Convertible Hand Trucks
If your stagehands need more versatility, equip them with a convertible hand truck. The convertible hand truck starts as a regular upright hand truck but in just seconds transforms into a horizontal hand cart. That means it can carry a wider variety of set pieces, equipment, or just more boxes of items. It can even handle loads up to 1,000 pounds in four-wheel mode. When the task is done, it easily converts back to an upright position, ready for more tasks or storage.
Heavy Duty Hand Trucks
For heavier items like furniture or large set pieces, a heavy duty hand truck can help your stagehands move quickly and efficiently. Normally, furniture and other larger items require a team lift, but the heavy duty hand truck enables a single person to do the job. Look for options such as self-retracting ratchet straps and side wings to help keep set pieces, furniture, and sound equipment secure on the heavy duty hand truck. The heavy duty hand truck is perfect for moving anything weighing up to 800 pounds.
Motorized Hand Trucks
A motorized hand truck is typically used like a heavy duty hand truck, but for longer distances. Instead of moving something from backstage to the stage, this tool is great for moving something heavy from the delivery truck into the theater. From small pieces of lumber to be used to create stage décor to heavy sound equipment, it can help your stagehands and other employees easily move large, heavy items. A motorized hand truck is easy to use, and you can find attachments for it that might help around the theater or for outdoor productions. It can even help set up an event tent or move a small trailer into position.
