Some places, bodies are cheap, and machines, even simple machines, are not. When I was stationed in Turkey in the 80's, friends moved into a 7-story apartment building downtown in Adana, and on the top floor. The elevator was too small for their refrigerator. Old geezer carried it up the seven flights of stairs on his back. I don't think I could have done that then, and sure could not do it now. I don't think I ever saw a hand-truck/2-wheel cart while I was there, except maybe on the bases. Total of three years, two different bases.
