Some of our ichthyology labs had a big gardening cart with the large tiers which they took into the field. They let me borrow it once for moving material between buildings and it was lovely. The directional handle was really fine control as well.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">I agree with both Andy and Paul. The balloon /pneumatic tires are a good idea. They would absorb vibrations on the floor. At Science Museum of Minnesota we used heavy milk carton crates, padded with ethafoam to move many of our fluid
collections in gallon jars. As I remember (it was a few years ago) we used our regular carts with lips on them to move the smaller jars, often packed in boxes with dividers.

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">I have never used one before but just looking at it I would not think it would be safe for transporting fluid materials unless you could find one with a lip that would prevent materials from falling off. Depending
on the grade of your ramp, I would not think it would be too unsafe to use a regular low level cart and place all jars into crates or boxes and secure them to the cart.</p>
