I move all of my pins by myself. I haven't had to take a backbox off yet though. I just wrap the head on with cling wrap or sometimes a ratchet strap. Use my hand truck to pull it through the front door. Lower the cab onto my lift cart. Raise and put legs on and raise head and all done. It helps to have a ground level front porch and an outside entrance to the basement with no steps.

Quoted from AvidListener:

This is a great thread/discussion, and thanks to the OP for starting it.
Does anyone have any particular tips/tricks for loading a lift cart or a heavy hand truck into a vehicle by themselves (e.g., using manufactured or makeshift ramps, etc.)?

I don't know why you would need a heavy hand truck you can't lift. There are even aluminum hand trucks for a similar price as steel that can accommodate the weight of a pin. Lift carts are a little tougher. I can't think of a scenario where I would need my lift cart though.
