A friend of mine has a motorized handtruck for moving his arcade game
machines.  While its handy for very heavy items, it also weighs about
150 lbs on its own.  For lighter items I found a plain handtruck was
useful.  The cinch-down tiestraps you can get in the automotive
department of places like Wal-Mart are very useful for securing items
on casters inside a trailer or against the handtruck.

I recently unloaded a VAXserver 4000/300 from my car into my basement
myself using a manual handtruck and cinch straps.  I was also able to
get a Fujitsu M2448 9-track drive into my basement the same way.
