If I tried that, all you'd see was pile of broken can packs with maybe limbs sticking out, and a pool of blood...

Yea, some people never heard of a simple 2-wheeler. 2 guys to load him then what about the other end? 2more guys??? So probably as many as 5 guys total with only 1 moving product. get 3 or 4 2-wheelers 1 guy handing down the product while the mover loads his own 2-wheeler , maybe 1 guy at the other end to help shift off of the 2-wheeler and stack if need be, otherwise have 4 2-wheelers this means 3 to 4 times the product moved in the same amount of time with the same number of guys. everyone works continuously instead of up to 4 guys standing around waiting on the carrier less risk of product damage or injury to the carrierQuote:

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.Quote:

When I visited Ankara in 2003 I think is was around $1 USD to 1,000,000 TL then in Mesine later that year it was about the same but my last time to visit Turkey I think it was in 2011 they had chopped off 6 of the zeros but were mostly using the Euro by then. I made a lot of trips to Turkey over the span of about 25 years It amazed me to see how much the country changed every few years. Once at an international trade show in Istanbul I gave a young man 50 Euro to follow me around with his hand truck for the day, you'd have thought I'd given him 1000 dollars. At another trade show a few years later it took 300 Euro to hire someone to tag along and cart my purchases and other things.Quote:
