Default My Back is begging me to buy one of these

It is one of the least expensive I have found, but I am still looking, maybe Harbor Freight has something?

Your link just takes me to a general website. Now I'm curious about what it is you're looking for.

Hmmm when I clicked on it it took me right to the traveler hand truck...I would just roll it ( sewing machine) to the truck and slide it off, No more lifting..LOL

I've never seen one of these, so I have no ideas. If you move heavy machines often and you have a weak lower back, as I do, this is probably a useful investment.

It does look handy but how heavy is it? If you need to unload your machine when you get someplace, the loader will have to go with you.

It is made to roll easily in and out of vans, trucks or maybe even SUV'S, once it is on the ground it rolls upright like a hand truck. NO lifting whatsoever. Just sliding it in and out. I am really thinking about this for hubby and I for all sorts of applications including the BBQ tank.

I have a really cheap little "hand truck" I bought at Sam's Club for bringing in groceries, etc. It works okay for that but don'tknow if it would be heavy-duty enough for a sewing machine...it was (I think) about $20 or so...

What is neat about this one is you can raise and lower it to any height for putting into a vehicle or onto a table or just moving them around or taking to quilting classes.

It does look like a great idea. But kinda pricey. BTW the link worked for me.

This was the cheapest one I found so far, most of the lift hand trucks were thousands of dollars.
