Extensions on these hand trucks increase the length of the hand trucks' nose plate to allow the trucks to carry bulky loads like cartons of snack foods or suitcases. The extensions can be folded up to save space when they're not in use. Also known as snack trucks or luggage trucks, these trucks are used in delivery service, vending machine maintenance, airport concession, and hotel luggage handling. The hand trucks are made from aluminum. They weigh less than steel or stainless steel hand trucks and resist rusting when used in damp or wet environments.

Nonmarring steel general purpose hand trucks have features that prevent the trucks' frame or wheels from rubbing against items on the trucks and damaging them. There is a covering on all parts of the frame that will come in contact with items on the trucks. The trucks also have wheel guards that create a barrier between items on the trucks and the trucks' wheels. Nonmarring hand trucks are used for moving sheets of material, panels, doors, small appliances, and other equipment with surface finishes that would be damaged if they made contact with the trucks' frame or wheels. They have steel frames and nose plates.

Easy-load steel general purpose hand trucks have nose plates with features such as a tapered shape, beveled leading edge, or raised runners that allow the plates to slide under loads more easily than nose plates that do not have those features. They have steel frames and nose plates and are used in warehouses, manufacturing plants, delivery services, commercial buildings, and similar settings.

Load-control hand trucks have a hand brake that slows or stops the trucks as they're moving up or down inclines or ramps. This helps operators maintain control of loaded trucks while traveling on inclines or exiting vehicles or buildings. These hand trucks are used in delivery service and transportation applications. Modular hand trucks allow users to replace parts of the hand trucks as they become worn or damaged, making them easier to maintain than non-modular hand trucks with welded frames and nose plates. The hand trucks are made from aluminum. They weigh less than steel or stainless steel hand trucks and resist rusting when used in damp or wet environments.
