Hand Trucks

For all the guys (and gals) out there who use Hand trucks / trolleys for transporting their Dobs - How big are your ones? How are the wheels, or what mods have you made?

I've been looking on and off at Hand trucks and I measured the ones I found. Officeworks claims to have big ones, but they charge the earth and didn't have them in stock. I looked at the local hardware store near work, and Bunnings.
Nearly all of them have a tray / base depth of ~200mm, most with a width of 350mm. Only the fridge trolley at Bunnings had a depth of about 250-300mm and width of 350-400mm. The wheels weren't the best. The dollys have a base that is wide and long enough, but the long gravity and 4 small solid wheels don't really allow for proper non-flat movement.

I am just wondering because I measured the base of the scope at about 410-450mm square, and was nervous at the overhang, both for stability and moisture on grass or asphalt.

Thanks

Phil
