Convertible Hand Trucks
Available33 products
Convertible hand trucks can be used as an upright hand truck or as a platform truck to allow the trucks to carry a wider range of items than would be possible with other types of hand trucks. Also known as multiposition hand trucks, they let one person move large or heavy items such as boxes, crates, and raw materials. In their hand truck configuration, they have a nose plate that supports a load and a vertical frame that prevents the load from falling off the trucks as they are moving. The nose plate slides under the load or the load is stacked onto the nose plate, and the trucks are tilted back and balanced on their wheels so they can be rolled from one place to another. In their platform truck configuration, they have a platform that is supported by four wheels and provides a large surface area for stacking loads. The hand trucks' load capacity may change depending on the configuration it is being used in.
Powered 2-Position Aluminum Convertible Hand Trucks
Powered two-position aluminum convertible hand trucks have a battery-powered motor that reduces effort when moving heavy loads. The trucks are propelled forward when the motor's throttle is increased, and they stop moving when the throttle is at zero. Reducing the throttle activates a braking mechanism that slows the trucks as they move down ramps and inclines. These two-position convertible hand trucks can be used as an upright two-wheel hand truck or a horizontal four-wheel platform truck. Aluminum hand trucks weigh less than steel hand trucks and resist rusting when used in damp or wet environments.

3-Position Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Convertible Hand Trucks
Three-position aluminum convertible hand trucks weigh less than steel hand trucks and resist rusting when used in damp or wet environments. Also known as 3-in-1 hand trucks, they can be used as an upright two-wheel hand truck, a horizontal four-wheel platform truck, or a tilt-back four-wheel hand truck. The hand trucks rest on all four wheels in the tilt-back configuration, which reduces the physical effort it takes to keep them upright when moving heavy loads. This configuration also lets operators open doors and perform other tasks with their hands without having to support the hand trucks or return them to vertical and then re-tilt them again.

Also known as snack trucks, these hand trucks can be used as an upright two-wheel hand truck or a horizontal four-wheel platform truck. Aluminum hand trucks weigh less than steel hand trucks and resist rusting when used in damp or wet environments.
