Collapsible Handtruck... plan to use it to haul all my truggy gear.
I'm tired of carrying gear to and from the track, so I bought this jumpo collapsible handtruck from redbirdhandtrucks.com. Here's a few pics. This is everything except table, tent and truggy. I'm sure I can get my truggy on there too with bungee cords. I also plan to buy a roomier and more square shaped tote than the one pictured here [on the bottom]. I'll post follow up pics of the final results. Nonetheless, the nose plate is 23 x 15, so everything pictured stays put, regardless. The truck handle is adjustable and the rear handles are collapsible. The best part is that this handtruck fits in my car or trunk.
Note: I should add that the "Rock N Roller Equipment Multi Cart" appears to be a better solution if you have a truck or trailer. Redbird sells it too or google it for the best price. I didn't go with it b/c it doesn't fully collapse like the jumbo handtruck.

Looks nice but really need a version with bigger/better tires for tracks without paved lots.

Again, an alternative would be the " Rock n' Roller " collapsible cart as previously mentioned. They have many different models, but I've accessed that [for me] the "R8" model is the best of the bunch. I would've went with it, but the wheels do not collapse, so it's a bit too bulky to fit in my car or trunk with my gear..
Here's the best option for collapsible hand trucks. This one has pneumatic wheels: http://www.handtrucks.com/hand-truck...over&tid=broad It's exactly like the one I have. Unfortunately it's $250.00. The one I have was $134.00 [shipped]. The track will tell, however, if necessary, maybe I can pimp it out with pneumatic wheels as money and time allows (?)
Anyway, at least I no longer have to walk my gear back and forth. It was ridiculous. So much so, I didn't even want to run my truggy b/c I figured I'd wait until I had the handtruck.
Note: I can use it for hauling other stuff as well. I used it to haul my work gear this morning. I plan to use it to haul my next big walmart run [tote and bungee's to contain it all]

$30.00? Please prove it with a link and pic. Also, you stated 150 lb capacity... this one has a 440 lb capacity. Anyway, I posted all this for others that may be searching or shopping for a solution. As far as collapsible handtrucks go, this one is prolly' the best value.
Note: The wheels bolt on and off and I just found reasonable priced replacement pneumatic wheels @ handtrucks.com for $19.99 each http://www.handtrucks.com/hand-truck...wheel.cfm#tabs. So, odds are, if you'd like, you can run 8 or maybe even 10 inch off-road wheels on it. You just have to make sure you get the correct axle size. Keep in mind, pneumatic wheels tend to go flat. So, if the stock semi-pneumatic wheels work, I prolly' won't change them.
