Help with the name of this thing

MrsBartolozzi

I am trying to find out the name of this thing I have in mind. It's a kind of trolley thing with two wheels at the back and an upright support with handles, and a small flat base. You would ease the base under the piece of furniture and tip it backwards so it rests against the support and then push it.
Iv'e tried looking on Homebase/B&Q and Wickes' sites under trolley with no luck. Is there a "proper" name for this?

Oh and if anyone knows where I'd get one for cheap then that would be helpful too.

Thanks, MrsB.

Do you mean a sack truck?

We call them sack trolleys, not sure if thats their real name just what my Dad calls his.

Aha, Thanks, I see it's under hand truck in homebase.
I'd never have thought of a truck - thanks again.

probably cheaper in screwfix or search online. homebase are expensive and way overpriced for everything!

Ha ha, I was just going to post this same question.

Now, anyone know what do you call the elastic cord thing with hooks on both ends that you use to tie round so that the contents don't spill off the trolley?

As to the sack truck Aldi or Lidl sometimes have them.

I have one of these trolleys. Much easier if you get one with the triple wheels that goes up steps.

This is the one we have. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Powertec-1605-Tri-Truck-Multi-Functional/dp/B000JJRA8W/ref=pd_sim_sbs_lp_1

We didn't pay as much as that for it. Found it here cheaper. http://www.primrose-london.co.uk/truck-best-garden-trolley-there-p-17.html?source=googleads&gclid=CN_oqdSD86ACFYou3goddyOJGg

We bought it for when we moved house. It can shift a washing machine or fridge/freezer, so it's pretty heavy duty.
