I've always referred to them as fridge trolleys regardless of what you're using it for.

You're thinking like an adult - you need to think like a child forced to work on the docks and having to carry sacks of spices around ... then it's your sack truck.

Hand truck makes so much sense. In NZ I would call this a sack barrow 😂

Sack barrow makes sense too tbf - we called barrows a bigger thing for moving earth and rubble xxx

We use "hand truck" mostly in our house, sometimes "dolly". Not sure if this is a regional difference!

In Australia you might call it simply a "trolley" or a "movers trolley" because they are used by removalists I guess?

Barns. The E isn't required @elevatedpachyderm.bsky.social

It's a sack barrow. I remember them from my very first job. Used them to put coal sacks out. In the driving snow. Uphill both ways. Shouts at kids to get off lawn. It's been that long.
