We are serious movers, though, and I have tried non-swivel and half-swivel systems, also. I just prefer the swivel. I use one "non-swivel" two-wheeled all-terrain home-made dolly contraption that you wouldn't believe. When you really want to boogie, spin, dance in the gravel, or jump a step or two or three, it's the cat's meow. Just the right size for a standard swivel dolly to rest on, resulting in a two-tiered, six-wheeled monster that can't be beat. Also acts as an out-rigger for long grands. We aren't "full-time" movers, by any means, but we are the only ones in the book, so we get a lot of calls. Also handle all of my store and shop transport needs. One thing about Fort Stinkin' Desert, though.... not alot of stairs. SeeYa, G
