A wise person once said "Work smart! Not hard." Thanks to the invention of the wheel we can do just that. Long gone are the days of breaking your back lifting heavy objects. Today the smart way is to use a hand truck or a dolly.Take James for instance. He works for a small warehouse moving bags of plaster all day long. These bags weigh fifty pounds each and at the end of the day his back is trying to tell him that it is just too much work lifting...more
Jim has a dilemma. He runs a small warehouse where he moves a ton of inventory day in and day out. He is constantly loading trucks and unloading trucks. It is a never ending process but it is his job. A colleague suggested that he get a new hand cart to help him with his daily efforts. Jim thought this was a great idea but he only had one problem. He has so much inventory packed into his small warehouse that he has almost no room at all to store...more
Hand carts are made for abuse. They are worked hard every single day. In one work day a typical hand cart might move over two tons of material. That is a lot of weight. Good thing we invented the wheel because without it hand carts would not exist and if your job requires moving two tons of inventory in a day then your back and muscles would not hold up to the abuse. Hand trucks make it easier.There are many different carts on the market. Some are large and bulky. They can just slow you down. What about aluminum hand trucks. The idea is good. They are light weight so you can move them faster and you will not tire as easily but can they withstand the constant abuse that a warehouse will throw at them?Aluminum is the worlds most abundant metal and with it's superior qualities it only makes sense that it would be widely used for so many applications. It is extremely light but yet it is very strong. It is soft enough to be machined into just about shape. Another great thing about aluminum is that it resists corrosion and it is not magnetic.But the question still remains. Can aluminum hand trucks handle the abuse? The answer is a simple yes. The superior strength of aluminum allows you...more

Every warehouse needs as much space as possible. The whole purpose of a warehouse is to store inventory very efficiently. Even the smallest operations must utilize every square inch of space, not only for their inventory but for the material moving equipment as well. With inventory constantly being brought in and out and moved from one place to the...more
Mike has a small problem. Actually it is not small at all and it is not a single problem but a matching pair. He needs to move his old washing machine and his old dryer. He just bought a new set because his old set was outdated and not very efficient. He has got to move them before the delivery driver shows up. Sure he can man handle them and drag them or slide them across the floor but that might scratch his new tile and his wife would not be very happy if her imported Italian tiles were damaged. Maybe the delivery driver can help him move these two old appliances.He has no idea that there is a special tool created just for his unique situation. The appliance hand truck. My dad always said "You need the right tool for the job." I guess he was right because these mighty tools are built just for this purpose. They can help you move that old washer and dryer with ease. Actually they work with just about any appliance like stoves, dishwashers and even vending machines.What makes them different than a regular hand cart? They are built upon the same principals but that is where the similarities stop. Appliance hand trucks are much wider. This helps to accommodate that large mass. They...more
