Hoosier,
does the orientation of the wheels have an impact? - I played around with the one at my local airport, and I could feel real resistance to things sliding across the wheel, as opposed to along the wheel, but that was with soft loads (duffel bags), not harder more rigid surfaces (boxes) - the wheels on the one I looked at were smooth metal (aluminium)
I always figured it was easier for the load to move in the direction of the wheels, and the sideways forces across the wheels never got high enough to force the load sideways, but I wasn't able to bend the airport one around to test my theory
