Magliner Hand Truck

Magliner hand trucks have an excellent reputation and are a top choice for commercial users, including delivery people. The company is focused on making high quality, high strength and lightweight hand trucks. This focus benefits the delivery drivers who depend, day in and day out, on their hand trucks to: 1) enable them to do their jobs quickly and efficiently; and 2) help them avoid injury while on the job.

The frames come in straight back and curved back depending on the shape of the load. The straight back is general purpose and is strengthened by cross braces in a variety of load capacities for each Magliner folding hand truck. The curved back with lattice cross members is perfect for moving barrels and canisters and provides stable load management for heavy rounded items. Magliner's folding hand cart also offers a wide variety of handle choices from standard horizontal loop to middle positioned vertical loop to single and double handle with molded rubber grip.

There are many different Magliner hand truck parts and accessories that can be added to further customize and match the hand truck to the most frequent tasks. Stair climbers with polymer glide strips can be attached to the rear of the body of the hand truck and will allow for steady and controlled movement while both ascending and descending stairs. A folding nose attachment lengthens the nose for multiple packages, however there is an associated cost in terms of gross weight capacity which is diminished while the extension is in use. Another handy attachment is the keg hook which secures keg handling, especially on stairs, and is a must have for beer delivery drivers.

Magliner Gemini Senior

The Magliner Gemini line of hand trucks combine strength, durability and excellent engineering in the total package for convertible hand trucks. These are two in one hand trucks that convert to four wheel flat beds in seconds. Perfect for extra large, heavy loads and multiple boxes. The Gemini Senior is one of the most popular hand trucks in the delivery industry. There is a variety of different hand truck wheels, including solid polyolefin balloon cushion tires and pneumatic tube tires, that can be matched for the terrain that the truck will be used on most.

A comparable hand truck to the Gemini series would be the RWM Senior aluminum convertible hand truck. It is a great example of the strength of aluminum and is available with either a loop handle rather or double grip handles. This well made 2 in 1 hand truck is popular with delivery drivers and warehouse applications. The 500 lb. capacity model has a big 1,000 lb. capacity in four wheel position. Pneumatic 4-ply 10" tires and solid rubber, ball bearing casters give it great maneuverability.
