There are two main considerations when selecting the right hand truck for a job. The first is what you wish to move or carry, the second is the type of surface you want to wheel over. To help meet the first point we manufacture a number of hand truck frames, the style and size of each are based on what they are intended to carry. To meet the second, we stock around 10 different types and sizes of wheels.

Most of the upright frames consist of two inverted "U" shaped side frames with different style backs depending on the intended use. This makes for a strong light weight trolley which is very comfortable to wheel. The following pages show the different standard frames and wheel types. The chart below gives the dimensions of the various frames and the chart further back in the brochure shows how the frames and wheels can be combined to give the most suitable trolley. If you still can’t find anything to meet your requirements, give us a call and we may be able to design something for you.

NOTE: Width across axle varies with some wheels but is normally 170mm wider than the toe.

The Piano Trolley is a heavy duty pipe frame and is available in 2 sizes, the large one also being a heavier construction. The sizes are shown in the chart on page 2-1. They both have 2 fixed axles allowing 4 wheels to be fitted for maximum load carrying capacity. The frame is placed under the load and is turned by raising one end off the ground. The top surfaces of the frame are covered with plastic hose to protect the load.
