Looking for a good quality hand truck

[bigtiller]

I bought this 1000 pound model from Home Depot. I tried to move my 600 pound ballast box and the only thing that moved was plate at the bottom. I straightened it out with a BFH and it has moved everything else I needed moved. I use my pallet forks for the heavy stuff now.

I'm looking for a quality and heavy duty hand truck for general use around the place. It must have flat free tires, no plastic rims and preferably larger tires that can roll on dirt or gravel. Probably about 500 lbs max carried weight, but almost always less, and able to do it without breaking on a rough surface.

Any ideas where to get such a beast? HF stuff is not up to par and Grainger is very expensive.

Princess Auto here has these units, maybe you can find them in the USA also. I've seen them in the local store and they are beasts. If I needed a hand truck for outdoor use I wouldn't hesitate to buy one. (Specs here)

I bought the HF 700 lb. bigfoot hand truck about 7 years ago. It has been a great truck for the price. Regular $49.99 but I got it for much less when it was on sale plus I used a 20% off coupon. I have had over 700 lb. on it a few times. It shows no signs toward failure. You could probably fill the tires to be flat free or replace them with HF flat free wheels and tires.
