Tips for Choosing Hand Trucks
- Check the frame capacityChoose a hand truck rated above your heaviest load. Heavy-duty models carry up to 1,000 lbs.
- Pick the handle styleLoop handles allow one-hand use, double-grip handles give two-hand control, and D-handles are compact.
- Match the nose plateWide or extended nose plates support larger cartons; narrow plates slip under tight loads.
- Choose wheels for the routePneumatic wheels cushion bumps and curbs; cushion and solid rubber are puncture proof on smooth floors.
- Plan for stairsStair glides or roller stair climbers make steps safer and easier.
- Secure tall loadsAppliance trucks use straps and ratchets to hold tall, heavy items firmly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight can a hand truck carry?
Our standard hand trucks are rated 600 to 800 lbs and heavy-duty models up to 1,000 lbs. Appliance trucks with rear support carry up to 1,200 lbs on the back wheels.
Should I choose pneumatic or solid wheels?
Pneumatic wheels give a cushioned ride over curbs and rough ground. Solid and cushion rubber wheels never go flat and suit smooth indoor floors.
What is a convertible hand truck?
A convertible hand truck works as a two-wheel upright hand truck and folds down into a four-wheel platform truck for larger or heavier loads.
Which hand truck is best for stairs?
Choose a model with steel stair glides or roller stair climbers. Appliance trucks with stair climbers are designed for moving appliances on steps.
