If you are carrying something that is not rigid the situation only
gets worse!


MrRumm, you will be aware that the bottom of a washing machine does
not contain a flat area so therefore the bottom corner of a washing
machine will be resting on the backrail of the trolly along with the
side of the machine,the back edge of the footplate will stop the
machine from dropping down but plays no use in supporting the weight.

So your theory holds for one very specific example. In the general
case you are, as I and others have pointed out, totally wrong.

No it holds for many other objects.

Lets face it if you and MrKing had your trollys only days before wrecking
them then it was down to user error.

Did I say I wrecked a trolley? I know enough physics to know you are
wrong without even owning a trolley. Read John Rumms reply for a better
explanation.
