Title: Modified Hand Truck
Post by: newbee101 on June 16, 2007, 07:40:27 PM
I added some scrap mahogony decking to my hand truck.
I used 5/16 bolts to hold it together, added holes for bungee cords.
This should get them supers down the hill. :)
What does everyone else use?

Newbie101.  Great invention.  Should work wonders, I would like my husband to alter his for me (wonder if he would do that?hmmmm).  Have a great day, great life.  Cindi

I wheel barrow mine if it futher than 15 or 20 ft. Then It isn't over 50 to the truck from some of my hives.

I use a garden cart I purchased at Home Depot.  To transport my boxes

I don't have to move mine. I don't even have to extract. I just place the jars on a table in the bee yard and my girls are trained to just fill the jars! Send me $10 CASH and I will train yours as well.

Looking for a creative way to pay for my bee habit,

Steve

I have a piece of 1/2 inch plywood that I have tension holders spaced so they click onto the handtruck rails.  Click it on, pile on the boxes and move them about.  Take it off when I need a regular hand truck.  I also have a wheelbarrow and a garden cart so if somethings in use I have alternatives.
