AZ Hand Truck

[dylanmitchell]

Updating to clarify.


Was looking at various hand truck options and came across the AZ Hand Truck. Much beefier than anything I need but impressed by it and curious if anyone has one or has used one. I'm a fan of anything that's overbuilt and will last a lifetime.


Very beefy monster hand trucks hand fabricated in the USA. Anyone have or used one of these? Huge, heavy over built trucks some with six wheels, brakes, and 2,000 lb ratings.

Standart AT 1,000 lb truck

Rogue Plus Hand Truck 2,000 lb 61 inch tall fits through 36 inch gates

T2/4N1 is the One & Done heavy duty even has forks

Dylan: i'm bumping up your thread so maybe other members can maybe see your question, but also so you can maybe add some more details.

what do you need it for?

how heavy are the items?

how often will you be using it?

I haven't bought a new dolly for maybe 30 years and while some don't work exactly perfect for the job I can usually get things moved around with them or my pallet jacks.

I do like the 4 tire dolley though, but not sure what I'd move with it.

I've not used that one but it looks solid. When I was moving heavy equipment, I used the Mongo Mover.

If the AZ truck is "much beefier" than you need, is something like the WORX Aerocart beefy enough. It has some useful features and attachments.

Unless I was moving large boulders every day I wouldn’t like that extra size and weight. Chances are they made that four wheel one to tote their blow up castles off lawns. My Home Depot 600 pd d handle has handled everything I’ve tried to use for. Light enough I use it quite often

I work on the moving and storage industry. all my hand trucks/dollies are magliners. very light and very strong. last thing I want when having to take stacks of boxes and heavy furniture up 4 flights of stairs all day long is some heavy *** steel dolly.

Magliner hand trucks for sure.

The logos, colors and hype immediately caused my BS detectors to fire.....

I've been using my old HF 600 lb. for many years. IIRC, it was $30. I can't imagine needing anything beefier. There are times I wish it was wider. I have made a few attachments over the years, such as a bigger platform that bolts on, and I used to have a cradle and latch for moving 55 gallon drums. The only maintenance has been a can of Slime to fix the leaky tires.

If your going to pay $6-700 for a steel hand truck with cheap tires like that you should really look into building one tour self. Even if you have to buy a small 120v welder there a good investment in a tool. This is not a hard project to build and you can learn a new skill.

I mostly use one I picked up from some random guy who fabricated them in his home shop and sold them at Swap meets in Northern Indiana for $20, probably thirty years ago. It was unpainted, so I sprayed it with some leftover paint from my 75 Cutlass.

Stout, light, and the perfect size. I also have a larger, heavier, clumsy one I rarely use.

For moving large e items, forks on the tractor or CTL are the ticket.

That was my first thought when I saw their pictures. Looks like a simple cart welded out of some steel pipe anyone with a little welding experience could throw together. I've always thought about making some specialty dollies for things like the wife's big flower planters or 55 gallon barrels. Would come in handy once in a while but not often enough to justify buying specialty dollies made for those jobs.

Magliner hand trucks for sure.

X3 for Magliner.

 

[dylanmitchell]

Sounds like Magliner is the way to go. Even the Milwauke hand carts are 30-40 pounds of extra weight to drag around.

I bought a hand truck a few years ago to use around the house and shop. The first thing I looked for was solid tires. All the pneumatic tires on anything nowdays are junk, always flat when you need them. Mine was made in the USA, still has the sticker on it, but I know I didn't pay more than $50 for it, and it's held up very well. Refrigerators, freezers and stoves to name a few.

I've been using the same 600 pound hand truck for 40 years. I think it is a Dayton, but it has been painted many times.

A few years ago I was given a 1,000 pound hand truck with a taller frame and larger tires. It's heavy duty but I rarely use it. It is too large to be comfortable. I keep it as a backup and those few times I need to use two at the same time.

My suggestion is to find one that fits you. Don't buy one based on a spec sheet.
