Don't know about that, but where I'm currently working, they have a very
lightweight full size handtruck that's most made of a composite plastic
material (the actual handle & flat "fork" are steel)- one can easily
pick it up with one hand and lift it onto a truck tailgate. (I work at
a volunteer organization formerly with all female employees). A bit of
adaptation, and you could easily make a hook or strap for holding the
keg and IIRC correctly, it comes apart with a coupla wrenches/sockets
(or convert to butterfly nuts). A lot cheaper than that $au300 (that's
about $220, right?) one and usuable as a "real" handtruck-(rent it to
your neighbors!). I've seen other women "customers" arrive with the
same truck, so I'm guessing they're common enough. Will get the brand
name today if you're interested.

My real concern is space. In NYC space = $$. The smaller it is the
better. A full size hand truck even made of the lightest material is
just to big to store. This is for personal use not comercial use.

You don't have a closet? It's a stand-up hand truck, not a car. Drape
a sheet over it and back it into the side of a closet, then hang your
coats up in front of it.

Get a dolly with a fold up platform and a bungee cord. This is a hell
of a lot smaller than your Sanyo draftmaster.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned that it comes apart by removing 8 bolts
(really only 4 if you only remove the "nose plate" as they call it) and
could easily fit under a bed or in a closet or use it as a dressing
dummy (I know I can't help but drape my coat over my handtruck in my
garage most days). It's no bigger (and more utilitarian) than that
Aussie unit. And it's only about $45

Otherwise, you could find a used steel unit and a friend with torch and
welder...
