Safco Heavy-Duty Folding Hand Truck Dolly - 500 lbs Capacity, Collapsible & Lightweight with Telescoping Handle - Perfect for Moving, Warehouse, Home & Office Use

2017 update: I've been using this hand truck for more than six years, and just ordered a second one for someone. I continue to be very happy with it and wouldn't change anything in my original review. I really appreciate that it is sturdy with very high build quality, folds up easily and compactly, opens easily, and can carry a heavy load with ease.One usage tip: If you need to pull the loaded truck up a high step (e.g. a 4" or higher step) try putting a length of 2x4 or even 1x2 lumber (or something similar) on the ground at the base of the step. This gives a one-step "ramp" that makes it even easier to pull the loaded truck up the step.original review:As others have pointed out, this hand truck is a bit expensive. It seems worth it. This hand truck is 50" tall rather than the 39" typical of other units. It is easily handled. The lower 39" units are more like a roller luggage carry-on. This Safco unit is a true hand truck that can be pulled over stairs and moved easily.It is sturdily built of aluminum tubes. The heaviest item I've carried so far is about 70 pounds. There is no flexing of the frame and it makes moving the load easy.The 8" rubber wheels can be pulled up over, or eased down over, steps fairly easily. If the wheels were 10" it would be even easier, although as is it works well.The unit open up or folds easily. A button on the horizontal bar allows the handle to be extended or collapsed. Pulling the toe plate out also opens the wheels. Pushing the toe plate up rotates the wheels in so they are parallel to the frame and lay flat. It becomes a flat unit no more than a few inches thick for storage. When collapsed it is easy to put the hand truck in the back seat of a car.The toe plate is rather large which makes it easy to carry large items. I also purchased a steel cable bungee cable to help hold large items in place: Master Lock 3039DAT CamLok Adjustable Steel Cord Bungee CordThe unit seems very sturdy. I suppose only time will tell.So far I am very pleased with the hand truck. It makes moving heavy loads quite easy.
