Use straps. Do you really think your wife can stop a 300lb cabinet if it wants to fall over? Do you want her even trying?

Totally.
Inflated wheels exaggerate anly slopes, and without straps to hold the cab to the dolly.... :cry:
Believe me this is from perso, err, my friend's experience. My friend; this never hapened to me. :angel: :whistle:

They also bounce going down stairs... they flatten out with heavy cabs... they bounce left and right on grass... it's like everything you could think of bad about wheels when it comes to moving games.

I didn't mean I'd use her for that. I've never even come remotely close to dropping one. I've always told her to stay out of the way unless I need her help. The only thing I've really needed her help for is to help make sure when I tip it back upright, that it does it gently, rather than banging to the ground. But again, I do plan to upgrade when we move.
I'm not saying I advocate this approach, but it has worked for me up to this point. ;D

Ok I guess the inflatable tires are a no no. Do those stair climbing rollers help ? ( Yea I have to go up & down one flight of steps)
Also what is the best way to get it up on a small pickup bed solo ?
