Look at medium-/heavy-duty luggage carts for luggage going on airplanes.
I've moved incredible loads -- like a half-dozen full-tower desktops _and_
a 20" CRT in one trip -- on a good _medium-duty_ one (similar to a "Clipper
200"). If I were buying one today, I'd look hard at a Clipper 450, or, if
I could justify the money, a Clipper 730, for the folding 'shelf' cum work-
surface.
Wesco and Kart-A-Bag are good brands too. You probably wont go far wrong
with any such in the (circa) $60 and up price range. double-check the wheel-
size (5" min, 6" better) though. They all go better over elevator gaps if
you pull rathe than push 'em. :)
see <http://www.handtrucks.com/hand-trucks/folding-hand-trucks/4567+1579+2524.cfm>
for lot of possibilities
Note: I have no experience with that vendor, google images search led me to them.
