source for extra wide hand truck??
I am in need of a hand truck of 36" width at a reasonable price. It needn't
be super heavy duty, like the expensive ones I keep running into at this width, but like normal 500-600 lb. capacity models, except 36" width, and with pneumatic air filled tires. Can anyone suggest a source for these or, as a last resort, plans for constructing one out of treated wood? I'd rather find a source if possible. Local DIY stores don't seem to have them and web sources found so far have been quite expensive. Thanks, Jim Booth |

I would consider modifying one of the import versions from Harbor Freight, Sam's Club, etc. You could just bolt or weld on some steel sheet to the tongue if you don't need the wheelbase to be any wider. |

Here's a 22" one cheap: http://www.cumminstools.com/browse.cfm/4,1155.html Maybe they come wider. Google is your friend. |

Two of normal size and 5 minutes of welding should net you a wide one with 4 wheels (2 outside, two in the middle). Or you could take off the inside wheels and have spares. -- Cats, Coffee, Chocolate...vices to live by |
