Very cool. I thought I was the only one thinking about this a lot. I have to
move everything I have at home a lot.
We have a pallet cart frame at work that is on heavy casters, but locks in
place with a foot pedal that, upon kicking down,
becomes a sort of stationary jack, that goes down, locks against the floor
flat, keeps the whole thing from moving.
If this is not in among these somewhere, I can take a pic of it sometime,
and post it. I'm not sure what the device is called.
Sounds like it's just a pallet jack, one of these?

Long story short, at one point in time I sold my house without a plan
as to where to move into. I had a friend who had a warehouse bay, so
I packed everything onto pallets, wrapped them in huge quantities of
industrial saran wrap, and stored them in the warehouse. Got to be
very familiar with that pallet jack.
P.S.
Standing in a warehouse looking at a 10-15 pallets that hold your
entire household worth of stuff is an interesting experience...
