Hand & Sack Trucks
Hand & Sack Trucks are two-wheel units with an upright frame whose toe plate slides under the load; tilting the frame back balances the load on the wheels, suiting stacked boxes and sacks in warehouses. They carry loads upright, unlike platform trolleys, and lack the step-climbing mechanism of stair-climbing trolleys; choose by rated capacity, frame material (steel or aluminium), wheel type (solid or pneumatic) and toe-plate design.

About this category
Hand and sack trucks are two-wheel handling units with a vertical frame that carries loads upright by means of a lower toe plate sliding beneath the load; the user tilts the frame back so that the load is balanced on the two wheels. Models differ in frame material; the frame may be made of steel, aluminum or other materials depending on the model, and a single material should not be assumed across the category. Models differ in documented rated capacity, and a single value should not be assumed across the category. Toe-plate designs vary between fixed and folding plates depending on the model, and wheel size and material vary across models (solid wheels and pneumatic tires depending on design). Some models may offer a convertible design between vertical mode and horizontal platform mode. A hand truck differs from a platform trolley in that the load is carried vertically on a toe plate rather than distributed on a platform, and from a pallet truck in the absence of forks and a lift mechanism. Platform trolleys, pallet trucks, drum trolleys and stair-climbing trolleys are excluded from this category. Industrial buyers select hand truck models based on rated capacity, frame material, wheel type, toe-plate design and floor conditions.
