Choose the Convertible Hand Truck for Oddly Shaped Items
If your team needs to move larger or oddly shaped items that don’t quite fit on a classic hand truck, have them use a convertible hand truck. It starts as the classic hand truck but quickly converts to a platform cart in four-wheel mode, capable of handling loads up to 1,000 pounds.
Your team can load half a ton worth of boxes on it or use it for long materials and parts. It’s best used over flat surfaces, like the shop floor. When the task is done, it quickly switches back to the upright position for easy storage. If you want a tool that can handle a variety of tasks, this is a great option.
Handle Heavier Loads with a Motorized Hand Truck
Moving large, heavy items from the warehouse to the fabrication area to the delivery bay can be a hassle. Some items are so awkward and heavy that they require two or more employees to move the item, opening them all up to injury risk.
With a motorized hand truck, that might change. The motorized hand truck enables a single person to move larger, heavier items, such as finished fabricated pieces, across longer distances. It does most of the work for your employees, easily handling loads up to 1,000 pounds. All they have to do is strap the items down. The motorized hand truck offers quick-change attachments, which is ideal if your shop fabricates or frequently transports items such as gas cylinders or other round items. Another attachment can even enable the dolly to tow small trailers weighing up to 3,500 pounds into place.
