screw carrying that amount of weight, get a stairclimber...

when I was a student I worked at St James' Park (Newcastle United's football ground) and I'd load up six cases of beer cans on one of these and transport them up the stairs - was still pretty physical, but easier than carrying them.

I'm thinking of getting one of these myself.

As I have a dodgy back I have been using a wolf craft sack truck to move my kit around on for years and its still going strong. It easily travels over rough terrain and its designed, allows you to pull it up stairs loaded.

Unlike other sack trucks of the same design its ultra study and importantly has a brace between the wheels.
Dare I say it, good old Germany engineering and that's coming from a Brit.

true its going to save your back.
but on the cobbled streets of brussells i might worry about my amp shaking to bits. not that im suggesting an amp is more important than my spine.

The sack truck will be too bulky for the car. I'd like to keep the amp fixed to the device when loading/unloading. Also I do not think that the Ruck Sack thing is gonna harm your spine in any way. Those guys have been designing alpine equipment for ages.

Carrying an amp on one side and walking not upright, that is what actually will harm your back, not an evenly spread load that you carry in totally straight position. I think I'll go for it and see how it works out.
