(Milwaulkee 150lb folding 2-wheel hand cart)

I've used one of these for the past couple years in datacenters and on city streets and it is very solid, especially given that price.  There's also a larger version of it, not sure if HD carries it.  Very well made.  That said, my first one suffered infant mortality due to a defect in the plastic molding, but the second one has lasted a couple of years and some significant abuse without any signs of damage. 

The only thing is that the bungee it comes with is worthless for anything beyond a lightly loaded milk crate, so pick up a set of bungees at the same time.
