    No reason you couldn't make one with more all terrain capability. Perhaps some discarded wheelbarrow or pneumatic dolly tires?

    Pretty slick idea.

    I could do that by making it a lot wider so the axis of the wheel on the device would be in close to the tire otherwise any leverage advantage would be lost and trying to hold a truck tire upright would be far more difficult then there would be the issue of the smaller low boy trailer tires. Still quite heavy but often have to be brought out from under a trailer at weird angles.
    so for now at least I'll just Armstrong them, it helps me keep my boyish physique LOL
