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.

There should
be a 'boatanchor FAQ' somewhere online that explores
this topic (if there already isn't one it should be created)
Haven't heard anything from any collector about causation of a
permanent back problem from our hobby, for one possible problem
with rooting around pallette loads of scrap. Luckily I'm not at this
point yet. Kinda hope you're not too.
