Our selection of hand trucks, carts, dollies, pallet jacks, material lifts, material handling equipment and more includes top national brands. As he expected, the table fit on the hand truck with ease, and on the walk home, I even had an extra hand to carry a printer that I found on someone’s stoop.Since 2003, family-owned Hand Trucks R Us has grown into the ultimate destination for hard working do-it-yourselfers and professionals. But my partner just grabbed the Magna Cart, and after stopping for dinner with a friend in Fort Greene Park, we headed over to Boerum Hill. You might want to use a car, it’s about 70 pounds, texted the seller, causing me a moment of concern. Our final pickup was the 68-inch drop-leaf dining room table from Craigslist. Also, it’s worth noting that the hand truck doesn’t move itself it was helpful, and at times necessary, to have another person to share the rolling and street-safety responsibilities. My partner and I did rent a one-day U-Haul to move some furniture from farther away, but even then the Magna Cart was indispensable: We used it to roll boxes of books, bookshelves, and a dresser down several blocks and up and down stairs. Again, we set out with the Magna Cart and bungee cords in hand, and again, we rolled our furniture home with ease.Īdmittedly, that move was the farthest we took with the Magna Cart, but towing a desk and a side table even a couple of miles is no walk in the park (literally). Our next pickup was an Ikea side table and desk, this time located nearly two miles away from home. In fact, the hardest part of that move was fitting it through the front door. The cart’s rubber wheels navigated uneven pavement pretty well, and, to my relief, we didn’t have to lift the sofa more than a couple of feet. But, the Magna Cart is a sleeper (pun intended).Īfter a little bit of finagling we strapped the sofa to the cart, and rolled it three avenues (the equivalent of about nine blocks) home. At first glance, the collapsible hand truck didn’t seem sufficient for transporting a clunky-looking sleeper sofa even for a couple of blocks the hand truck folds up to about the size of a backpack and only weighs seven pounds. But, as we set out to pick up our first item - a green loveseat sleeper sofa - I suggested that we bring a collapsible Magna Cart hand truck, which I’d found while cleaning out our front closet earlier that day, in the hopes that it would make the move slightly easier.
HAND TRUCK MANUAL
Since my partner is more resilient in the face of manual labor than I am, our plan was to move the furniture by foot, with as many water breaks as necessary. Some found items - namely, a Lodge cast iron pan, and a vegetable themed-clock - were easily transportable by bike, but most, like all of those listed above, were not. During the move I nabbed us a vintage, six-drawer dresser, a wooden, drop-leaf dining dining room table, and a collapsible bookshelf, among other things (all of which we wiped down before use).
HAND TRUCK FREE
Like all Strategist staffers, I am an inveterate bargain shopper, but I also have a particular knack for finding freebies, often on my neighborhood Buy Nothing group and the free stuff section of Craigslist (both of which are on my bookmarks bar). To keep our expenses as low as possible, and my spirits up, I resorted to my personal form of retail therapy: perusing free apartment furnishings online. Recently, my partner and I tested the limits of our relationship by moving and redecorating our apartment without the help of any professionals, an endeavor that experts on this very site have aptly compared to being hit by a train.
