 With
all of the different types of hand trucks available today,
you should not overlook the one that started it all. The standard
hand truck is quite a work horse and using one makes total
sense. It is quite simple really, you can move much more,
much faster with a standard hand truck. They help move heavy
loads safely and more efficiently.
You still have plenty of choices when
choosing a standard model but the main choice is, which one
is right for you or your crew?
Aluminum - This light weight material
makes moving materials and supplies even easier. However,
they do generally have a lower maximum load limit than one
that is made from steel. They can be a little more expensive
too.
Steel - Hand trucks made from steel
are generally less expensive and they can usually handle larger
loads. The only real downside is the fact that they weigh
more but it is really hard to notice when you are using one.
Once you decide on the type of material
your new hand truck should be made from, you still have other
options to choose from.
What type of wheels are you going
to need? That depends of where you are going to be using it.
Solid, Pneumatic and Balloon cushion are just a few of the
choices.
What type of handle should you get?
There are loads of different handle options and styles, some
allow for more leverage and others are simply there for aesthetic
purposes.
There really is not anything standard
about these mighty mass moving tools. Whether you use one
a work or at home, you will be working smart not hard! |
