Well...I went did it, I bought the ultimate pump mover and I could not be happier! Actually I'm happier buying this than the last Wayne 60 I bought. The fact that old age is catching up with me and the fact that I didn't pick a light weight hobby drove me to the realization that I can't keep doing it the same old way.
This is a 36-volt electric powered hand truck made by Haulz-All, rated to haul 1000 lbs. It's unbelievable how it handles the pumps on rough terrain, notice the dual drive wheels. It handles any electric pump with no problem, the Tokheim 36b is loaded with the guts, no problem. When it comes to visibles....well I need to get out of the visible business...lol, it will move them but it takes an extra person to help. The only solution would be to add ballast at the base.
I had it at the Evansville and Michigan Gas shows last week, I had a crowd watching when I moved a pump. Oh, and when you give it full throttle it's a little hard to keep up with so watch out for me at CTO and Iowa Gas....LOL. Only drawback is that it's not for the causal pump mover but it's worth every penny for as many as I move.
Tom.

Very nice and something I'm sure you wish you had many years ago. As you said this hobby requires a lot of lifting and the older you get the smarter you have to work.

It will be worth it in the long run Tom. Mine is similar but no motor.

It's a job I've been putting off but now I've been moving pumps around to organize the junk yard and no more sore back, best money I've ever spent!

That thing is awesome. I would like to get one. Not cheap but less than being out of work for a month because of a pump accident. I would have to leave the dual wheel option off because it would be too wide to go through my side gate.

You're right Matt. If memory serves me right, I think Tom had an accident with a pump that put him out of work for a while. His buying the cart now exemplifies " locking the gate after the horse is out!" LOL, I had to say it Tom. Ed.
