Default Method of moving gazebo and tables to and from pitch

I am providing a charity stand at the local carnival, to hand out leaflets
and make contact with potential new members.

This will be a gazebo (about 2.5m * 2.5m), a couple of tables, some boxes
of leaflets and some fold up chairs. Oh, and some collecting buckets.

Vehicle access to the area we are setting up in stops at 10:00 and doesn't
resume until 22:00. The event is for 2 days.

I don't have cover for all this period from volunteers to be at the stand,
so I may have to arrange to remove all the bits to safety without using a
vehicle.

I am now trying to think up a design for some kind of trolley (possibly
based on wheels fixed to folded tables) which could carry the rest.

Something like http://www.big-wheelbarrows.co.uk/5-
flatbed_turntable_truck_ht1101.htm would do the job, but at around £450
this is way over budget and also it is a big item to transport and store
to/from the parking near the site.

What I think I need is an axle and two wheels on a board which I can strap
to a table - need two to go front and back. It would be good if the front
axle was steerable.

The table then forms the bed of the truck and I tie the rest of the stuff
on top.
Much like a soap box cart but with the body made from the table.

At one time I would think of scavenging a large wheel pram for the bits
but these are now collectors items rather than junk shop items.

Can anyone help me with a search term to find suitable (inexpensive) bits?

Thanks

Dave R
