Another excellent option for your moving needs might be to use a dolly.
Dollies are another form of moving equipment that makes heavy items roll much easier.
Dollies are usually square/rectangular in shape, with surfaces close to the floor for minimal lifting. They have 4 or more wheels on the bottom so once an item is placed on the dolly, movement is as simple as pushing it along and letting the wheels do all the work.
Dollies are made from wood, steel, aluminum, and plastic with several deck configurations available. Wood dollies are designed as open frame and solid frame. Open framed models can have carpet end padding, rubber end caps, or a flush smooth surface. Aluminum and steel dollies can move heavier items no problem and those with swivel casters let you maneuver in tight quarters.
*Note: If you plan on moving items up and down stairs, then dollies will not work. For stair climbing, a hand truck is the best choice since you can control the load better as you move up/down the stairs. Some hand trucks have a stair crawler option for additional ease in maneuvering.
If you will be moving large items across flat surfaces, then dollies would be a good choice.
