Got not one but two Wyse Two Wheelers!

@Mike2633 . . Mattingly USED to be the supplier to most, if not ALL BobEv's in Ohio. . . GFS turned them out, bigtime. Don't know the politics behind it, but . . . chances are those were leftovers, maybe one or 2 even left in my wife's store, unattended, LoL!

 

Nice carts, but way heavy for what I do. I also don't need brakes...if I can't slow a stack of chips with just muscle I'd better quit now . My cart is a very basic Magliner, plus the frame rails from a second Magliner, with a bent-tube extension nearly 3 feet long on top of that. Oh, and pneumatic tires.

If I ever get my dream TIG welding setup, I'm making my own, with a telescoping upper half to accommodate different height trailers we use. Also, more easily replaceable blades that don't require the wheel mounting portion of frame to be replaced too (silly Magliner, those blades wear out). Got a few napkin sketches, but really need to get a decent CAD program and start seriously working on it.

 

Actually wrong on both counts. School deliveries was pretty much limited to textbooks in late summer. Sally Beauty was at least a twice a week thing. No lift gate for either one. You tailgate it, then you unload it and wheel it in.
Had one idiotic new manager at a Payless Shoe dive try to insist that I separate her freight by label color. That went over like a fart in church! She called her district manager and was straightened out in a hurry. In part of her conversation i heard her say, "but in manager's school we were told they would." (She was too new to have learned the, "but the other driver always does it" line. She lasted for just a couple of months.

New blade? What's that????
We actually had several hand trucks that some jack arse had welded the company name on the blades. Talk about a pita to use...

 

I've heard numerous LTL guys from all different companies complaining about ole Sally! Lol. Must be a real PITA.
