Now how would we know that when you haven't even told us what make and model, or even described it for us. there are usually several options available, depending on the cab. Post a picture, post a link to a catalog page, etc. you'll get more responses that way.
OK. Gotta go to my second gig of the day. First was a street festival at 11 AM, now a wedding reception, so I'll check back in this evening.

Get yourself a cheap folding hand cart like the one above.
They are not expensive, and long after your current combo amp is dead and forgoten, the cart will still be useable for hauling other gear.

but +1 on the cart. I have similar to above and love it.

| | | | get a piece of 3/4" plywood cut to the shape of the bottom of your amp, add 4 heavy duty casters and place your amp on it. Drill 4 holes through the board and amp floor and get 4 nuts and bolts long enough to go through both, and bolt them together. Or you could see about getting a replacement handle or both |

| | | Sounds like the cheapest and smartest way to go is with the replacement strap,thanks guys |
