Probably those who exhibit would be able to address the query: what do you use for handcarts and why?  I have in mind all-terrain four-wheeled carts like this?

I am thinking one would need to consider foldablity so that it can go into a boot/hatchback but what other factors need to be considered?  This is applicable to actual carts and not models!

I am no expert but, doesnt having the controls for steering at one end and the brake at the other mean some weird running around if you stop on a slope?

Thanks for posting.  Good point.  I live in total ignorance and seek enlightenment!  :)

Back when I worked in libraries we used similar trolleys to move heavy stuff around (books, IT kit, disassembled shelving, etc).

Don't remember any problems with steering one end and brakes the other. Mainly because, when they were full, moving them was a two person job.
