Overview

A hand truck is a two-wheeled cart with a nose plate that slides under a load. Tilt it back and the weight sits over the axle, so the load is rolled instead of carried.

We rent three: 600 lb, 800 lb for heavier loads, and a 750 lb appliance truck with straps and stair glides for fridges and machines.

Stacks of boxes, appliances and water heaters, deliveries and loading docks, and moving equipment around a site.

Slide the nose plate fully under the load with the heaviest items at the bottom, then tilt back until the weight sits over the axle. Strap anything tall. The appliance truck's stair glides are the only sensible way to take a heavy load down steps.
